Recent suicide of gay youth in Ottawa prompts questions
When Jamie Hubley, a 15 year old from Ottawa, committed suicide on Oct. 14, attention was turned again to bullying among young people. Jamie was openly gay. Taunting from others about his sexuality played a major role in his suicide.
Professor David Rayside spoke with writer Paul Fraumeni about the challenges lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth face – and about the need to ensure well-intentioned public policy promoting tolerance of sexual diversity is actually implemented. Rayside is a professor of political science and past director of U of T’s Mark S. Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies.
