Comment: I think the fact that it was picked up by the media is relevant, and it is not relevant that it was or was not the gay press - a term which appears to me to be pejorative in this context. It was a news item about a homosexual young man and thus likely to be picked up more by gay than str8 press.  (If he were a yachtsman doing boaty things he would only have been picked up by the yachting press).  I think we have to look very much at the principle, here, not the individual.  I don't care about the individual or the story, except to feel sorry for him.  I'd never heard of him before thsi AfD, and I never expect to hear of him again.  But I interpret  to say that he is notable.  This means that, whether any of us have actually heard of the kid, or the incident, his 15 minutes of fame qualify him for a place here.  We have the space, and he qualifies for it

Comment: or merge into a controversy section of Trinity Christian Academy|the school's page. Unfortunately, being expelled from a school for being homosexual does ''not'' make for how WP defines notability. Nor does getting murdered, for that matter -- although I hope we can agree that the latter is far worse.  is what we go by here, and in my humble opinion, he falls short
