No offense to his parents, but what twisted souls to put his son through something like this. It honestly must be how Jews must have felt mentally in the concentration camps of WWII (let's not forget that homosexuals were also massacred by the Nazis however).

Pam's House Blend has a story about plans by some conservative to tag homosexuals . Crazy quote of the day: ""We put warning labels on cigarette packs because we know that smoking takes one to two years off the average life span, yet we 'celebrate' a lifestyle that we know spreads every kind of sexually transmitted disease and takes at least 20 years off the average life span according to the 2005 issue of the revered scientific journal Psychological Reports."-- Rev.
