Wow… How Not To React When Your Child Tells You He’s Gay

by 506 Comments

FYI: Possibly disturbing
In the video you see/hear 20 year old Daniel Pierce’s family members telling him that his “choice” goes against the word of God, and that he is no longer welcome to live in their home. When he challenges them, his father and grandparents join in the harassment, yelling slurs at him and cursing at him. Eventually, the camera shakes and you can hear his family members physically beating him as he screams for them to stop.
#LGBT   #WTF  these people are not right in the head.
Huffpo interviewed him: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/28/family-son-coming-out-gay-video_n_5731462.html

  11. I am pretty damn sure if my kid told me he was gay two major things would run across my mind. 1 oh thank god he didn't knock up some bimbo. 2 what college education is he going to go for. As long as he is happy and healthy the rest can work itself out.

  12. Good thing he has this on video so he can prove what they are like. I hope he charges his fucking cunt of a mother with asault and never EVER goes back to that house again. Religious people who think this is ok… FUCK YOU and if there is such a place as hell that's where you are headed. 

  13. I hate to say this but  Not only horrible parents, but also from the sudden mood swings, the paranoia, the way they came at the son like that.. they're  very unstable people.  Possibly dangerous.  I hate having to say it, but normal people just don't act that way… the parents need to be institutionalized…  honestly! 

    The Parents – Very dangerous people!

  15. This is just sad. Mom has a point that his Dad has given him food, shelter and care all his life. So they're kind of expecting some respect in return. But they're expecting too much by changing their son into something he's not. It's just too much. We all have our free will. If his parents doesn't understand what free will is, they should go back reading the bible and understand it by heart. Not by using it only to judge and justify what they deem wrong.

  17. Im christian and I believe what I just saw and heard isn't what we should be doing, we are to not hurt or harm the ones that are born that way, or choose to be, we are to love them the same way, and even if its a sin. We all sin and we are not all born perfect, we are born unique and different. So the way those fellow people acted thats not your choice, it for them to figure out and God will be there with them. Kicking your child out of harming them in anyway is not what God wants, its to (love the person not the sin)

    For all who are this way, I got your back..just not the sin, also sorry for actions that were made, we all cant handle something like that. But for me I LOVE YOU AND EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU, I just dont like the sin, but I love you

  24. Pray for them instead ! Obviously  do as Jesus said to the adulterous woman "After" he saved her from Stoning. He told her to Sin No More. the same thing applies here..

  30. If my son told me he was gay, I'd tell him 'That's nice, so do you have a boyfriend? Want to invite him over for supper so I can meet him?' 

  31. Wow this is shocking . Im a Christian and the word of God tells you to love everyone. These parents are a "disgrace" if they think their son is against God . It hurts my heart to see the Christian beliefs turned into such hatred . I pray for that family . Hatred and anger aren't what it says in the bible and whoever believes that didn't read it right . God loves everyone and I hope that ignorance is done away with in this family and in this world.

  36. I'm a Christian, I do not condone homosexuality. However, that's between the person and Christ. All of us will be judged according to our deeds in this life. But judgemental beatings? Uhhhh, on judgement day, I would hate to be that family. I'm pretty sure the Lord will hold them accountable for their wretched unspeakable behavior. I didn't bother to watch the clip. Which by the way, shouldn't have been recorded let alone being posted for all to see. We're all out of control… All of us.

  39. I didn't give a shit when my nephew told me. I gave him a hug and a high five. He was six when he told everyone, and he's stood firm since… Now he's 14.

  45. Good parents expect their boys to get good education, good job and make a family, continue own kind and not to suck other dude's dick. It is just sick and disgusting.

  47. You guys are ridiculous he's 20 years old wtf is he doing living at his parents lmao fucking loser haha ya his parents are dicks and act like Christians but aren't very good ones and dont love everyone obviously . They are just stupid all the bitch had to say is son your 20 years old it's time to move out of the house I've already kept you 2 years longer than most parents so your welcome dumbasses lol

  49. All I can say is Gay or not GOD loves him and when someone believes in god or Jesus they should show love and not hate God is love not hate. The ones disowning him and yelling are wrong. I hope Daniel knows God loves him.

  51. While I think the family's response was pretty hateful, I also do think he was egging them on. I have no clue what the Facebook deal was about, but that's what got them hitting him. He apparently posted something about his father on Facebook, calling him a racist to the world. Still, they told him they were kicking him out because he was gay, which is cruel, especially after the mother admitted she had known he was gay since he was very little. That's the first time I've ever heard a Christian mother admit that. How could he be gay when he was little? I grew up in an abusive home, so I've never called my mother a bitch, because I knew the results would not be good and we didn't have tiny video cameras back then. I also must admit that I have some strange sexual fetishes, but my parents know nothing about those.

  54. That's when you take your things and walk away from your parents house. If you did everything you could do to raise a child, how could you now not love what you've created and nurtured? Ajjj

  61. To all of you who claim to be a follower of Christ. I mean those of you who believe that the word of God is the law, not atheist, witches, satanist or any religion that condoms homosexuality need not to reply because I already know your answer. Too those who claim yo be Christians tell me why this video is wrong.

  65. You known films something like that? A Drama queen. Gay or not, I don't have room for people like that in my life. I have plenty of gay people in my life. It's usually the straight ones that get cut out of my life for constantly stirring up shit. This video went exactly the way he wanted it to. To me, that's the most disturbing part.

  66. Very disturbing oh my gosh
    This never happen to me tank god .don't understand humans how can you hate somebody that you bring to the world nobody ask to be born and be treated like that

  73. It's that way within my culture too. I posted a video that pokes fun at this very serious subject. It so matters how our parents and family respond. People are afraid to accept that which they cannot explain. I stopped the video right where she says we won't support you…we don't want people to think we condone…."We" as in this generation also need to understand their mentality and how much they rely on the "word of god" to guide them through life. I was disowned by my family for marrying outside my race. We have been blessed to be raised during a time of such liberation and freedom of expression –though we have a long way to go. Lean on those that support you and let go if those who don't so you can be free of their negative energy.

  74. +James Bentley excellent point, its the people not the stereotype .However it is no way to treat a family member,  I believe these people were also treated similarly by their own parents. End the cycle- no more religion- no more hate- just end it , do not teach your children to act like this and 30 years from now this type of prejudice will be extinct. This is the awakening in its beginning stages. And it has NOTHING to do with god. It is up to us, as people to change/ forgive / love / accept.. not an outer force. Rehabilitation through love saturation -globally. Thats it ..simple love

  79. When I told my mom I was gay she said the wisest and most tolerant thing I have ever heard, she said "you're my son and I love you no matter what but I cannot condone that lifestyle." For years after she continued to love me like she always had, unconditionally, but she never allowed her love for me to sway her conscience. I respect that.

    Mom died a few years ago but not until she saw the gay lifestyle practically kill me and take me to the very edge of insanity. When I came to mom for love and comfort at my lowest point she did what she promised, she loved me no matter what. This is how a Christian should respond to homosexuality.

