Former gay sex film star commits suicide

Barry “J.T.” Rogers, known as Johnny Rahm in scores of gay sex movies, committed suicide in Atlanta on Nov. 7. He was 39.

Rogers hung himself with a wire on the fence line of the Atlanta Botanical Garden, according to the Atlanta Police Department.

A memorial service is planned for Sunday, Nov. 21, at noon in the gazebo in Piedmont Park, said Adam Kahn, Rogers’ friend and roommate. The service will be informal and those who knew him are asked to share stories, Kahn said.

Rogers was born June 11, 1965, in Milledgeville, Ga. He was buried there next to his grandmother on Nov. 10, said Jamey Rousey, Rogers’ cousin.
Rogers, who was HIV-positive, is survived by his parents, two sisters and a brother, according to Rousey.

2. Maybe someone scared him into believing he had a death sentence

because he turned up HIV positive. Not true... not even a little.

4. but his career did.

I just feel so sad for how alone he must have felt. It's just heartbreaking. The people I have known who have been HIV positive have been fortunate enough to be in committed relationships, so they had complete love and support, and someone to advocate for them in the medical community.

I can't imagine trying to face something like that alone (if that was the case). :cry:
