The Norman City Council is purportedly responsible for the suicide of an HIV positive gay male.
Zach Harrington, 19, killed himself at his home Oct. 5, 2010, a week after anti-gay sentiments were expressed at the Sept. 28 council meeting. Some residents and Harrington's family members have said they think the anti-gay remarks (from the Norman City Council) may have contributed to Harrington's death.
The Norman Transcript refused to publish story.