    It wasn't until after she died that I began to wonder why such a noble and loving person couldn't and wouldn't condone the gay lifestyle of a son she loved so much. What I discovered was truly life changing.

    If you are gay and have begun to realize it leads nowhere and you feel a deep sense of lack….I have something I want to tell you…

    If you are Christian and respond to homosexuality like in this video…prepare to be "sifted like wheat."

    Good Day!

  84. Ahem. This is a song in tune with "happy and you know it"
    If you're Christian and you know it calm down (calming down)
    If youre Christian and you know it calm down (calming down)
    If youre Christian then you know that your ways are changing. Of you are Christian and you know calm down.

    NEXT VERSE!!!!!

    If ya think gay is wrong then you're gay!
    😀
    If ya think gay is wrong then you're gay!
    If the world would shut up then id be a lot more fun. Cuz gay marrige is legal by law!
    Clap clap!

    Now that I've won this aurguement. Stfu Internet. You are wasting your time with stupid comment battles. No matter what you lose because odds are you are not gonna change sh!t about the person and you die even quicker.

  86. Makes me sick just think how they treat people who are not in there family who my be gay. I hope the boy is safe now and if he is reading this your not a descrace those people are

  88. God made you and he love you the way you are go tree life and be a proud human being you committed no crime by being gay it is not will you was created this way. From GrandMa

  89. Bravo to you ROBERT REYNOLDS a commitment is made when you have a child and that is to love them UNCONDITIONALLY, OTHERWISE DON'T BREED !!!

  90. They are Not God Fearing People ..The Bible does say in 1 corinthians6:9,10
    9  Or do you not know that unrighteous people will not inherit God’s Kingdom?+ Do not be misled.* Those who are sexually immoral,+ idolaters,+ adulterers,+ men who submit to homosexual acts,+ men who practice homosexuality,+ 10  thieves, greedy people,+ drunkards,+ revilers,* and extortioners will not inherit God’s Kingdom.+

    True Christians do not curse or beat there children..
    They sit there child down and try to reason with him using the bible and reading to him what the Bible says..if the child refuses to adhere bible counsel and  he is old enough to move out of the home..then yes you allow him to move out in order to maintain the peace in the home..but you continue to teach him bible principles and put it into prayer that he may mend the errors of his ways and return to biblical principles and standards.

  98. *In the inner City sit that 13-14 years old and reason an-you are libel to get a 9 mm in your face before you die!*
    *I taught that age for 36 years!

  99. I'm sorry but it's evolution. People who are born gay wernt ment to breed. And that's ok. Enoph 12 year olds giving up babies for everyone to have a family. And ps. 72%of the world do not believe In God…. Just saying.

  101. Well as a Christian and as a pastor I'll say this…The spirit of homosexuality is demonic in nature and the Bible says it's an abomination. The Bible also says that parents are supposed to raise their children in the ways of God. The problem with most non Christians is that they think they can be an expert on religion and who God is without taking the time to study what the Bible says. So there opinions are just that. You couldn't have an intelegant conversation with a botanist without studying botany and expect to name any valid points out be taken seriously. The problem with most Christians us that they think going to church makes them a Christian. As if sleeping in a garage would make you a car. If Christians took the word of God seriously then the children would be raised differently. A Christian parent should absolutely not let a homosexual child live in there home anymore than they should let a murderer or a drunkard or a thief. (1 Cor 6 classifies them the same) We are all sinners but God breaks the power of sin and the spirit filled Christian will be convicted of sin and repent. They can't continue in a lifestyle of habitual sin. They may struggle with certain things but there will be a fight, not a willful submission to it. The church is in sad shape. The parents should have confronted long ago. If he's been gay since he was a little boy it happened on there watch, somehow that spirit took him over.

  106. I don't think he handed that very well! He knew what he was in for and should have done this another way. Why poke a box of venomous snakes so that they bite you. Yes, they are horrible people who obviously don't know any better. He should have just left and gone on to a successful life without that dramatic episode!

  108.   i hate when people say they are so religious and yet they kick their son out for being himself and for being honest with them. I mean if you were really religious you would love and support your kid no matter what. God loves everyone UNconditionally I mean they sin every day and yet he's the one that's punished. Unbelievable

  109. Did his Mom really say that she would support him but doesn't want people to think she supports her gay son?! Disgusting. If there was a god, and he had just half the compassion Christians claim, he sure wouldn't let parents be like this. Ever! UNCONSCIONABLE!!!!

  110. While I may not know anything about these people, I can say that as a mother, I could give a flying fuck what people think if either of my sons came out as gay later on in life. It's Family and God before anyone else. Those people are stupid. I hope things work out for this guy, PROUD SUPPORTER

  111. +joshua goard IF there is a god then I refuse to believe he/she/it is such a miserable vindictive bastard.  If you "believe" that homosexuality is "a choice" because of the bible – a book written over time by MEN – then I pity you for your lack of understanding.  Just do the rest of us a favor and don't breed.

  118. If you're gay then so what? It doesn't mattter. My brother came out to me when he was 14. My reaction to "I'm gay" , I laughed. Now I know that sounds bad he then said "did you not hear me I like men" at which I laughed harder and replied " I don't care if you are gay, straight or what ever, you're my brother and that's all that matters". If your family can't support you then you will find someone who will. All I can say is be what you are and most of all enjoy what your body tells you you should be.

  119. Terrible. Terrible. You don't "become" gay, or "choose" to be gay; you are born gay, in (according to studies) 5-10% of the all humans that are born. It's a perfectly natural thing, with documented gay behavior in over 1,500 species.

    If my child told me he/she is gay, and that makes him/her happy, I'd just be happy for my child's happiness. What more could you want as a parent?

  120. Well, I just saw a room full of adults who never deserved a child. I have four children and there is nothing they could do to make me disown them. I pray this young man is ok and knows his family is sick. God bless him!

  122. This is obviously not about being gay, its about bringing "shame" to the family.  The son is openly gay and the father is mad that he has posted things on facebook which his religious/conservative friends will see. They don't live in a place where being gay is acceptable so they are angry that he has brought dishonor to them.  They have to face these people in church!  This is very similar to the Islamic families that stone their daughters for being raped.  Its odd that no one else has noted this in this thread. 

  125. Well I hope he happy in hell cause he ain't goin no where else I don't have a problem with gays but if I found my son or daughter if I have any in the future they will not come back ta my house ever again she or he would not b my child till they change their ways it's a sin can't do nothin about it

  126. lol a choice?!!!! So its a choice to be a Smoker ( in the first 6 weeks of once's life) for the rest of their lifes? You made a "Choice", a  really bad one. Damn right I'll slap my kid way before " the first 6 weeks".

  128. That's messed up if my kid told me he or she was gay I'd say ok it's ur choice I'm fine with it now if he or she said I'm gonna quit school and move in with a person that I hate than that a different story… but at the part where his mom an dad started to do whatever they where doing now I've seen it before and I don't think that anyone should do it to another person but I can't stop it and nether can anyone else so all I can say is ur gay as long as u r happy that's all u need to care bout!:) don't let other people bring u down:)

  135. Unconditional love doesn't mean unconditional acceptance. As a Christian, I don't approve of the homosexual lifestyle, but I don't hate homosexuals.

