Ex-gay camps

[Laura's Babies]

Why can they not accept their own son the way he is? Gays are HUMAN BEINGS too! They have feelings too! Live and let live and accept people as they are! Geez... Those parents need a reality check! (Right upside their heads! BHAM!!!!)

That is so sick. Agree with karen on the Christian part. How can his parents or anyone keeping him in that camp call themselves Christians? What kind of mother would denounce her own child and emotionally abuse him? Where is the love? And I thought we had some narrow minded people out here---nothing like this. If one of my children or anyone else for that matter confided to me that they were gay, I sure wouldn't be bashing them. My kids would have deserved my love and support, not a lockup.

I agree with the others, not all Christians are that way. I am a Christian and one of my best friends is gay. He is the coolest person I know and I love him to pieces . It's sad that basically his parents would rather have a dead son then a gay one. My parents are Christians and they always told me and my brothers that although they would be disappointed in us they would still love us just the same if we were gay. I hate it that there are "Christians" out there that are like that and make people think all Christians are that way.

Thomas? Me, here, Columbine. The one wearing a pentacle. Hi! Yeah, it's been - well, anyway, another brother of our brother is in hot water. Not that I'm not sure you spotted it, but just wanted to give a shout out from all the way over here. Could you sort things out a little, maybe just put in a req for something like a good night's sleep when he needs one, or a clever friend who knows how to communicate subtly and has a reassuring presence, or even some abductee's rich relative charging in in a cloud of lawyer-dust... Whatever will relegate that bushel basket to apple-picking and help buddy recognize and forgive ignorance is fine, of course. I'm not one for centering my power outside myself, but that's just my personality. I still consider you my friend, and I suspect our brother thinks the same of me, however much noise is jamming the signal these days.

Love, Columbine (another sort of Twin)

*sigh* I hate that and I hate that even some parents would be disappointed in their children for being what they are. My mom made it very clear to me when I came out(and even before I came out) that she loved me no matter what, she was always proud of me for being a good person, and that I should never care what other people think of me. I wish I could talk to that boy, I would hate to see him commit suicide because of his parents. People should be able to live as they are.
