The Brothers Clementi

As his much-maligned roommate prepares to go on trial, the late Tyler Clementi is remembered by his older brother, James, who wants people to know more about the person Tyler was -- and might have been.

“There’s been so much media attention around Tyler ’s death but there hasn’t been as much focus on his life,” James Clementi says. “He was a person I knew and I loved, and I wanted to share that to make people aware of who he was. For a long time my family shied away from the media because of the legal case. But Tyler has siblings. Now with some space and time, it’s a little easier to discuss after the initial grief of what happened. Now with more time and being more removed, I’ve had time to digest it and what happened and what it means.”

In a series of letters to his brother written at the invitation of Out magazine, James Clementi reclaims Tyler's memory from the headlines and pays tribute to a life cut far too short.
