Not to defend this porn star, but isn't a person who bullies someone into suicide guilty some places in being complicit in his/her death?

I don't know, but I think the LBGQTUVWXYZ crowd bear the blame for her death.

Morally, yes. Legally, probably not.

I wonder if there are any states where they do legally......

BUT.....BUT....BUT,I thought the LGTG crowd were the most open-minded understanding people on the face of the Earth?????? Isn't understanding and tolerance what they rant and rave about all the dime while demanding everyone show both to THEM?

WHY......,if I didn't know better I would think they are a bunch of intolerant hypocritical assholes,just like every other leftist shitheads.  </S>

Considering the AIDS rate in the ranks of homosexual 'performers' in that industry, I guess they were going to get her one way or another. It's sad that she felt so alone that she ended her life, if that is indeed what happened.

We are ever assured they are all caring couples, faithful to the last, just like the folks next door...

The AIDS rate isn't as big as people think in that industry, from what I have read, but it seems
apparent that the bullying rate among gay porn performers is reaching epidemic levels. (I'm
pretty sure this isn't the first such incident, even if it's maybe the first to provoke suicide.)

Yes, and entirely monogamous, from what I read.........

@musiclady

I know a couple of gay couples. When they are in couples, they're quite monogamous.
The ones who aren't coupled up . . . that's a whole 'nother smoke. (Put it this way: a lot
of non-coupled-up gays make Hugh Hefner look celibate!)

I believe the word you are looking for is "promiscuous", although that might be understated in some cases.

[EasyAce]

No, I was talking about those who actually do make couples. Those who aren't coupled up like that,
they are who I meant when I said they made Hefner look celibate. There's something rather admirable
about the ones in couples who stay monogamous, even if you deplore their particular sexuality.

Must of the ones in couples I know aren't out parading their stuff on pride day, they are rather like hetero couples in not being in your face with their sexual preferences. I was referring to the 'single' ones, who seem to be the majority and who are far more flamboyant and promiscuous. From one I talked with, that person claimed more sexual partners in a week than most people have in a lifetime.

Bingo. You won't see them parading their stuff on other days where you might expect to see a gay
presence on the more militant side, either.

That's who I meant with the Hefner-as-a-celibate comparison, too. Like the one you talked to, they
brag about it every chance they get, it often seems. Even those who aren't overtly flamboyant about
it, get them talking and they'll tell you just what the one you know told you.

I mean, isn't it bad enough when heterosexual men brag like that?

I was raised with the archaic maxim of 'don't kiss and tell'. I never engaged in locker room jabbering about who did what with who, except to note that much of it was likely wishful thinking. I had a reputation among the ladies I knew for being discrete, and think I actually did more than the braggarts. Still, in those days, a guy didn't engage in activity with a lady he would not be reasonably compatible with anyway. just in case... 

That said, marriage, that vow of mutual fidelity is something I have taken with utmost seriousness, a vow taken before The Almighty, and sacrosanct. Which is why I avoided married women in my single days like the plague (aside from the fact that might get you shot).

Likewise. If anyone ever asked me about my sex life in those years, I said, "Her prerogative, my honour, and none of your business." And
never disclosed who the "her" was.

As would I if I were fortunate enough to meet someone who'd be fool enough to want to marry me again.

I think it was Ronnie Van Zandt of Lynyrd Skynyrd who once said he wanted to die at age 90 being shot
by a jealous husband.

Randy is the word I would apply, randy as a queen in heat!

Just get her to marry you once....

I used to add "...for good reason.", but as I get up in the years, I'm not so sure about the getting shot part.

Nobody ever expects or requests death by flying Sony products in a plane crash.

*laughing* I'd be the one re-marrying! (I'm divorced.)

Oh. THat's different. I'll spare you the 'dog returning to its vomit' speech. 

My first two tries were dismal failures: a poor little rich girl who was a very convincing liar, and another who had worse problems with bottles and other things than I could deal with. Rebound, two up two down. I took some time off (a year that became quite a few more) figuring out what I was doing wrong, and selection was the biggest problem. Then remarried, to a lady who had been a friend for over 20 years, and have been together since. I figured either third time's a charm or three strikes I'm out. So far, it's been a charm. I wish you all the happiness you can find with another, or if it suits you better, without.
