I was talking 2 my friend yesterday, and it's been like a month since he came out 2 his parents. At first his father kicked him out and that was it, he stayed with his mother, but then he went back 2 his father's. So, yesterday he told me that his dad said 2 him:

"Get your gay mother fuckin' ass up the stairs now, you little queer, transexual"

and that my friend pushed him. His father punched him in the stomach and kicked him

The worst part is that he went 2 the police and his parents lied and they believed them.

like wtf!!!

I'm sad

He needs to get out of that situation right now! Where can he go where he'll be safe?

He said he was going 2 a "teen shelter." I just won't talk 2 him anytime soon so it's kind of scary that I won't b able 2 know what he's up 2

theodore said:

why wont you talk to him?

Omg poor alex oh i'm so sorry.... his parents r animals....

SexualHazard said:

Because he's kind of running away

theodore said:

I'm so sorry to hear about this Theodore. I do hope that he finds a place to live where he won't have to deal with this kind of hostility. The worst part is that it's coming from a parent, who is supposed to love and protect him. If you see him again soon, give him a hug for me.

UCantHavaDaMango said:

Thanks. I will

And also that he's 14

WTF kind of parents are those?


He needs to find a gay youth center in his town post haste.

I don't think the gayness is even the issue.

These parents sound psycho!

theodore said:

If he must run away, and it kinda sounds like he must, at least he's thinking and going to a teen shelter.

God bless him and protect him. God has already blessed him with you as a friend.




And Imago, those are no kind of parents. The suckiest parents...that's what kind.

theodore said:

14! Oh my goodness! He's so young, and now he's on his own? Wow. If he lived closer to me, I'd take him in. I really would.

UCantHavaDaMango said:

I know... like wtf!

It sucks 'cause last night he was with his grandmother, now I don't know where he is... I'm like

theodore said:

I wonder why he can't stay with another family member? Maybe his dad would just come over and drag him back home. Oh, how horrible.

Imago said:

I know. Something like this happened 2 my boyfriend when he came out, just not this bad. Thankfully it's all good now... ish

Point is, my boyfriend told me that it was hard 4 him 2 believe how much other people like my mother and I cared about him and we weren't even his family. I was like

I lived with my Uncle for a while, and when I turned 18 that very day I put my shit in a garbage bag and left.
But as I was leaving my Uncle asked me if I was gay. And I said 'yeah, what did you think?'
And he got mad and was yelling about the bible and how I was going to hell, and I just laughed my ass out the door.
He was a fuckin drunk and didnt attend church either.

UCantHavaDaMango said:

Yes. That's what he told me.

theodore said:

it is wierd.
my friend who was like you and your mother are to him, she always said that we grow up to find our family, that you family isnt the people you are born to.
Oh and other stuff like we had been family in previous lives. etc.
she was great.
you and your mom are likely VERY important to him right about now in his life.

There's not much worse than parents who can't accept things like this from their children.

SexualHazard said:

@ my boyfriend

what city are you in? where are you near? you should find an LGBT youth group - there are case workers in the community who help in these situations all the time. and if you're out of the way, you can always call somewhere like hetrick-martin institute in NYC and they'll surely be able to hook you up with sources nearer to where you live.

I'm in México. He's in Maine.

theodore said:

he should totally call the hetrick-martin institute in NYC, or the NYC LGBT community center (which also has a youth group) - i used to work at the center in NYC and i can tell you right now they'd have resources for him, especially if he's a minor and without a home.

Anx said:

Thanks. If I get 2 talk 2 him again I sure will

poor guy. good luck dude!

theodore said:

You can call CPS-Child Protective Services, he's a child, they can't just beat on him and kick him out, he's only 14....call information and get the 800# you can remain anonymous..sorry for ur friend

babooshleeky said:

I'll sure tell him about it... I just haven't talked 2 him.

This makes me sick! I'd like to kick those parents to the moon. I pray he can find a supportive place to stay because I don't think he should go back to those people.

I talked 2 him

He's staying with his grandmother... she knows and she's okay with it.

At least I know he's okay
