Watch This : Gay Kid Beaten Up By Religious Family
I have no words guys…
I’m in tears watching this video.
I come from a religious family too, and I can understand how difficult it is for this kid…
it’s terrible!
Watch below the original video, and the reaction video after.
Dave
as most religions…MY WAY OR GO TO HELL
Speechless…
Wow… That is Fucking sick.. it’s not a choice you don’t wake up and say hey I want to be gay…… People need to realize that there has been gay people since the begining of time and we are not going anywhere… If it wasn’t for us , these fuckers wouldn’t be rockin the hottest clothes. Or eat the world greatest food created, or books or art or medication that they use to cure their cold….
Why has his parents not been interviewed by the police for this physically abusive behavior? Clearly, abuse is abuse no matter for what reason and this, in my opinion, equals assault and physical assault equals arrest!
Not sure if this was a stunt or not, I am thankful that the camera was pointed at the floor and not at the people. That said, it is odd that the video begins with “I love you, and I’ve known since you were a small child that you were gay…”. That sentence alone takes it out of the “choice” scenario doesn’t it? Ah well, I know I’m preaching to the choir, we have all dealt with this to one degree or another I’m sure. Since he is 20, I guess that means the Department of Children Services can’t get involved, but it seems he’d be in a position to have these “christians” prosecuted for assault and battery hate crimes. He is better with out them, cut your losses kid, we all deserve better.
Ok, the way he was talking I would have slapped the shit out of him too. He seems like a lil bitch, the comments from the family members about him posting comments online, i believe it. Then him saying “ive taking basic biology” no he hasnt….this video was taken way over board and out of context. he is trying to play the victim when he was the aggressor
Still reflecting on what I saw..still shocked..are we still that much in the dark ages? No..they find persecution easier than education..she says she has gay friends? Well… .no more im sure..they should have let the boy leave and did what he wished in life…but noooo..because he still won..he by his acceptance of his parents ignorance and ok with leaving made his parents look worse than ever..bringing there savage selves to surface..I know they made there case by religion. .but ok..please..not to have a religious discussion but please help me understand one thing..christianity is based on the NEW TESTAMENT OF JESUS TEACHINGS AND WORDS..find in the red text of the bible where Jesus spoke condemning homosexuality..there is none..but only by other books in the bible written by men who say was influence by the holy spirit..no different then other denominational Christian beliefs such as pentecostal, Baptist, episcopal. .those types are based on congregating personal beliefs in a lifestyle. .not by the words of Jesus. .that said..that boy should press charges since he’s been disowned..and let his mother and father be exposed to the penalties of the law and see if their loving church condones violence. .I APOLOGIZE FOR THE TALK OF RELIGION ON A BLOG..KNOWING ITS TABOO TO SOME..BUT THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE..ANYWAY..I SURE WISH THAT BASTARD OF A FATHER WAS NEAR ME..GIVE HIM AN EXPERIENCE OF A GAY MAN HIS IGNORANT ASS DIDN’T KNOW EXISTED..GRRRRRRR
Wow my coming out caught on video.. except mine ended with my mother calling the police on me and 72 hours in a holding room until I told them I was straight.. this was no shock as soon as he opened his mouth you knew what was going to happen.. there’s a way to approach this subject and his approach was way wrong.. his approach first was controversial second he attacked them as parents both a big no go when it comes to a very heavy religious family.. what he should have done was waited.. now he has nobody a mistake a lot of us made or going to make..their the one support your going to need but his approach was very wrong and this was the outcome…
I saw this story a week ago. I don’t want to seem like a mindless contrarian so please let me say that I’ve known some chaos and craziness and mendacity in my own life. My first reaction to this video was horror until I read deeper into the story.
Something about this whole story seems fishy. According to this kid he came out a year and a half prior to a somewhat tolerant if apprehensive reaction. Then a year and a half goes by and BOOM he turns on his camera for a few select minutes.
There has to be more to this story than we’ve been shown. It just doesn’t make sense for his family to have this reaction out of no where.
