Even in death, gay teen confronts homophobia
Even in death, gay teen confronts homophobia - After 16-year-old Alexander Betts Jr. passed away following a suicide attempt, his family chose to have his organs donated. His heart, liver, kidneys and lungs were all donated to recipients in need. His eyes, however, were not. The young man’s eyes were rejected for donation, not because of any medical condition, but due to the fact that he was gay.