  142. Ah!! There born that way,my aunt is gay her brother is to came from same father God made them now, what Love them and if your child's gay you're going too stop love him or her REALLY

  144. It is very HURTFULL how people can not except reality. Gay people kill themselves because of parents and fear , or simply being bullied. Shamefull. People need to grow up. PEOPLE ARE BORN GAY . IT IS NOT A CHOICE.

  147. See why I hate Christians? They take "the word of God" to an extent in which they stunt technological development and research, protest against anything complicated, unworldly, or simply contradictory to the Bible, and blindly defend there millenniums-old book that is slowly being disproved at a constant rate. I know not all Christians are this way, but most of them are brainwashed and intolerant towards the truth.

  155. It's so sad that so many people are that insecure about themselves and their faith that they have to physically and verbally abuse others different than them.

  157. Daniel stick up for yourself   and  your mother and father are morons you don't need them. they don't deserve have their God as the call it is just imaginary  stupid people like that SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED to breed . and not i'm not gay readers.

  161. +Kevin Dorrego You are correct. These people should be excommunicated from their church. God will deal with these people in His time. This is utter evil! I don't condone Homosexuality but they are people non the less. I hang out with some gays and all I tell them is not to make a pass at me. I will not tolerate it. After that things are cool. Treat them as you would have them treat you! These people probably got their teaching from Phelps.

  162. Did anyone here notice that he is 20 years old living in his PARENTS house ?? In anyone's home you follow THEIR rules or go !!! You can't force anyone, even family, to accept you or your lifestyle especially where THEY pay the bills !!! The only thing I don't agree with is the name calling or attack. Child support payments and laws stop at 18 she just asked him to move out no harm in that.

  163. People kill themselves because they can't live with themselves and for no other reason.  It's the ultimate expression of self loathing coupled with self pity.  What's hurtful is people who facilitate this behavior by allowing them to temporarily feel it's someone else's fault…thereby allowing them have the elusion of escaping responsibility for their own actions.  Own your actions…

  167. If you choose religion over your own family/love you are scum. Pure and simple. You're no better than a religious zealot who kills because God told him to. What does it really matter if your kids are gay? You'll die alone and they won't respect you anymore

  170. No offense to gay people but if someone told me they were gay I'd say “go sit in the corner and think about your life" and then disappear like a ninja while they weren't looking

  172. Look The word of God condemns homosexuality and that is an proven fact, so you can say God is love all you want. In the video the mother was cool headed and told her where she stood with her son lifestyle choice. But as the son began to mouth off the father just lost his cool because of his disappointment and embarrassment reached his quick fuse temper limit and began to assault his son. The assault part I don't agree with it and it was not necessary but I agree with parents decision to kick him out because as Christians we don't condone homosexuality.

  173. people are so quick to bring up the word, but fail to mention it also says thou shall not judge. and whn is all said and done no one on this earth has to answer to me/u/mom/dad & whoever else has an opinion…so in the mean time I will love my neighbor not practice hate.

  174. Smh gods loves everyone ! This world is going to hell in a handbasket …. how sad to treat your child like this for any reason . Seems like all the worried about is how they look to others shameless behavior .and what a horrible example for parents to set .

  175. I have a friend who is gay he has told his parents there very religious and they sent him to bible camp and he told them it fixed him so they would not bother him

  178. GOD has made every human.the qualities distinguish one from male and female.we are no one to change ourselves.i think people are more going towards gay because of  bad social gatherings which is totally bad.but its our responsibility the we should   treat them kindly,and should try to change them.

  181. Fornication is a sin whether it's with a man or a woman SO how many of us are sinners???? Why does it ALWAYS have to point at homosexuality. Any sex out of marriage is a sin. This obsession with making gays these horrible sinners is REALLY annoying!!!!!!! All sins are the same in the eyes of GOD!

  187. Confused parents vs a confused kid. Theyre both in the wrong, God's laws on love and His laws on morality never change regardless of how enlightened about either people think they are!! People that beat on their kids in anger are just as wrong as people who disregard God's design for men and women and live in sin that He hates.

    It's the Christian's calling to help bring them back, not push them away into a world bound for hell.
    God wants you back, people!

  189. +Shadows Moon what are you talking about God destroyed the people of prophet lot because they practiced homosexuality God doesn't love gays plus people are not born that way if so why would god destroy them you are a christian don't sugar cote your religion say it exactly the way it is.

  190. At the end of the day we are here to pass our genes on you know DNA I don't see how's that's possible with 2 men or 2 women and if children ain't made out of love then why have them now there subjected to whatever it is you believe in your head is exceptable !

  191. If the "word of God" means disowning your gay family member, degrading and beating the crap outta him, is the only way, that you'll get into the pearly grates. I'd rather go to hell. because being surround by ignorant, hateful people, like them, sounds like the true hell to me. That Daniel guy, is better off without them

  196. Religion is slavery through mind control. 

    Think about it. 

    Think about the concept of "religious authority", this includes Priests, Ministers, Mullahs, Imams, Rabbis, and all those who wear "the cloth".  

    They tell you what to think, and how to think about it. Then – even more forcefully – they tell you what you must NOT think, or even think ABOUT, and who you MUST NOT to talk to, EVER. 
    Do you know what all this means? 

    It means that there are people who believe that they are much smarter than you and they are controlling you.

    What gives them the right to do this? Are they better than you? Are they smarter? No. they are just ordinary people like you. Not different, just greedy, lazy, and corrupt.

    Religion has persisted for centuries in large part because it's always been propped up by both 'kings' and 'priests'. They work in conjunction to keep the peasants (you) docile, obedient, ignorant, and productive. They apparently want you to abandon any sort of ambition you might have to improve your own lot in this life and replace it with the promise of a wonderful, and entirely fictional, afterlife.
     
    They also manipulate you with fear and guilt.

    It's called "Original sin". 

    This, they say, you are born with. And somehow it can only be 'cured' through their particular doctrine.

    They are selling you an imaginary cure for a disease that they invented. 

    It's a scam. 

  197. +Melinda Moore Asking is one thing. But violence whether verbal or physical is assault causing harm. There are many people today who cannot afford to live alone away from home. It seems to me the real issue is that he was gay and living at home. I may be wrong in my assessment but then he should not have dragged it on by continually saying he didn't choose his condition. He should have just said okay I will move out and there would be no further contact with them at all. He should have excommunicated them.

  198. When are ignorant people who claim to be Christian going to start living in the real world and read their Holy Bible? Jesus clearly tells His followers to love the sinner and hate the sin! Start by reading the book of Matthew, focus on The Beattitudes, and study how Jesus responds towards the woman who was caught in adultery.
    It is God's job to judge humanity. We have no business hating God's creation. While there are supposed to be reasonable limits regarding people who behave contrary to God's Law, there is such a thing as Mercy and Grace.