Ignorance, that’s what it is! No respect for human life. I know the feeling of being shun and abused by your own. When I finally came out to my family I was physically threaten by my father that he would run me over if he ever saw me on the street! I grew up in a religious home (I’m from the Caribbean ). I hope the boy was able to leave such a violate home life! Also, hope the LGBT community (if there is one where he lives) was able to reach out to him! So despicable!
What ever happen to unconditional love? You know I just came out of the closet to my grandma (old school hard core catholic) and my grandpa (old school Mormon). I was scared to death to tell them but I did and they still love me for who I am. it people like his parents that are sick and twisted and have never had unconditional love for any of there kids or family it makes me sad to know that people have to go threw this. God made the breeders (straights) and he made the gays. If you think about it god is doing population control so to speak. Doesn’t mean that his parents can treat him like that. His parent are the ones who will be struck back down onto this earth to repeat the life lesson they have not learned.
I saw this that wow those parents have really bad karma that going to play for a life time or more to come that pore kid
It’s probably smart to reserve judgment about this until doing some fact checking. The video has been around for weeks and has caused a fair amount of debate. One article stated that the gay guy received $90,000 in donations. Whether premeditated or not, ever since that gay waiter incident, people have been trying to use gay victim hood incidents into cash makers.
Don’t want to watch it, I lived it. It’s a huge reason that I am in the closet. Those of you who are out, are way braver than. I will ever be.
Oh my Dave, I have been a long time reader of many of the blogs you have written on here for a while. Well over a year actually, and this I have to say is most likely the most heart breaking in my personal view. I heard a rumor of this story flood through facebook but I have never personally seen any of it until now. The video is interesting and at the same time scary to such a degree it makes me wonder a great deal of things.
Personally for the young lad’s family to treat him as such, show that they know nothing about the religion they claim to have. I thought that the teachings of Christianity was to turn the other cheek, and love thy neighbor? How can they do that to their own flesh and blood is beyond me, but personally it shows they know next to nothing about what their religion is all about.
Then to go so far as to twist his words back on him in attacks against him is just down right horrible. All of that aside to hit your own child because of them telling you something that the world has painted out to be wrong on so many levels is just terrible in and of itself. I am fairly certain that he has not really said anything bad about his folks, nor that he ran his mouth all over facebook as they claim. I think the shock of it all and the denial is what has caused most of this reaction but I really feel for him.
I started to question how all of this turned out for him, but thankfully the end of the second video has cleared that up some what. Though thinking back on it, I do side with the one young lady in the video, who spoke about the good side of coming out and the bad side. Seems in this day and age we see more of the bad then we ever do the good and that, I feel is just wrong.
Young and old, people who are coming out or thinking about coming out need love and support, from all the places that they can get it. Without that, either they are living a lie, or dying inside. It is a pity, but maybe some day there will be a place where none of this matters any more, and all things will get better. Well at least that is my hope.
I can honestly say this video has helped me in some personal ways with my own resolve. I have a dream of one day owning a sort of business that is friendly to everyone, is a place for those who are down trodden, who feel like no one loves them, that no one accepts them, and all of those that feel like they are outcast can come and feel what it is like to be “normal” to a degree. By normal I mean, a sense of family. A place where all can call home, so to say. That is my personal dream and I hope one day soon it will come true, for young boys and girls like that lad in the video.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I just had to get this off my chest.
Wow, wow, wow – It’s amazing to me when a family turns their own back on a son/daughter, etc. I’m not surprised of Daniels parent’s reaction to him. However, his mother’s own contradictions become disgusting. The reactions of his father and the others in the room is also amazing. What a brave young man for standing up for himself and believing in himself. I know it’s hard to watch, but I’m glad Daniel posted this because it shows the true face of religion. Luckily for him, family doesn’t have to be blood, it can be whomever he chooses. Good luck to him and I hope he has the strength to serve a beacon of hope to other young adults who make the decision. Be out, be proud, but more importantly, BE YOURSELF!!!
