Wow, what an awful story. Basically, this openly gay, 14 year old was bullied so bad that he commited suicide. His sister went to their school dance after attending his wake, where the school played a Lady Gaga song in his honor, to which some students chanted "better off dead!" at her. Jesus christ that's brutal.

In Buffalo, meanwhile, a painful reminder that little has changed came last week when a student at the school Rodemeyer attended was suspended for continued taunting of the teen even after his death.

This time the target was his 16-year-old sister at a school dance just hours after she attended a wake for her younger brother on September 22. "It sickens me," their father said of reports that some students chanted "better off dead" when dance organizers played a song in Rodemeyer's honor by his favorite singer, Lady Gaga, who has memorialized him in her anti-bullying comments.