    There was a time in my life when I wanted to be a minister. Because of the two-face attitudes of some Christians I used to know, I"be chosen a different path and no longer want the responsibility.

  202. Don't be quick to judge people. Because God is the one and only true judge. People need to learn I respect one another even if something is wrong with them physically or mentally.

  204. If the "word of God" means disowning your gay family member, degrading and beating the crap outta him, is the only way, that you'll get into the pearly grates. I'd rather go to hell. because being surrounded by ignorant, hateful people, like them, sounds like the true hell to me. That Daniel guy, is better off without them

  205. I am just really sad this child has parents have treated him like this. I hurt for him having to deal with the issue then the parents reaction being not what he expected I am sure. People just want love and not to be judged for their decisions. I dont know but I cannot change anyone and yes lets not judge, GOD HAS COMMANDED US TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER11111

  209. Let the boy live his life as a mother who lost her child by a murder I would embrace my child no matter what life is to short you never know what could happen please except your son for who he is

  212. These are fake Christians! True Christians would be loving of the person but not the sin, anyways God gave freedom of choice to every human being to choose between good and evil, and besides no human being is perfect we all are sinners we all have sinned, I can't stand the people that pretend they have never sinned, seriously they need a reality check

  214. People who don't except homosexuality aren't ignorant they are just correct ! It's like someone telling you that you are going down a one way and you choose to turn around and go the opposite not caring who you hurt in the long run

  217. Religion is mass delusion. you are the universes own self awareness on a pin point perspective. God is not hate God is love. The drive of procreation by opinionated framework is only in place to keep u inline, fumbling into the future with only one reality as true. Good people without religion do good. bad people without religion do bad, But bad people with religion do bad. But good people with religion are capable of horrible misguided things. U are God. ..and Satan. Know that u are the balance

  219. So what, their exercising their parental responsibility as they see it.
    Obama is Bi-sexual (supposedly) so doubling his chances in looking for mr good bar.
    For me anything todays sold out governments in the West tell you is alright is almost positively all wrong.

  221. Same sex relationships are against God's word, but those who chose to judge him are as guilty of sin as he is and God sees all sins equally. No one sin is greater than any other and we will all stand before the lamb on judgment day and be held accountable or thrown into the fiery pit called Hell

  223. This is by far the worst f**** video and disgusting people I cannot believe not only did they put him down they hit him physically this is by Celeste not Shayne

  228. i don't think beating someone is right. no matter who you are. i'm christian and if my child said they were gay, bi, whatever, i most likely wouldn't care all that much. besides i have read the bible and have never come across anything that says being gay is wrong. mostly i think it's just pastor talk.

  229. We are allow to make righteous judgement according to scriptures so I dont know where You all get this philosophy of we cant judge. If You say youre Christian then the bible is your guideline of how you should conduct yourself. So if you're not a christian well this should not bother you but it seems it does. People act like we Christians suppose to be door mats and compromise our position just because you people don't agree.

  235. It's painful just hearing about it. I don't understand any parent's inability to accept their children for who they are. Anyways doesn't the bible teach not to judge others.

  236. +Raymond Rodgers that's not true Islam religion call upon everyone to open there minds and reflect upon the creation and think. Islam calls people to worship ALLAH alone with out any partners. Do your research on Islam then comment read the Quran book of Islam and you'll see that it can't be inspired by anyone other then ALLAH the Quran is the evidence that Islam is the truth I challenge anyone to find even one contradiction in the Quran you'll never find any because in the Quran ALLAH said "Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an? If it had been from [any] other than Allah , they would have found within it much contradiction"

  237. I have 3 daughters and a son and if anyone of them told me they were gay I would not ever treat them like this if there truely is a God he will either love them or curse them when their time comes to meet the God I am a mere mortal and it's not my place to judge them but it is my place to love them as their mother…………………………. just sayin

  240. If his family could remember the overwhelming love they felt when he was born instead of working about how others might view them! Our younger generation might have a better chance if being better than their parents!!!!

  242. +Gracy Redmon no people r not born that way they choose ta b that way like said if my kids turned out ta b gay they can kiss daddy n mama goodbye cause yer hittin the road if my son/daughter says daddy I grow weed fer alivein then I'd say ok that's yer choice or daddy I make meth fer alivein ok that's yer choice but y'all better not use it or daddy I make moonshine fer alivein ok great bring some ta yer pops every now n then but if let's say I had a kid that's 15 or 17 he/she came up ta me said daddy I'm gay I'd say who the Hell r ya yer not my kid sorry I was raised ta kno if I smoked or chewed I b beatin I teach my kids y'all turn gay yer gonna b out on yer own b fer y'all can say but dad y'all cross a line when y'all say yer gay just like my parents would say I crossed a line when I say I smoke I'm a christian but I just can't fergive ya fer that I'm sorry

  244. +Juan Colon Except, though, that is exactly what seems to happen. Recent research (Blanchard et al.) seems to indicate that the same set of genetic variations that cause homosexuality in some people, cause increased fertility in others, typically their siblings. Thus, this set of genetic variations remains in the gene pool.

    Given that homosexuality has been found in more than 1,500 species, with latest common ancestors dating back hundreds of millions of years, there is little reason to assume that homosexuality has not been around for at least that long, nor that it will disappear any time soon.

    Think of it this way: If you are heterosexual, and want to have children with your partner, you should almost be thankful if you have a gay brother or sister; statistically, that means you are more fertile.

  245. +Ben Hechter – Fuck off with your "Jesus loves you" bullshit… seriously. Do you know how condescending you sound when you say stuff like that? Or the people that go around saying "I will pray for you".  Its like saying that you are better than that person in some way… but the reality is that very rarely do people like that do anything to help anyone else. The only thing that helps people in this world is to actually help them, not pray for them. I could pray my ass off for someone and they would still not get the help they need. If I actually take some action and go and do something for that person then maybe they will. Religion today is against Science, its against evolving and becoming something better as a race rather than continuing in this horribly shaming and hate filled belief system that codons exactly what you just watched in this video. A young man, who has every right to do whatever the fuck he wants with his life is abused by his own family and then made to feel bad because he has no "gratitude" for being raised by a bunch of bigots running around claiming they know about God. This is what your God is about, and waging wars on other less fortunate cultures. Go back in history and see how much awesomeness Catholics or Christians have brought to this world. You're a bunch of flat earth thinking inbred baboons! Go find another planet and destroy it in the name of God since you have the right to do whatever the hell you want to anything that God put here for you to use and abuse. Its sick and I am tired of hearing you snivel about how bad other people are for not following the "word of God"… just look at what a disgrace you all are to the rest of the human race. Pathetic!

  248. The description was enough. May I say to the Christian religions that I know, the Seventh day Adventist and First free "churches"
    Shut up. You are a distraction from the Creator.
    your message to gays and bi people is that they must renounce that part of their sexuality.
    I was a successful well paid pastor of a world wide christian denomination. In good standing I walked away, and not because my sexual preference didn't fit.
    Because I Am a Son of JAH and I love is His Firstborn, Jesus in whom is my salvation and I believe the Scriptures- I can not be called a Christian.

