This is Marcel Neergaard, a gay 11-year-old from Tennessee who was bullied so severely, he became suicidal and had to be homeschooled. When he found out that a nonprofit called StudentsFirst gave a prestigious award to John Ragan, a state representative who sponsored an even more homophobic version of the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, he started a MoveOn.org petition asking the group to rescind the award. That petition garnered more than 40,000 signatures. Here, he shares more of his story. You go, kid. (via The Advocate)
