Carla Alcorn went onto CNN and said that "we loved him unconditionally. We loved him no matter what. I loved my son. People need to know that I loved him. He was a good kid, a good boy." Some people said that their love was not "unconditional" because of their hostile reaction to Leelah when she told them she was trans.
Many people around the world talked about Leelah Alcorn's death. They made art and lit candles to honor her.
Many LGBT rights groups said that transgender suicide happened a lot because trans people are being treated wrong, just like how Leelah was treated wrong. Besides the problem of suicide, trans people are often killed and treated wrong in other ways.
Some people tried to raise money to buy a gravestone with the name Leelah Alcorn on it to replace the gravestone with her birth name on it. However, this did not happen. Instead, a group bought a bench, tree, and plaque.

Eat the Rich

This saying is used by people who are radical or anti-capitalist to show that they hate rich people. This phrase was used more at the beginning of the 21st century because of increasing income inequality.
The phrase Eat the Rich is used in pop culture. It expresses rebellion against the wealthy and powerful.
