1. Wow, what a story
How courageous - and forgiving - he is. "Hope" - that thing born of love, and being able to love.

2. His mom ought to be jailed alone for burning his possessions.
Property damage, it's a crime right?

It's amazing that your family love you, until you tell them you're gay. And then they'll try to deny your existence. Sometimes you can do nothing to satisfy your family to gain back trust.

Hypocrisy of the highest order.

3. That story really was heartbreaking.
I have money that says his mother is the type of person that would deny gays the right to adopt, stating that gay people can't possibly raise a happy and healthy child. The irony, even. His parents, and any parents like his, should be ashamed of themselves.

Thank you for sharing that story with us, even though it was hard to listen to completely.
