 
17 year old Leelah (Josh) Alcorn committed 
suicide
 on Sunday December 28th by walking in front of a tractor trailer and 
left a suicide note before he died. But when her mum reacted to her 
death on Facebook, she wrote something that many folks in the 
gay/transgender world are very upset about. First the mother said she 
was 16 when Leelah wrote she was 17. Carla called her Joshua instead of 
the name she’d given herself, Leelah and she also refused to acknowledge
 that Leelah had committed suicide instead she wrote that she was hit by
 a trailer. Meaning that she still doesn’t accept who Leelah was as a 
person even after she committed suicide. After the backlash, Carla 
deleted the post and removed herself from Facebook. Leelah Alcorn blamed
 his suicide on his Christian parents…
