better off dead. this happened at a high school dance. a nonprofit civil rates advocacy group, just released a book in paper back called "youth in crisis: what everyone should know about growing up gay." >> thank you, good morning. thank you for having me. >> absolutely. let's talk about the book, what is the message that you wanted to put out there in this book itself? >> well, the message is that when we talk about kids that are committing suicide, as a result of bullying in schools, it's much more deeper than a that. and i want to talk about bullying that kids get from their parents and bullying that they get from their religious institutions. these are the things that are really deep and hurting these kids. and i want to talk about kids that are doing the bullying, who are these kids? who are their parents? what do they believe? and we really have to, as a country, have a serious discussion about religious views
