Transgender Homecoming King Dies From Apparent Suicide: Report

A year after Blake Brockington was voted homecoming king at East Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte, North Carolina, the transgender teen died from an apparent suicide, The Charlotte Observer reported Tuesday. Brockington, 18, was the school’s first transgender homecoming king.

When he was voted king, he told local LGBT newspaper QNotes: "I honestly feel like this is something I have to do. Nobody should be scared to be themselves, and everybody should have an equal opportunity to have an enjoyable high school experience."

The transgender youth activist became open about his identity when he was a sophomore. He explained to the Charlotte Observer in January that he never felt comfortable wearing dresses, even though he but was still forced to wear them. “It didn’t make sense. I felt like a boy," he said.

Brockington’s untimely death echoes the passing of Leelah Alcorn, the Ohio teen who scheduled her suicide note to appear on Tumblr hours after she committed suicide. Like Brockington, her parents did not accept her and her mother told her “it was a phase, that I would never truly be a girl, that God doesn’t make mistakes, that I am wrong.”

Children want you to stop them from becoming freaks and ruining their lives, no matter how much they protest it.

Another troubled soul commits suicide.

Of course it will be spun as the fault of those with whom the reporter disagrees.

"I'm mentally ill -- perhaps having professionals mutilate my body with sharp knives will cure my psychosis."

Guess it didn't work.

Sad for him -- but the people who sell this idea as "normal" should be charged with a crime.

If people really cared about him they’d have gotten him sound therapy. Instead they let a diseased person be unhelped and this is the unnecessary tragedy.

Celebrating sickness rather than treating it can’t have a good result.

Claiming to be what your physical makeup is not means your mind is seriously broken and needs that type of doctor. Not a surgeon.

I’m sure they’ll blame this on the hetero’s.

Homosexuals often say that God made them that way and he doesn’t make mistakes. So how do they explain transgender people? The God who doesn’t make mistakes....does?

So, this was a “I’m a boy, trapped in a woman’s body”?

The same people who advocate "gender reassaignments", addadiktomes, chopadikoffofmes are the same ones who are militantly opposed to GMHo foods and advocate a "back to nature" lifestyle. What could be more UNnatural than coercing someone with psych problems into chemically and/or surgically alter or replace the sexual apparatus they were born with? Especially when it involves minors. Where the hell are the child protective services when they're REALLY needed? Oh, yeah, I forgot, those agencies are infested with progressive thinking social workers who support crap like this.

Being transgender wasn’t the be all to end all it was supposed to be. The school would have better served him to refer him a psychologist.

Apparently she was depressed when she found out that the addadicktome surgery was not covered under her Obamacare policy.

If mental health professinals really cared about these people. They would classify all this stuff as mental illness and start treating it.
Instead they embrace it because it’s popular these days. No one can say that these people have normal thoughts and thought patterns.
