I would throw him out. Some life choices should be rejected.

And sadly, I think you may represent the base of the Republican Party.

That's horrible. Did they ever come around, or was that it?

The parents made the correct decision. Hopefully the son can be cured of his illness.

And kicking him out of the house will "cure" him? No, no. Teenagers who get kicked out of the house are at a very high risk of ending up living on the street, having sex for money, drug addiction, etc.

The parents are being cruel. Perhaps they're too foolish to know any better. That's the best I can say about them.

That would be a good trick since I am not a Republican. I would hope they would have enough sense to agree wth me. We have seen the disgrace gays have brought down on the Republicans already. Hopefully they will learn that is all the have to offer. The Catholic Church has seen the results of bringing them into the fold.

I agree the Catholics have really disgraced their religion with scandals of child molestation and cover-ups. While gays have the least amount of scandals. The worst gay problem is Boy George and George Michael which is nothing compared to Catholic Priests. Thank you for pointing that out. Good work. It is amazing how Elton John has donated the most amount of money to charity out of all other performing artists. I think gays deserve a round of applause for their note-worthy work.

I'm sure your gay son or daughter wouldn't want to live in your tin-foil trailer anyway. They would consider it a blessing to leave you.
