Should "retweeting" be a crime?

First of all I don't have to prove suicide in order to prove psychological harm.  But not only are teen suicide rates higher than any other age group, but LTBTQ teens are three times more likely to commit suicide than heterosexuals.  

Second of all this occurred in a county where the population elected a District Attorney that has said the LGBTQ community is not entitled to equal protection under the law.

The only person that would "lose the jury" would be the one who argued "Well one time an adult was outted to his family so that means nothing will happen if you out a teenager to the entire community."

What if a member of this board made public a PM shared with him by another member of this board and the intent was clearly to try to belittle, embarrass, and humiliate; would that be a crime? To add to our example what if occurred in a community moderated and the majority of its citizens differed in that person's stance on political and social issues; would that be a factor. 

I mean he failed miserably but that didn't change the intent.
