Faith Cheltenham, chair of BiNet USA, has written a beautiful, sad blog post and a call for the importance of community:
Bisexual community mourns loss of bisexual teen, Adam Kizer Every day I hear from bi, pan, fluid and queer kids, adults and elders that they are encouraged to accept "the privelege" of hiding who they are. They are denied services from gay and lesbian resource centers because "they should be fine, how hard can it be?" And so they die, frequently without none to claim them as their own. The bisexual community claims this young person! YOU WERE PRECIOUS TO US AND YOUR LOSS WILL BE REMEMBERED. We will keep fighting for you and share your story in hopes it is one less often told.
