Sacha Sacket, who is part of the Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles, grew up in Iran. He was bullied and isolated and could relate very well to the story of Jamey, a 14-year-old gay teen who took his own life after being bullied for years. His Song for Jamey is quite haunting. It’s available on Spotify.

 

He tries to understand
He turns the pages
They say he’s not a man
It burns in stages
And so
Here’s how the story goes
He dies to let you know
That the kids won’t quit
And his heart don’t fit
And his life is shit

They say it’s such a shame
The war and wages
They find some kids to blame
And turn their pages
But no
Here’s how the story goes
He died to let you know
That the kids won’t quit
And his heart don’t fit
And his life is shit
