Ray Toro of My Chemical Romance, has released a new song called “For The Lost and Brave” in memory of Leelah Alcorn, a transgender teen who recently committed suicide. You can listen to the track below as well as read a statement from Ray.
As I’m sure many of you felt after reading the news of young Leelah Alcorn taking her own life, my heart sank. I felt sick. Yet another young life gone because of not being heard, not being understood, and not being unconditionally loved for who they truly were. After hearing her story, and reading her final Tumblr post, I finally felt it was time to share this song.
