A gay guy kicked out by parents after coming out has learned his mom and dad told everyone he’s a ‘sex offender’.
Writing on Reddit, a 22-year-old guy has written asking for advice after his explosive coming out.
‘I had lived with my parents and my two younger sisters (Anne, 16 and Beth, 17) my whole life. My parents have always been on the conservative side, and while they were somewhat strict, they were loving and responsible parents. I knew they disapproved of “the gay lifestyle”,’ he said.
‘Around age 18 I started to realize I was gay and I spent the next few years working up courage/deciding whether to tell them. I was able to tell Beth. She was super supportive of me. I thought I was close enough with my dad that I could tell him, but I was wrong.

Adopting has destroyed us
High school football players forced teammates to suck each other off in an abusive hazing ritual, a lawsuit has alleged.
Members of Lake Zurich High School, in Chicago, are accused of routinely sexually assaulting and degrading the two alleged victims who have filed the lawsuit.
Attorney Antonio Romanucci, representing the two former members of the 2016 football team, said they were ‘brutally mocked, teased, humiliated, embarrassed and emotionally harmed, all in the name of team bonding.’
Both the authorities and the lawsuit have redacted passages and many details from the report.
However, the lawsuit largely alleges some players urinated on other members of the team, slapped them in the face with their genitals and forced teammates to perform oral sex on each other.

A Mother Stabbed Her Son to Death Because He Was Gay
This is heartbreaking. According to Fox News, a mother in Brazil has admitted to hiring men to beat up her son and then later stabbed him to death. The reason? Simply for being gay.
On December 29, Tatiana Lozano Pereira lured her 17-year-old son Itaberli Lozano to their home. After kicking him out over a disagreement, Pereira pretended that she wanted to make peace with her son and welcomed him back home. Instead of a peace offering, she had hired two “thugs” waiting for him when he arrived; Pereira had hired them to beat him up and “teach him a lesson.”
After deciding this wasn’t enough, she ordered the two teenage boys to kill him. They refused, so she took the knife herself and stabbed her son to death.
With the help of her husband (the boy’s stepfather), they carried the body to a field near Highway José Fregonezi in Cravinhos and burned it. Lozano’s grandmother reported his disappearance and began to suspect the mother’s responsibility. Authorities discovered the teenager’s charred body on January 7.

Bring back the bus!

Gay artist on Steven Universe hounded off social media by angry fans
A gay storyboard artist for the children’s TV show Steven Universe has deleted her Twitter after being harassed by fans.
Lauren Zuke, an openly gay staffer on the show, posted a drawing of two characters Lapis and Peridot on her Tumblr.
Fans were angry Zuke was showing support for shipping the two characters, instead the more popular pairing of Peridot and Amethyst.
They accused Zuke of ‘queer-baiting’ them with a same-sex relationship on the show, according to the Daily Dot.
This in despite Steven Universe having a confirmed lesbian couple by the creators and regularly explores LGBT themes and diversity.
Steven Universe is the story of a boy that helps protect the universe with his gem powers alongside his three female sister/mother role models and superheroes Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl. The vast majority of the show’s powerful figures are female-presenting.
But it got too much for Zuke, leading her to delete her Twitter account.
