Marie Osmond's Son Commits Suicide

How awful, and one so young.

At times like this fame and fortune mean little, my thoughts are with the Osmond family.

This breaks my heart for her and the rest of the Osmonds.........

oh my ... oh my.... prayers and love and light to that whole family...what they are going to go thru...how sad for him, in that he did not or felt he could not reach out to someone. I find myself holding my breath as I read and think about this tragedy...

I am so saddened by this news. It doesn't matter to me if it is a celebrity, or a kid next store, or whom ever...it is pure devistation to me. I can so relate to that hopelessness, and suffering, like when my younger brother took his own life. I know what it did to my family.

I will be praying for and lighting my white candle for the entire Osmand Family, relatives, friends, and the fans of Marie/Donnie in Vegas as well.

"Marie Osmond's poor gay son killed himself because he had been told how wrong and how sick he was every day of his life by his church and the people in it. Calling that 'depression' is a lie! Yet the Osmonds still talk lovingly about their church, saying nothing about its extremely anti-gay Crusade. Marie also has a gay daughter!

"Hey, I want her and all the gay kids in the world to know that they are just fine being gay and that they deserve love and respect instead of insults and rebuke! I have gay people in my family and my circle of friends and I am kicking bigot ass and taking names! That is how its done in my religion---(I have my own religion that I made up for myself and it is a great religion that actually works and respects facts and not fantasy!) [snip]

"Yet even though the people they say they love the most in all of their public displays and speeches (THEIR KIDS AND FAMILY!!) are gay,-- their own children, for crying out loud- these people cannot find the Christian decency and compassion within themselves to stop their hypocritical gay bashing!! How sickening. I know so many Mormon kids who were gay and committed suicide, and I just cannot and will not stay quiet in order to not offend bigots anymore. It is all so terribly depressing.

"Marie please don't talk about how your faith in your church has helped you get through this one! Please get some integrity and tell that church of yours that you will leave it and stop giving it ten percent of your money if they don't stop trying to destroy your kids' and all gay people's civil rights and dreams and hopes!!" - Roseanne Barr, writing on her personal blog.

I certainly have no personal knowlege of Marie Osmond's son's sexual orientation. He could well have been gay. But I'm just not that terribly sure how responsible it is to use Roseanne Barr's personal blog as an information source.