  250. By God You made a choice…..LOL….Now I think if your bi sexual its kinda a choice…or if your trysexual  (try anything at least twice) then maybe its a choice…but if your gay your gay…not really a choice there…dont come out while living in your parents home unless your sure they are not homophobes…

  252. I have three young kids I wonder all the time how I would react to this what I tell myself what I would tell any parent is speak your peace with your child agree(condone) disagree (don't condone) let them know they have your support no matter what. In my case I would then tell the child that it is a sin in God's eyes but I am not your judge our father in heaven is.
    D&C 64: 10-11 I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men.
    And ought to say in your hearts-let God judge between me and thee and reward thee according to thy deeds.

  255. +Rebel Son Fuck off, dumbass. No one asked for your input. You're no different from the people in this video. The fact that you're advocating these parents' behavior tells me that you care more about your religious views than your relatives, just like the people in this video. The similarities are uncanny, my friend!

  256. +Sammy the Saiyan no one asked for anyone's input here not mine or yours but we all have a right to speak don't we? Perhaps you should respect the differences in opinion and save the cuss words for the play ground I'm sure that kind of talk impresses the kids there..

  258. Truly pathetic. That is your child. You said yourself that you knew he was gay since he was a little boy. Do you honestly think a small child has the maturity and intellect to "choose" to be gay? You are so concerned with what others will think that you are willing to go the lengths that you did and lose a child that you made and carried inside you and is apart of you? The only thing embarrassing about this video is your family's reaction. That is truly what you should be ashamed of. If you were truly living by God's word, you wouldn't judge him. You would accept him as you are supposed to of ALL GOD'S CHILDREN. FOR ALL OF YOU TO JUMP HIM AND tell him basically that he isn't worth shit by "choosing" to he gay, makes you look like you aren't shit. You don't have to agree with what your children do or how they live but as parents and family, you should love them and support your children as long as they are not committing crimes, or physically hurting another person. It really is sad but honestly, he seemed as if he was the only normal one and he probably would be better off not having family such as yours appears to be

  265. I am a christian and do not believe what these people believe.The bible teaches love one another and my Gods word teaches love one another and not to hate.Judge not and you will not be judged.Let those with out sin cast the first stone.

  269. This is taking Homophobia to another level,the boy would be best leaving because when religion is involved with Homosexuality,all logic goes out the window.If we look at past history,and see how many priests are under prosecution for boy sexual abuse ,both in their parish and the Vatican,then you will see how hypercritical many religious people are.

  272. Sexual orientation is not a choice. It is a biological dictate. And this whole word of god bullshit just makes it worse. If your religion incites you to evil acts then it is not a religion of love or tolerance it is evil too.

    Who does homosexuality harm? Who is physically, economically or psychologically traumatised by what consenting adults do? If you are threatened by homosexuality that is your problem, your sickness, not theirs.

    When your imaginary friend tells you to hurt somone who has not done you any harm DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM!

  273. I can't believe a parent would treat their child like that. …and we're surprised when children commit suicide. ..it's because of small minded people that our society can't evolve. …guess what redneck parents God loves all his children! !!

  276. I love how these type of "Christians" always pick and choose which of gods words to acknowledge and follow, all the while twisting them to their own benefit. If you are one of the morons talking about "hating" homosexuals, and think YOU need to personally judge and condemn someone for what is in their life… there will be a special place in hell for you. Enjoy it.

  277. No, you are not a disgrace and your father has not done everything for you!  The most important thing he should have done, was be there for you and love you for who you are.  There are people in the world that will love and take care of you.  I think you are very brave, for having the courage to tell your family and hopefully one day they will realize it is not a choice.

  281. francisco, how dare you judge?  you are the most stupid fuck…….God LOVES and accepts all of His creations….you are not God, so shut your mouth and think before you judge, the parents should be put away, how can any mother or father do that to their son…..the world is full of ignorant people……

  282. Why do you all want to be so powerless? There are some parts of myself that I don't like, but I would rather die than say it wasn't my choice, because then I know I'm the one with the power to start AND stop it if I choose. You're giving away every bit of your inner power by saying you have no choice.

  284. I am not religious. Although I do believe in nature. There exists no animal species that exist through homosexuality, nor has there ever been. The only way to ensure a species survives is for the sexes to merge. It is a fact among every member of the animal kingdom, including humans. This is my argument for heterosexuality. 

  287. The duty of any parent is to feed and put a roof over their child's head, after all it was their choice to have them! Also after spending those years bringing up a child why should it be necessary to have to tell them you are gay, any good parent with ears and eyes should be aware of their child's character. If people want to train their children to be exactly what they want, maybe they should stick to a pet dog.

  289. +Jamblik Bartlowitz did you choose to be not gay? Were you there checking out the boys and girls in class and then think to yourself "screw it I'll stick with the girls"?

    I'm goong to guess no. Brcause it isn't a choice.

    You do choose to be an intolerant dick though. That is a choice.

  291. god says it is not natural no one is born gay this new on this planet go anywhere on this earth where man and woman respect and fear god you can t find this reaction go the africa the mother land of this earth you wont find one man following another to the bush god let satan and his children rule he has not ruled with rigthiousness he a man think so is he or she i dont hate people i just love the truth

  293. Judging Others:
    “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

    I understand the family being upset but not kicking him out or beating him and such…. The family will not be judged for his sins… My firm believe is : If you don't like gay or lesbian relationships then don't have one but don't judge others that do have them because it's not your business…. If my daughter told me she was lesbian or bi
    -sexual I would tell her that being of such is not the way the Lord planned and I'd pray that the Lord would guide her in the right path… But I'm not going to scream, curse, or beat and kick out and disown her…. Just Saying!…

  295. Deano, not to be a jerk, but dolphins, dogs, apes, and several other species have documented cases of homosexuality. Get your facts straight.

  297. There are many things that God calls an abomination. The bible also talks about woman with woman, man with beast, woman with beast and many other abominable things. If people want to live that kind of a life, then get on with it, you don't need anyones permission or agreement, do as you see fit. Don't expect me to agree with you though, you don't need anyone's permission. Go make your own life. The way you want to live it. You cannot twist the word to suit your belief, it does not work that way. No one has a right to lay hands on another, I would have asked him to leave and yet strangely I would still have loved him, that does not mean I would accept everything that came out of his mouth. His life his choice, not under my roof though.
    Love is not blindly allowing anyone to do anything they feel like doing. I would say to all of you that claim god has no issues with gays, lesbians. Bi or any other buzz term you care to think of, repent and turn from your wicked ways, the bible even proclaims that god has given the people that do those things a reprobate mind, so they can enjoy what they do, because come the judgement you are gonna be swimming in a lake of fire, along with many other people that do not repent from living how they live.
    I as a man have no power over anyone, and I would not want it, if you honestly believe you are that way, go live the life you want to live, stop trying to force people to agree with you though, I don't care if you have an opinion about me being married to a woman. And I didn't ask for out require your agreement or permission, simply put our paths will never cross and you have as much right as anyone else to live however you like.
    I have no opinion about you being gay, but if you claim to be made by god that way, that is clearly wrong.
    For those people here that are claiming we were made in the image of God, Adam was made in the image and likeness, they were made, we came through a womb. The part made like god is the spirit, god is a spirit you know, not a man, that he should lie.

