Kenneth Weishuhn
Kenneth Weishuhn (May 27, 1997 – April 15, 2012) was a teenager who is known for his suicide as a result of bullying for being a gay youth.
==History==
Kenneth James "Rodney" Weishuhn Jr. attended South O'Brien High School as a freshman in Paullina, Iowa, along with his sister Kayla, a sophomore. Weishuhn, then 14 years old, was bullied in person, death threats were sent to his mobile phone, and he was the subject of a Facebook hate group. He was targeted for being gay, having come out one month before his suicide, Weishuhn told his mother, Jeannie Chambers, "Mom, you don't know how it feels to be hated." The bullying was characterized as "aggressive",〔 "merciless" and "overwhelming". In response to the bullying, Weishuhn took his own life in April 2012. He hanged himself in the family's garage and was discovered in the early morning hours on April 15, 2012 by stepfather Kenny Chambers. Kayla stated "The sound of his scream traumatized me for the longest time."
A vigil was held at the Cedar Rapids 1st Avenue Bridge on April 24, 2012. A Facebook group dedicated to Weishuhn's memory gained about 1500 followers within the week of his suicide, which is double the amount of people in his home town. Funeral services were held at Grace Lutheran Church in Primghar and burial at Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Primghar.
