Similar Stories to Clementi Family Become Advocates After Suicide on Bing News

The foundation already partnered with Rutgers to launch the Tyler Clementi Center, which works within the school and with outside organizations to study young people in the digital era. Matthew Shepard's name is on the expanded federal hate-crimes legislation to cover crimes motivated by bias against gays, lesbians and transgender people. Clementi's death, along with a string of other suicides in 2010, raised awareness of the impact of bullying by associating specific stories with the issue, said Seth Adam, director of communications for GLAAD, an LGBT advocacy organization. The conversation after Clementi's death ignited an expansion of LGBT bullying awareness and mixed with a larger culture shift that allowed other LGBT issues to gain momentum, Adam said.
