No one should be bullied or hated for who or what they are as long as they're not harming anyone.

Being gay doesn't make him a bad person. There are tons of "straight" people he's better than. But the world doesn't seem to care. Sad. Just sad embarassed

Keeper of gate of hell, we have noticed you. However, note that it was not any demon that pushed him to suicide, but perhaps another closet-gay acting holier-than-thou.

Students and staff of Huntsville High School, Huntsville, Alabama have been paying tributes to gay boy Nigel Shelby, the 15-year-old high school student who committed suicide last week.

Nigel Shelby reportedly killed himself after being bullied by his schoolmates for being gay.

According to multiple Facebook reports, Nigel Shelby who was a student at Huntsville High School committed suicide on Friday after being bullied relentlessly.

“We were saddened to learn this morning of the death of Nigel Shelby, one of our 9th-grade students. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time,” said the principal of the school.

“We are heartbroken over the death of Nigel Shelby, a 15 year old freshman at Huntsville High School,” Rocket City Pride, the local LGBTQ+ Pride organization said in a statement. “Nigel took his life because he was bullied for being gay. There are no words that can be said to make sense of this devastating news.”

Huntsville High principal, Aaron King addressed the tragic death in a post to parents, writing:

“We were saddened to learn this morning of the death of Nigel Shelby, one of our 9th-grade students. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.”

Huntsville City Schools Superintendent Christie Finley also addressed it at Monday’s school board meeting, saying:

“I want to take a brief moment to speak about the recent loss of a Huntsville high school student, Nigel Shelby. I spent most of the weekend really processing this loss and I’m sure many of you have as well. And we will for a while to come.

It’s clear to me that the simple word of the golden rule has really become more difficult for many to understand and to practice and it is time as a society to value, respect and uplift one another.”

She added:

“It is time for us to come together. Now is the time for us to teach our children and our students the values of acceptance, kindness, generosity, helpfulness and basically just being a human being.”

A candlelight vigil was held for the late student on Sunday night.

Radio show host Amir Diamond wrote:

I dedicated tonight’s show to Nigel Shelby. He was a 15-year-old boy who committed suicide after being bullied for being gay. I see myself in him. I was also bullied when I was young, because of my sexuality. I made an instagram video last year that discussed my coming out experience, because I wanted kids like Nigel to see me and know that it’s okay to be who they are.

My hope and my prayer is that kids who identify with the LGBTQA community will be able to be stand strong in who they are (despite what anyone else has to say about it).

I hope that the rest of the world supports those who are in the LGBTQA community (even if they don’t understand it). We have to teach the younger generations coming up to love EVERYBODY. You never know what someone’s going through.

Rest In Peace, Nigel.

We now have an angel who we know by name.

Even tho I totally abhor and dislike Gays because of their disgusting and abominable nature. I also ,in the same way condemn the bullying of kids, because you don't like something doesn't mean you can't tolerate it, well it's USA those kids will get what they deserve....Rip

If you can tolerate it that means you like it.

I wonder why people can't just be tolerant, even if you don't like it at least have the knowledge that not everyone is the same. I simply hate bullying and cannot condone it in any circumstance.

No sane human being will make such an evil comment like yours. I don't believe in the gay lifestyle but bullying and abusing a gay, a child for that matter, to the extent that he becomes depressed and takes his own life, is heartbreaking. If you see nothing wrong with that you need your brain examined.

I don't feel sorry for people like this.all I know is God never made mistake in his creation. For him to have created you the way you're should make you thank him.now two great mistakes of his life, being gay & that is not enough, he went ahead to commit suicide. He know he can't withstand bully why did he come out to announced it to the world? Rubbish, rest in hell & not rest in peace.

Do you know most pedophiles can't help themselves? They love kids romantically, why should they be denied their feelings and right to love? Did you know some people are now marrying their pets and having carnal knowledge of them? These people also claim their right to love, is it normal? I disagree with bullying but don't disagree with the right to dislike their lifestyle. I don't disagree with the right to distance myself from them.
