Katy Perry Awarded The Trevor Hero Award

The Trevor Hero award is given annually at the "Trevor Live" event which was held yesterday, December 2nd in Los Angeles. It honors people who promote anit-bullying, being yourself, and generally empowering the LGBTQ community. This year The Trevor Project is honoring Katy Perry.

The Trevor Project chose Katy Perry because she has empowered youth and increased visibility and understanding of the LGBTQ community. As an ally for the LGBTQ community, Perry has supported equality and the freedom to marry. She inspires LGBTQ youth to find their spark through her video “Firework.” Perry strives to let youth know they have value, and by being themselves, they can be anything.

“Everyone deserves a wonderful, fulfilled life. Our sexual orientation or gender identity doesn't change the spark and beauty within,” said Katy Perry. “I’m honored that The Trevor Project has selected me to receive the Trevor Hero Award. Their work has inspired me since 2010, and I know they help save lives.”

Past recipients of the Trevor Project Hero Award include Lady Gaga, Neil Patrick Harris, Susan Sarandon, and Danielle Radcliffe.

Bullied Irish Teen Commits Suicide

Lara Burns, a 12 year-old teen from Kilcock, Ireland was found dead Saturday evening. As it appears she committed suicide after being a victim of cyber bullying. 

Lara was a first year student at Maynooth Post Primary School; in a statement the victim’s school described her death as a terrible tragedy.

“We are deeply saddened by these events. Our sympathy and thoughts are with Lara's family and friends.”

Facebook tribute pages have been set up already and people are showing their support via comments. One of them states, “It’s sick to see what bullying makes people do. Yesterday we lost a innocent girl because of it. We have to take action. R.I.P.”

Lara is the third suicide in Ireland in three months as a result of cyber bullying, the other's being 15 year-old Ciara Pugsley in September and 13 year-old Erin Gallagher in October.