Unfortunately, the kids parents reacted typical, because they choose to live by the bible of what people tells them what is a sin, they are to scared of people to try and believe different from what they have grown to know for themselves. I feel fortunate myself to have not lived in a bible thumpin family, sure it wasn’t easy for my family to hear an except who I was, different from what they had hoped me to be, my sexuality wise that is, but I believe parents know as a kid is growing up and maturing of who and what he is, and I don’t mean just sexually, but if he is a kind and giving human being or if he will be someone who will swindle, beat up and kill if he has to, to get what he wants out of life. All these things I believe are made up of a person from day one I believe.
I’ve been afraid to comment since first time I did it showed up on my FB page. But watching this video makes me want to comment, hopefully it doesn’t show up again but if so than so. You may have guessed I’m not out to my family or friends. Well my two children and. 1st ex wife knows I’m changing or kind of realize that I am some what different. But back to Daniel or anyone coming out or myself. Maybe I will, not sure what’s going on?? But I’d like them to accept me for what way I am. Yes choose or even maybe was made that way . At the same time I don’t want to change others believes or make them feel wrong or bad ethier for what they feel, choose the way they see life styles, Hope I made some sense. Hope and pray more that I’ll be able to be who I may be.
Sad but not surprising. It’s ironic that for all those years homosexuality was considered a mental illness, but being extremely religious never has been. These people are sick and pathetic.
That was messed up on so many levels on the parents part I can’t stand it. A child owes you nothing!!! Because that child didn’t ask to come here! As a parent you owe that child all the love and support that any one could possibly have and give! No matter what !! These parents and relatives are ashamed and embarrassed and worried about what other people think! Daniel you can live with my family and be who you are and not what somebody wants you to be. I feel bad that you had to endure that from your own. Oh and God loves everybody! I wish you love and nothing but happiness forever Daniel … Do You !
Don’t lump all “religious families” together.
Frankly, I’m appalled at the colossal ignorance of some families, especially those that call themselves Christian. But to be fair, these inbred cretins were likely of the same ilk as the Westboro Baptist Church, and don’t represent the vast majority of sane people, even those of faith. After all, Jesus’s message was love and forgiveness. These type of “Christians” should try to remember that when they open their mouths or lash out. And by the way, I am a Christian. And I am embarrassed that I share that fact with these troglodytes!
Sure they hate him. But sounds like he’s some teenage twat. Had it coming.
This is what happens when people believe in nonsense.
The irony of calling her son a “Son of a bitch” as as she is hitting him.
When i see things like this, i thank god i’m an atheist.
I thought he handled the argument quite well; he was very articulate and well reasoned. But this doesn’t really qualify as “beaten up” to me. Seemed more to me like he got slapped around a bit for a whole two seconds, from a woman, and he defended himself just fine. It’s unfair he had to go through this, and sad he has lost his family over it (although from the sound of them it might be blessing they’re growing estranged), but YouTube viewers are overreacting a bit. Much much worse has happened.
Ever since I was 16 ten years ago I knew I liked dudes. I had sex with girls at 13 and my first gay sex at 18. Some have known all their lives and some like me barely at the end stage of my teen years. The way in which I carry my demeanor self and aesthetics are not suitable to fit the gay stereotype as watching football and going to girl strip clubs rather than guy gogo dancers is unorthodox in the gay community. The events surrounding my coming out were selfish unreasonable and saturated in depression from a broken heart. I’m grateful everyday for the outcome of mine though it was handled very wrong. Watching this video was very emotional and tears fell two minutes in. I have no idea who this human being is but he is one I greatly admire now for he possess the nerve strength and FIGHT to stand up for what he is, not a gay person but A HUMAN BEING WHOS INNER QUALITIES SOME DO NOT AGREE WITH! We are and cannot emphasize this enough, OUR GENETIC CODING AN CELLULAR LEVELS ARE ONE IN THE SAME ALL AROUND THE WORLD!! Though our ideology methodical wholesome and religious values differ we are all one in the same no matter who you meet. They have same blood same bones same muscles same teeth same everything as I do here at home. The person you see in the street was created the very same way I was and did get made any other which way. This young man I can say is a top notch individual and wish him all my best and blessing. Its an honor to have him in “our” family. It sucks to say if he carried himself the way I do it would not have come out this way for him and that is very was to say. Why it’s easier for some gays than others idk guys and gals.
