The Buffalo, N.Y., boy, 14, killed himself this weekend after posting an online farewell. Jamey had been tormented for the past 12 months by cyberbullies who made disparaging comments with gay references on his Formspring account, a website that allows anonymous posts. http://abcn.ws/nmF9HP

One gay soldier's coming out seen by millions [video] - A US soldier stationed in Germany had one of the world's most viewed coming out experiences yesterday. Identified in the press as 21-year-old Randy Phillips, he said in the video that he was about to call his dad back in Alabama. Nervous and lacking sleep, he explained that his family members had "no clue" about his sexual orientation. After he asked for reassurance of his father's love, he told him he that is gay, to which his dad appeared to reply, "Yikes" then said "I still love you son, it doesn't change our relationship.... You are my son, and I am very proud of you, okay? And I will always love you." http://bit.ly/oLe6I2