  300. omfg!?!?? Seriously???? What happened to loving ur childrens happiness,?, and even then, regardless of the subject, what happened to parents to love being unconditional.??? Damn… Imagine their surprise when the see their Judge on Judgement day…smh

  302. These people are not God's people!!!!!! They are a disgrace to God and humans!!!!!! They are going to hell!!! Where they belong!!!! I feel so bad for this man. Keep your head up God's true people care and are there for you. I wish you the best and all the happiness in your life!!!

  305. If they're going to give him hate for his homosexuality, then they should also hate the step-mother and his father, because divorce is against Christian values as well. Sin is sin, no matter what the sin, so if you see it as a sin, then know that it is no worse than the little white lies you tell, like Santa Clause, etc. If you realize how many Old Testament laws we don't follow anymore, which is where the subject of homosexuality is discussed, in Leviticus and Deuteronomy, then you would see, that those hicks in this video break just as many Old Testament laws as a homosexual person does, such as: eating BACON! I look to he teachings of Jesus, where it is written in the New Testament, to love God before anything else, and to love your neighbor as yourself! Christians! Show the LOVE of God! Don't pick out ways to hate! Heterosexual and homosexual alike, GOD LOVES YOU! And so do I!

  310. Well said Ed it's not the person we are upset with it's the sin we hate. We all make terrible choices in life. But if you ever doubt what you are….stand in front of a mirror naked….that's what you are….thats what God made you period. God didn't make a mistake when He made us all.

  313. Never disrespect your parents, he should have walked away, love who u love in your own home on your own time, wish him the best in life

  317. +Stacey King by Jesus's own words he did not come to do away with the law and prophets, take your twisted Christian theology and keep applying it and bastardising the scripture and making it fit what you want it to fit, you do know that in doing so, you break one of the foundational principles in scripture, those that understand these principals really see how silly the things some people say are.
    The bible is a very specific account, you can't turn it into what you want it to be.

  319. If someone told me about it, I wouldn't believe it. I'm in shock!
    It's so sad.

    God is with you young man. ☺

    I hope that very soon they apologize what your family has done to you.

  323. It's a sad world, but unfortunately,there are many parents out there like this. I agree with the son, he never made a choice, I also respect the mothers views that she cannot accept her child as he is under her roof, we all expect and hope for great things. However we need to change things we can, accept the things we can't and yes hopefully have wisdom to accept know the difference.
    Life is tough on everyone, for many reasons. We should not judge either of these people.
    The thing I would worry about is it being filmed and put on air in the first place. I think society revels in this scenario, where people discuss issues, problems and heartache for the world to see.
    I don't get this

  324. It has been scientifically that people who are religious lie more than people that are not, it's also been proven that they can't except, understand or deal with truth. You are what you are being gay is not a life choice
    Its totally normal for boys and girls to go through a period in puberty of fancying someone of their own sex, For some it means that they turn anti gay just to prove to themselves that they are not.
    This poor kid his parents sound like real good Christians, two faced Aholes. I wish him a good and successful life away from those freaks

  327. +Shadows Moon It's only a sin if you believe you f……  sanctimonious twat!!!!!!  arrrggggghhhhhhhh   believers like you make me so mad. There are so many things that are just plain wrong about your post – I can't even begin to list them here.

  334. This is terrible. I hope that young man knows he's better off without them. I hate the fact that we are balls deep in deluded religious retards.

  335. Parents will be parents. When u r brought up with certain religious concepts it is difficult to accept, unless they are made to understand that it is a biological thing. Don't u all agree that it is against the laws of nature.

  337. It is actually a positive thing that homosexuals no longer have to hide and cover up their true nature by marrying and having kids. It is a wonderful thing they will not be able to pass on their poor genes and terrible character traits to their children. Homosexuality is nature's way of ensuring the unnecessary surplus will no longer pollute the gene pool.

  338. +Sunita George NO!! I do not agree with that at all….people who want to force their world view on others in any way, in my opinion, makes them wrong….the sooner we can learn to accept things in other people….race, religion, sexual proclivity….will be the only time our earth will know peace…..but I do not condone allowing religious belief to cause suffering in another human or animal in any way and specifically in your own child…shame on them….there is a line to be drawn…..religious lines are often the ones drawn by the fanatical and forced onto the rest irrespective of pain and suffering caused in the name of their view of what their god believes. 

  339. As a parent if any of my kids came to me and said they were gay, I would say "great", can you help me decorate my house and teach me how to dress better, they seem to have more idea of style and class. It's called gay pride for a reason.

  343. When this poor child's parents end their days and find themselves at the pearly gates, I hope they also find their God wearing a ball gown, a feather boa and high heels.

  346. I'm RELIGIOUS!
    IDK if MY children END up with a Smurf, as long as they are happy and ARE being treated with respect, and loved!
    I really really really dislike when people PICK from the Bible what they want to! I'm sure that the mother WAS "allowed" to learn to READ, I only heard ONE wife….. GET MY point?

  350. 'scintefic' evidince changes throughout history. Human once fort earth Wa flat , smoking was Gd for u ect list goes on. But the word of God dsnt change n it's very clear about gays. Plus I feel tht kid Wa making it worse he obvs knows how they feel n he wantd t wind em up Thts why he videod it

  352. I did'nt react any just a bit depressed but nothing change how i loved him and i get more understanding to gave on him..ACCEPTANCE make us happy as mom&son,we respect more each other especially with regards to his emotions.A mom can give more to her children.

  357. +Ed Mulrenan amen. And if one falls back into that sin, don't let Satan convince you that there is no hope for you. Ask Christ for forgiveness , take his hand and He will help you back up. 70×7. That was His whole reason for coming down and going to the cross. HE GAVE HIS LIFE FOR ALL!!!

  359. I would support him completely and also fear his safety, and how he may be treated in society-then again, part of growing up is suffering despite sexuality/.

  360. +Marc Jackson of course scientific evidence changes throughout history and the word of God doesn't, it's called education. As we learn more then we understand more, that's why we live about 50 years longer now through scientific EDUCATION, than we did 2000 years ago, we learn and educate ourselves to be more understanding, but the word of God never changes because it was written 2000 years ago, doesn't mean it's right, just means it was said 2000 years ago, when people were less educated.

  361. Both parents and son are confused. Train up a child the way he should go when he grow up he will not depart. The trend of allowing children to think for themselves is proving to be a total failure. If the parent were christians they would have followed Luke 15. Oh God heal the hurt in this home in Jesus Christ name amen. This is Jn 10:10 . I just love what the New Jersey parent did to their daughter whom they were paying for her private college when she acting up they simply cut her off and respectfully asked her to find her own living arrangement outside their home as long as she refuses to take parental instructions. The young girl sued in court and lost the legal battle then as the prodigal son did she saw her error repented and came back. No science or anyone can write a new bible we are just to live it out.
     