Are these ass holes in jail, yet?
First of all, I dont find this family to to be Religious. They are small minded trailer trash. Jerry Springer quality. A christian family, while they may be upset, would be compassionate and want to help the young man. Im not sure weather im more disturbed by their trailer trash reaction, or by the inference that all religious people are
closed minded bigots?
Although this is ridiculous I wouldn’t say he is being beaten for being gay. Sounds like he was running his mouth previously and in the heat of the moment may have caught an ass whooping. Billies are Billies, especially southern Billies as we have here.
You cant fix stupid!!!
I am shocked at the stupidity of this family and what they did. There is no excuse for that. They should be arrested for assault. That shows how “christian” those people claim to be. I hope daniel can find someone to love and support him since his family dont care.
While I feel bad for him, and greatly disagree with the actions of his family I feel that people should know the entire story. He was living with his grandparents rent free, not paying any bills, and bringing a different guy there often. He was mooching off them, and constantly blaming being gay as the reason for everything. They required he help, he screamed they only did that because he was gay. They asked he quit staying out late, He pulled the gay card.
Being gay is not wrong. But when you use the gay card to be a LAZY SLOB you are just as bad as the bigots. The gay community has a bad enough image.
I am an openly Bi person myself in a bigoted town as well. The being gay was not the main reason he was kicked out. He mooched off his grandmother. He was how old and living at home grandmother not paying any bills?
Anytime they tried to enforce any rules he would go onto facebook calling them everything under the sun and being disrespectful himself.
He deserved it, you can tell he’s nothing but a douchebag prick. Im gay and sometimes think the world is against me but i still wouldn”t act like this disrespectful little jerk you can tell he likes to cause drama and trouble. Just because he’s gay doesn’t mean he’s helpless or weak. He knew wtf he was doing, I’m sick of some people using being gay an excuse to act a certain way to get away saying and acting some kind of way. It’s sad but it’s kinda like people saying bs for blacks so called using the black card to act a way. And yes I’m black as well and I even think that is bs. But anyways he deserved it!
Sometimes I wish all these hate videos didn’t always happen in these families from the deep south, lol. I live in Texas and there are definitely people like that here who would and have reacted the same way this guy’s family reacted – and they start off the same way; “We believe in the Word of God” and then quickly start calling you a son of a bitch, an abomination, a piece of shit…I just don’t understand how they can do all that in the same conversation.
Initially I felt like he was provoking them, but as the video went on I think I understood the environment that he was in and that he really was being very brave, especially with that cow in the room who attacked him. Knowing that someone like that was going to be there and then coming out anyway and holding his conviction that he was not disgusting or any of the things they called him…I really feel like he did a brave thing.
There are plenty of people in Texas and the south who love and support gay people…who go out of their way to help us out and love us; people who would be horrified at this video, including a lot of church people who would condemn this video and the horrible family in it. So…we’re not hiding in caves down here trying to avoid all the farmers with their pitchforks. It is actually getting better.
This just goes to prove the POISON that fundamentalist religion is (and frankly most religion in general, I mean seriously look at ISIS/ISIL for another shining example of western religion, and the israli/palestinian conflict!). Those “people” attacking that kid need to be shunned by ALL. I hope people in their community have recognized them as I imagine they have and shun them as they should. Unfortunately knowing this country I imagine no small number of their community will probably back them tell then they’re standing proud with god against those godless-heathen “libruls” insert additional faux-noise poison-propaganda buzz-words… I hope this kid has gotten away from those monsters and is with living with decent sane true human beings away from those poisonous monsters and that kind of “community” that produces and encourages their insani-tea.
