what is your gut reaction to what happened here? it s so sad. it s a tragedy. the community we ve experienced significant progress in terms of our visibility and influence in the lgbt community. we re seeing culturalivity shifts. the sad reality is that suicide atemgs rate of transpeople is ten times the national average. and i think that s what lila was talked about when she said it s something we need to fix. lila s parents are speaking outs. her dad said the family is devastated and told a local tv station, quote, we have no desire to enter into a debate. we wish to grieve in private. lila s mother told cnn we don t support that religiously. we told him that we loved him unconditionally. we loved him no matter what. i love my son. people need to love i loved him.
