Amazing song. I'm consistantly amazed by these guys. To stand up for the tolerance of everyone (gays being the main focus here) takes a special kind of band, and leave it to Tim and the band to do so. This song gives me chills every time I hear this. Reading the names of the kids who committed sucide towards the end is incredibly powerful too. Great song, great album.
it's more about changing the status quo, it isn't about any one of the kids specifically, but is more about the fact that these kids killed themselves for something that shouldn't be as big a deal as it is. I have to thank Rise Against for putting this song out, as a gay man it really makes me proud that a band I love will stand up for equality!

Is it about Tyler Clementi, though? I mean at the end it says i'm going to go on living and Tyler Clementi commited suicide.