I feel horrible for Daniel I’ve bin in that seat I’ve watched my friends in that seat and that’s the real disgrace that someone will raise you and abandon you in the name of God all in one breath well Daniel I hope you look to your self and God and know that he only knows what’s in ur heart onlyhe knows why we do what we do and peoples approval does not matter especially if you beleive in God be the best you that YOU can be and remember ur attitude will determine ur altitude , so just push all those people aside focus on urself be happy no matter what or who it kills be U !!!!!!!
Ignorance and hayt is alahv and way-ell in America, y’all.
The “kid” is twenty years old and still living with his parents. He even has a smart phone. Tell me how they are bad parents?
This whole thing was and is FAKE! Bad action all around.
Todd, not fake.
The kid raise 100k to help him out.
He is supported by a foundation that helps young adults who were kicked out by their parents…
Yes the parents actions are wrong, but the guy was not beaten! It was an argument and scuffle with his parents. No one should have laid hands on him, but get it right, he was not beaten, at least not in this clip we saw.
donald, did u watch the clip? watch it and listen again
Get real it’s not the bible or religion, gay people act like they are people!
Thier are totally unreligious people who feel the same way! This boy had a part in this as well. I hear so many gay people say religious people are like my way or the highway! So many gay people are the exact same way, and want to cram gay down everyone’s throat, when you give attitude you usually get it right back.
Mister Jones,
In a money way, they are ok, and even a stranger can cloth and free a child. BUT TO BE A PARENT, IS NOT TO BLAME YOU SON FOR YOUR SHORT COMINGS. YOUR CREATOR WHAT EVER YOU THINK IT TO BE, IS NOT IN THE HABIT OF MAKING MISTAKES, LIKE THESE SO CALLED PARENTS ARE, AND WHO ARE THEY TO JUDGE THE WORK OF THE CREATOR.
THEN TO GANG UP ON THE BOY AND HIT HIM AND CALL HIM OUT OF HIS NAME, THEN ASK FOR RESPECT IN RETURN, THINK IT TIME FOR THEM TO GET A TASTE OF GOD’S JUDGEMENT NOW…
This reminded me of the old Mama’s Family skits on Carol Burnette, dumbass entrenched southern families making their own lives hell through constant condemnation and belittlement in the name of religion. Jesus doesn’t bother me, but some of his followers scare the living hell out of me. Apparently it’s best to follow some hell fire and brimstone minister than actually listen to the teachings of their supposed lord and savior. Jesus was all love and peace, but I’m of the opinion that if you’re gay you’d have to be certifiably insane to buy into any kind of religion. The whole institution is about power and controlling people with promises of immortality…..now there’s the real hell, eternity with the chosen few.
Gayness is hardly even the issue here. This is a dysfunctional family at its best!!
I am a 60 yr. old gay man and have been gay my entire life when I was 15 in 1969 something like this happen to me so I know a little what this boy felt while watching this video I was in tears I can t belive how far gay people have come but yet some people still think this is a choice .How could a family do this to there own flesh and blood and to gang on him like that .To listen to all those young people react really touched me . I have been in his shoes and have people all my want to hurt me wish death on me been beat up by gay gang bangers but never did I feal ashamed or let people make me feal bad about myself it just made me strong so many friends have died from aids killed them selfs I thought we have come a long way but it seems not my heart goes out to this boy I know he will be strong and have a great life you go boy
Speechless, but not completely, thats what I thought would happen when I came out to my parents but my parents responded differently wish his would have.
What kind of religion is so full of “hate thy neighbor”? I hope that the guy telling his family LEAVES that group and joins another one that promotes love
I once saw a video that included “I did not choose to be gay, I just got lucky” somebody should tell that to the godless family that mistreated their son
their actions speak VOLUMES of how un-christian they are
When I was 12 my dad took me and my two brothers on a guys trip into the woods. He decided he needed to drink before he could have the sex talk. What came out pushed me so far in the closet. He told us that if he ever found out one of his sons was gay he would shoot them.