  363. The bible says that sodomy is wrong not being gay.
    The definition of sodomy is: Forceful penetration NOT consensual penetration.
    I know it also says things about a man lying with a woman etc. etc. but it also says things about god being all forgiving and loving all his children. He doesn't say that because you believe in me you have the right to condemn, ridicule, judge, and impose your interpretation of my word onto those around you. Not once does god give permission to use his words for our own agenda. People are deaf to things the bible says that doesn't fit into there agendas. I bet he never intended for people to use his teachings as a way to hurt, demean, and control our fellow man. Lest not judge or ye be judged.

  364. +Josef Prock intresting read. Yes i am a practicing odinist. I myself am hetrosexual. What cam I say I love woman thier curves .. their very being. But Since homosexuality… If its correct is genetic. Then I dont see a problem in it. Everybody has a right to be happy in life and live the life they choose. As long as I live my life on a certain path showing courage and truth along with other traits is all that matters. I have passed on my germanic features… I have always stood my ground to aggressors of my culture and of my people. And perhaps for me if I keep doing what I am doing valhalla may be achievable. But I will not stand in anybodys way. If the odonist post is correct homosexuality will breed itself out…. I think not though… Life always finds a way. Let people people live how they want.

  365. +Jennifer Rogers Awesome post – goes some way to prove my point about interpreting the bible… however you redeem yourself fully with the rest. Excellent I can now disengage from the post knowing there are sensible people out there…

  367. +joshua goard I'm confused THEN, maybe you can help me out.
    How is it that; CHILD MOLESTERS, Murderers, RAPISTS, AND THE REST OF THE SINNERS OUT THERE Get an "ALL is forgiven, if you Believe in God", BUT from what I've been reading, being gay is WAY worse than any other "Sin", and won't be forgiven?
    What MAKES anyone think that HE doesn't believe in GOD?!
    Also, IF you ARE having sex for reasons other than procreation, guess what, ADD YOURSELF TO THE LIST!

  369. Crazy homophobes are the the problem. Spreading their nasty views is a way of them saying, " I have conflict on my own sexuality". How many times do homophobes have to be told the homosexuals don't want you, they are so much better than you and your so called good genes. They don't recruit. God Bless all good, kind people. Teach the ignorant. Proud to be the Mother of a gay man and lucky to have gay and lesbian family members. Listen to Pope Francis.

  371. +Rebel Son YOU JUST STOP IT ALREADY!
    Nice flag BTW, BET you're upset that slavery is now illegal, SO gotta PICK on someone! For the love of everything, you don't need to SWEAR at someone to get your point across
    "SUMBITCH" AS YOU PUT IT, IT'S SON OF A BITCH, IF YOU'RE GOING TO CUSS SOMEONE OUT, PLEASE SPELL IT CORRECTLY, OTHERWISE, WE ALL CAN'T HELP BUT THINK THAT YOU'RE FIRST COUSIN IS YOUR WIFE/MOM!
    GOT IT!

  375. Just giving my point of view. I believe that you can be anything you want to be in life. It doesn't mean everyone has to except or condone. God to me rules over all but the devil gave us knowledge and the choice. If he wants to live his life in that direction it's his right! But no one should be forced to except it , not even his family. I love and respect people for how they treat me and give them there love and respect back. I have friends and family that are gay. But I feel for the father and wouldn't want it to be my son. I hope you can understand , just giving my point of view.

  380. I haven't come out to my family yet, technically. I don't think they will disown me.

    Even if they do, I am such an individual that it wouldn't matter in the long run.

    I feel like they would actually be more angry that I am an atheist, than pansexual.

  381. +doG havoheJ haY I'm sorry!
    I personally think that he videotaped it because his families violence isn't exactly "New" to him.
    He's 20, years old, kinda expect a 20 year old to behave in such a manner, HE got something off his chest that he HAS BEEN brow beaten into believing IS the worst possible sin on Earth, I expect the older people to have MORE self control than that!
    I personally think that he videotaped it for HIS own safety!

  382. It's sad when she says she follows the word of God. Well when's the last time he has spoken? Definitely not in the last 2 thousand years. God is a creation of man kind to help cope with the unknown. The Greeks and Romans both partaked in homosexuality and no one thought it was wrong. I've lived in the southern Bible belt and it's sad to say there are more people like that then I'd like to count. They believe they are God's gift to the world. The truth is they are a spec of nothing in this vast world.

  392. Very sad. Reveals an essential truth that progress will only come from educating parents. We spend too much time worrying about what we teach children in school, and essentially no time dealing with the attitudes that they go home to.

    This is an extreme example, but also a cautionary tale. To all other parents: think what minor versions of this you might (inadvertently or otherwise) perpetrate upon your own children. It is often hard to separate opinion and preconception from objective truth and genuine support for another's views. I'm as guilty of falling into that trap as the next person, but I'm becoming more self-aware about it:)

    At a purely visceral level, however, I would crawl over broken glass to support my son!

  394. I think being away from a family like that can only be a good thing for his mental and physical health.

    Daniel all the best to you and good luck 🙂

  395. Its very disturbing. 20 yrs old knows his preferences..why to blame him?he is born like that.but it is very vety disturbing.accepting the bitter fact is very difficult

  396. It is genetic, the boy is right. You don't choose to be gay, or any other sexuality, it is always there since the day you were born. I cannot explain my anger towards the parents. How dare they hey disrespect him, he is like anyone of us and I'm glad he's moving out cause, I cant stand parents like that. Stay strong, x

  403. This is clear evidence of a physical assault in progress. Based upon this video, and in consideration of it not being a hoax, these people should be arrested immediately and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Failure to do so indicates a disrespect for not only the victim, but also for the rule of law and should, therefore, not be tolerated in any manner at any time. It is most sad and shameful that while several laws were broken in this process by the perpetrators, a hate crime was also taking place. If these people are not prosecuted immediately for their actions, that means all who have viewed this video are condoning this most shameful behavior of the perpetrators. The next section is simply my assessment of the religious aspect of this interaction: People forget that it is not up to us to judge character (i.e. who you are/your belief systems), but God himself. We may judge actions in accordance with our laws, but we may not sit in judgment of one's character – never "character" – that is His domain. Only God knows what is truly in the hearts of people.

  405. Beliefs. Whether that be religious or otherwise effect expectations attitude and behaviours. If you cannot challenge you beliefs you'll never change your behaviour. So sad

  407. As a mom of 3 grown men and a christian I could never ever react that way. The bible says it is gods place to judge not ours. A parents love is supposed to be unconditional her being worried about what other people think of is so hypocritical. Daniel as much as it breaks your heart not to have your families love and support you are so much better off without their "conditional love" than you are with it.

  408. Omg why why parents do that just love and be their for your kids omg that so so sad I am crying over here so freaking pathetic wow no family support. You supposed to love and be there for your children regardless if they gay or not. Sorry to say he has horrible parents.

