BOSTON -- Sirdeaner Walker, 44, has been surrounded by family after discovering her son, Carl Walker-Hoover, 11, hanging by an extension cord in the third-floor landing of the family's Northampton Avenue home in Springfield.

Walker said her boy, upset yet again over another bullying episode at school, had committed suicide.

"They were always saying, 'you're gay, you must be gay, you act like a girl,'" said Walker.

I can't help but think of the NOM commercial that made the rounds yesterday. You know, the one with the fictionally anguished woman saying "I am a Massachusetts parent helplessly watching public schools teach my son that gay marriage is okay." Were she to exist, I wonder if she would be relieved that the New Leadership Charter School in Springfield has a different message for their students.