I was in my 30s when I finally told him I could no longer lie about who I was even if it meant there would be no relationship between us. He denied ever saying he would shoot me. My brother was there and confronted him with the truth. My dad did apologize for causing so much pain all those years. It took a lot of time but we now have a great relationship and my dad has been sober now for 20 years.
what a little bitch. “Beaten up.” Really? Really. He got slapped maybe 6 times. Slapped. Not to mention he was still able to run his prick mouth anyway. I got beaten up as a young person by my guardians and it had nothing to do with my sexuality, my guardians were just assholes and hit me with the nearest blunt object until I bruised and bled. I have no sympathy for this. He was being an antagonistic little shit. If your parents aren’t going to accept you then don’t press the issue. It’s pointless. Just shut your stupid trap and move the fuck on with your own life. Playing the victim is for entitled little cowards.
The Bible speaks about being beware of false teachings. This is a prime example.
The Bible does not teach that homosexuality is a sin. Those passages have been erroneously interpreted. Those passages are about idolatry. So, one of the problems here is false teachings.
PEOPLE,READ YOUR BIBLE,IT WILL SHOW YOU THAT ONLY JESUS IS THE DIVINITY.THE OLD TESTAMENT,IS JEWISH,JEWISH PROPHETS CONDEMING THE JEWISH PEOPLE,IT IS SAID BY CHRIST JESUS,”KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR THEY ARE GOOD,BUT I AM THE WAY AND THE LIGHT”,the disciples were all MORTAL,NOT DIVINE,they have guilt for letting jesus die ALONE,AND NOT ONE CAME TO HELP,OR PROCLAIM HIM AS DIVINE,NOT ONE,PETER HE SAID DENIED HIM THREE TIMES IN ONE DAY!,SO BUNK TO THEM,the old testament where gay is condemned also says,”IF YOU WORK ON THE SABBATH(SATURDAY),YOU SHALL BE EXECUTED,KILLED PEOPLE,PERIOD,LET’S DO THAT ONE!!,”if your child disgraces you,YOU CAN KILL THEM,YES,LET’S DO THAT,TALK ABOUT A POPULATION IMPLOSION,EVERY CHILD DISGRACES THEIR PARENTS AT LEAST ONE TIME!,onan, who masturbated,and “spilled his seed on the earth”,WAS KILLED,BY GOD???,there would be nobody left on earth,what human being hasn’t tossed off,thats some jewish law for procreation,for sure!,”YE SHALL HAVE SLAVES,OF EITHER SEX,AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT “”HEBREW”‘,YES,THE JEWS HAD SLAVES,THATS’ HOW SLAVERY WAS JUSTIFIED IN THIS WORLD FOLKS,IT’S IN THE ”OLD TESTAMENT”‘,the first book of GENESIS,CHAP 1,29-30,PROCLAIMS FROM GOD ALL MEAT,ALL FLESH, YE SHALL NOT EAT,GOD SAYS WE ARE TO EAT “”EVERY BEAST OF THE EARTH,FOWL,EVERYTHING OF THE AIR,THAT CREEPETH ON THE EARTH,I HAVE GIVEN “”EVERY GREEN HERB FOR MEAT,TO YOU IT SHALL BE FOR MEAT(ALL FLESH,DO NOT EAT),ARE WE ALL VEGETARIANS,NO?.so read it,only JESUS PAVES THE WAY,most fantastic is CHRISTIANS COMBINE THE JEW LAW,WITH THE NEW JESUS LAW,CANNOT EVER BE DONE, AND “ABORTION,AND MATRICIDE” ARE IN THE BIBLE, “”AND THE JEWS RIPPED THE BABYLONIAN BABIES FROM THEIR MOTHERS WOMB,SEE,””ABORTION,LEGAL,AND KILL MAMA TOO”,IN OLD TESTAMENT,RUBBISH,JUST JESUS KIDS,THE REST IS JUNK,OR RECYCLED DISCIPLE TALK
I thought he got beaten cause he was being a rude little bitch to his mother, not because he was gay. My parents would slap the shit out of me if I spoke to them that way too.
