Karma. Hate breeds hate

One gay chose to abuse and ridicule another. Social media did NOT make him abuse and spew hatred. He had a choice before he went out 😡

Such a terrible news. Thinking of his family and everyone affected by this series of events with such a sad ending

Freedom of speech is being forgotten in this country everyone is allowed to have a view and not should not be forgotten .

Wasn't a drag queen protest. The workers were harassed and abused in their workplace by this person.

This whole thing, from start to finish, is just so terribly sad 😔

And yet, from the video evidence, clearly spiteful. Strange that the Murdoch media is still running hate pieces on Grethe Thunberg, but suddenly he was a saint.

What awful parents

I am very saddened by this. People make bad decisions, especially young ones. How I wish he didn’t take the final solution. Time and life experiences could have changed him. Now, he had lost that opportunity. I’m so sorry for his family and friends.

How very sad ,dear lovely young man RIP x

So sorry to hear. My condolences to his family and friends.

Sad.. he was emotionally unprepared for his idealism. 🤓

Condolences to his Family. And It is very sad that he thought it was fine to bully another both is so heartbreaking.

The guy preached hate and scummery.. What did have to be upset about other than the fact he was a self made wanker No pity for some one like that. See ya! It’s a shame what ya did, but... World is better off without ya!

Too sad

Arent they all in death (cynical)?

Such a sad story

So what went wrong?

Men in dresses should be kept away from children, like these

well that headline could have been more sensitively put

Very sad he felt he had to take his life, my condolences to his family...but why did he lead the protest and have it filmed...for social media what did he expect would happen?

How sad for this young man losing his life against a toxic bullying media and those aligned to the left. It’s interesting to note how little he gets mentioned

And a wannabe nazi

He was right, drag queens aren't for children and most people agree. There is an implicit sexual aspect to drag and parading them in front of children is wrong. Protecting children takes priority over hurting someone's feelings. I'd rather be a bigot than a pedophile

His compassion and sense of justice?

Little sympathy. He took a dozen goons to abuse a drag queen and frighten children. Getting a conscience after the fact doesn't make me think 'Oh what a nice bloke'.

It’s a pity it all ended so tragically, but he was a big time bigot. That’s for sure

A message from Wilson Gavin's familyOn Monday, University of Queensland Liberal National Club president Wilson Gavin died after his involvement in a protest against a drag queen event at a Brisbane library. His family has released this statement. ❤️❤️❤️😪 Everyone has someone who loves or loved them. That doesn't excuse anything. What a shame he sought solace in the Liberal party which surely contributed to his troubled state. This country is riven by the thoughtlessness of increasingly militant theocratic fascists. When our PM is mentored by a man who concealed his father's child rapes ...

The pain of splitting from your family never goes awayBeing granted permission to split by the Queen will help with the logistics but it’s unlikely to lessen Harry and Meghan's heartache. Harry, Meghan and Archie will be subject to kidnap risk for the rest of their lives. Should the UK, which they petulantly abandoned, pay the security? Or Canada, which they have made known is a mere port of convenience whilst Trump reigns? Hmmm.🙄 Unless they are a pack of jerks and pedos. Then it’s super easy 😀 Markle seems to dump all of her family. And a husband so she could marry Harry. None of this makes her good family or mother material.