  411. it is so painful just knowing that this young man will always have this memory. often i wondered if i had may parents support, but NEVER did they push me down or call me a disgrace, (face flooding with tears)

  419. Parents should love their kids unconditionally and not try to  change them, poor boy, he deserves love and respect from those people who are supposed to love him.

  422. Terrible they seem like they were being fake in the beg of this video bcs of knowing he was recording and finally exploded when he exposed their evil ways….HOLD ON!!! YOU WILL BE BETTER OFF OUT OF THAT HOUSE!!!! GOD BLESS

  427. I do not condone homosexuality but this was no way to act, especially your own children. I am sure it would be a lot to swallow but none the less. I will be researching the 6 weeks after birth thing though. God is supposed to be perfect, all knowing God. If you say you were born gay or that you should be of the opposite sex and become a transgender, then God makes mistakes and assumes what you want to be at birth. Think about this new god that we are preaching now. A god with a small g, that made a mistake of what gender we wanted to be. He really has no plan does he?

  431. These parents are not Christians, a true parent loves their child no matter what and stands behind them. I always said even if my son committed murder, I would personally make sure he went to jail, for his crime but I would be there every weekend to see him support him and hope he tries to be a better person. as far as someone being gay I don't believe it's a choice I think they are born that way, I figured out my son was gay long before he told the family and guess what we still love him as much as we did the day he was born. A good parent has unconditional love for their child. No one has the right to dictate who someone should love and lastly the people in this video are ignorant I hope they get the answers from God that they need and learn from this huge mistake they have just made.

  435. Parents not liking the fact that their son is gay aside, is there another side to the story? What brought on the conflict between son and father?

  437. That's terrible. Just because someone's gay, out of all people you think that it'd be your parents you could trust. And regardless if he's gay or straight. God would still love him just like he loves everyone else

  450. This is so sad! Even if they do not agree, how could you treat your child that way! They are hypocrites! What they said and did and disowning their own son is heartbreaking and they should be ashamed of themselves. If my son told me that he was gay, I would still love him and support him.I feel so sad for him. They are so ignorant and hateful.I hope that this young man knows that there are other loving and caring people out there that will support him for who he is! God bless this brave and courageous young man for being who he is

  452. Religion is the root of All evil and unnecessary suffering.  The kid is so right and the women is totally full of shit.  She's a fucking liar and a psycho like most women.  We man love them, but there's not a man on this earth that will not tell you that they are all nuts.  Go down south and it's all about Jesus Saves.  The place is wall to wall nut balls.  

  463. I saw what sounded like a nice young man trying to reach out to his parents and explain who he is in a rational and mature manner, and all he got back was hate. There is a problem if how you perceive your religion makes you hurt your own children.

  464. A Christian will claim that "God's word" is infallible because it's supposedly unchanging. They will claim that because they have seen that science keeps amending its findings then science is fallible – and science if fallible. Human population is nearly 7 billion. Some say that homosexuals are naturally born that way / others that they become that way through environmental influences / others say its by choice. These particular Christians don't seem to believe what they believe out of any spite. They just believe what they believe. This apparently gay man believes what he believes – that he was born this way. Who really knows if he was born that way, became that way through environmental influences, or if he had a choice in it? They don't and he doesn't. Yet both assert that they know. Anyway, so we don't know. Thus, conflict. This conflict is seen clearly in this video. Don't judge either side for their beliefs. I'm not sure if the man here who asserts that he is gay is going on his new beliefs or if he is going on his conclusions from his life experiences. Does he know for sure? Damn, but in a world population of nearly 7 billion do we need all of those 7 billion procreating? And back to those Christian religious teachings – isn't sex only for procreating – so then to have sex for reasons other than procreating would that not be as much a sin as being homosexual? Or are some sins more weighty than others? Strange that people are allowed to put weight on the sin – which is a form of judgement in itself. And yet towards this apparently gay man here they say its not them judging but its God judging / God's word. So, it seems OK for them to behave in this way because its God's judgement / God's word. But is it then God's judgement that sex without procreation – because lets face it people don't let themselves have a baby born every year – is less of a sin? Weird how religious people can stop themselves having so many babies but see that as no sin but see sin in homosexuality sometimes for the same reason / sometimes for different reasons. I say that the religious people here are not being purposely spiteful at all. They can not help it. They have been born into religion / chosen to abide by their religion. They are thus in conflict with their own son / grandson because of it. And who are we to really judge if they are right or wrong? Who are we do judge if this apparently gay man is right or wrong?

  476. I think it's wrong for the parents to disown their child like that especially them being Christians and all.. And so wrong that this young man talks so disrespectful to his parents, u think your mom carried u for nine months for you to call her a bitch hahaha try that with mine..,!

  477. I am sad to say that these people should look at themselves and feel very ashamed at how they have treated their son, he didn't asked to be born. Everyone is unique, we should not be judged or ostracised because we are different. You can choose your friends but unfortunately not your family. There are people out there who love for you, keep strong. X

  478. +Brian Robertson why is excommunication necessary? The parents just don't like it in their house I didn't hear them say we never want to see you again before the attack. Hoping that this family can be a family again someday.

  480. This is so sad. And for the mother to talk about Christ and believing in the Bible and then turn around to start cursing and hitting her own son. This is what makes people not believe in The Word. Manipulating The Word to suit you. I pray Daniel finds happiness. NO ONE should be treated this way. Just because you don't agree with his lifestyle doesn't mean you disown him or beat him up! These parents disgust me.

  482. From what I'm reading and from what I've seen in life (im not giving away my age but let's just say I'm eligible for aarp) that We as a nation still have a lot of growing up to do. We still have issues with skin color, gender, religion (including the three abrahamic religions) and sexual preference. We still need to learn to be tolerant and treat people as people. Like someone once told me: we have more in common than in difference.

  489. Let's use science, the real dictational factor here, not all of this religious bullshit. As what many have said, you do not decide to be straight or homosexual or pansexual or lesbian or whatever floats your boat; It's just there. It's something biological that people can get. It's no sickness, no screwed-up mentality, none of this bullshit that you people think it is. To the people who respect the person and not the sin, people can be one-hundred percent fine with that as long as you don't go off using your book written by the wealthy hypocrites of the ancients. If you people ever want to fit ends together and end in unity then you will have to learn that some people like some things that other people don't. I, for one, am a homosexual furry. I can't say that I like bronies all that much, but I'm out of the stage where I find one and pulverize them with words. Just learn to accept it, people. Accept that people can be different.

  491. I am beginning to accept. Behind this wall of hate that one creates only because of the fact that it's something that somebody doesn't like, you can find a lot of really cool stuff. For example, being more tolerant of bronies, I respect their styles and their music.

  495. Once you learn to stop hating and be tolerant to others, a whole new world opens up for you. You can find plenty of new things to learn, to do, to see. We used to capture slaves and be racist dicks, but after a while we went out to explore and weren't at least AS racist. Think about this. If we still hated africans and african americans, is it still likely we would have discovered Egypt?

    Unity is key to the future.