Ok where do these ppl live I would love to take their heads off their shoulders sorry ass fucks!
What does “Religious Family” have to do with it?
Yes, plenty of gay kids are treated poorly by “religious” families.
But plenty are treated well.
But plenty of gay kids, too, are treated poorly by non-religious families.
And plenty re treated well by them.
The designation does allow the perpetuation of hate based upon a convenient label. That’s all “religious” has to do with it. And that’s not good.
I was “with” the kind in empathy before he played the “basement” card. His tone and demeanor changed to aggressor. From there, he played the family’s intolerance for all it was worth … like a skilled musician, making the last several minutes of the video questionable. Had he chosen to leave when he was told too (yes, returning later for his possessions), it would have been a different story.
I believe we are made gay to test these so call faithful ones. What I just saw proves that this family failed their test, and I feel sorry for them.
Yes Donald, but words can do more damage then fists. like the so called mother said, “she knew from years on that her son was gay, and yet… guess even Tigers in the wild will eat there young………..
I would go through all of that for $100,000 dollars.
Redneck family.. wtf did he expect??? If you’re under age and not able to take care of ydourself. DON”T COME OUT OF THE CLOSET. That’s just commons sense.
Situations like that make me glad my family didnt react like that. Also a little off topic but so refreshing to see the pope saying he will officiatea gay wedding event at the Vatican. He says it’s not his place to judge them and wants to show ecceptance and love to everyone. Who even thought we would have a pope so loving to everyone that is the god I want to believe in.
they are all freaks. i feel bad for the dog.
gay is gay people are people god put us all here as one to be together as one big family but as you see families just can’t get alone gay straight,bi color there is something going to happen .An I will say this that family is not a family of The Lord they are the devils family if they look in the pass of there family they will find there is more gays there then they will ever no the U.S.A. is full of hate The daddy is out some were right now with his ass checks open so wide you can park a ship in an the other two are some were lapping each other
Nope…kid was clearly the aggressor. Family was by no means in the right, but I think he wanted that to happen. There are just too many things wrong with this whole scenario. I wouldn’t have given him a penny. The family should be ashamed, yes. But he should be ashamed too. And he should give back every penny he raised, he doesn’t deserve it.
I rarely post replies to this blog, but this one I feel the need to. What bullshit. You bring a camera to your conversation, then start a conversation you KNOW is going to be provoking? And I’m supposed to feel sorry that you got your ass kicked because you were running your mouth? Oh, so innocent! Um, no. Rule of thumb…you want to play the victim, you get treated like the victim. While sadly, there are many cases of people coming out that do get attacked, this is NOT one of those cases. This is some whiny guy trying to pick a fight he couldn’t win. Drama be thy name. No sympathy for him.
He got slapped around for talking back aggressively to his mother, not beaten up because he was gay. If you are crying over this, Dave you have yet to see real violence in the community.
Its obvious listening to the voices of his parents he lives in the “Bible Belt” of the US where religion takes precedence over understanding in generational changes that are occurring. It is also obvious that he is young and should have perhaps phrased his wording better and have been prepared for such a confrontation knowing the viewpoints of his parents. He seems to have known ahead of time their reaction otherwise he wouldn’t have taken the time to record a video. Either way it is a toxic environment and one that he needs to move away from – sometimes parents and children forgive each other as time moves on – but based on the dialogue it may take years if ever. Sad either way but changes don’t happen over night.
Religious people what do you expect. Sickening
Good example if it was real…don’t believe people are stupid enough to film this for real. If it is then you seriously need some mental guidance.
uhm, listen to his voice. no offense, but they didnt already know? really??
This is neither disturbing nor tear-worthy, it’s hilarious. The fact that he made money off of it is the disturbing part. He was mouthy and rude to his parents and got his face slapped for it. Hardly a beating.
And this is exactly why it’s nobody’s business but your own. Besides, how the hell could they not tell anyway!? Some things are just better left unsaid. Some of us enjoy privacy and don’t feel it necessary to publicly announce sexual exploits or preferences. It’s just unbecoming
