FTA : He claims his mother performed an exorcism on him in an effort to cure her son of his homosexuality before eventually kicking him out of his home.
If that's true, I hope she feels guilty for the rest of her life. One of the few people anyone should count on for support and she treats him like that. She needs to DIAF.
Wait a second, how could she kick him out of his own home??? Unless proofreading fail.

Given only 3 or 4 people haven't filmed an It Get's Better video by now - even your happily straight-married Uncle Bert, whose sole gay experience was once glancing at someone's junk a few seconds too long in the marine showers in 1964 - statistically far more should be dead by now.

Holy. Fark.
And now the mother gets the joy of having to live with, for the rest of her life, the fact that her superstition and bigotry ultimately led to her son killing himself.
I couldn't imagine being so brainwashed that I'd act in the way she did. Now she's going to have to rely on that brainwashing to cope - without it, all she'll ever have again is guilt.

Probably the 'priest' (or 'priest wanna be' if she's some kind of protestant) that performed the 'exorcism' for one.

I don't get this. Lesbians are okay, gays are okay, bisexuals you are forced to tolerate, and transexuals you feel free to look down on?
If it's okay to look down on transexuals and feel uncomfortable that you're forced to tolerate bisexuals, why isnt okay for other people to look down on both lesbians and gays, or feel uncomfortable that they're forced to tolerate lesbians and gays?

Judith:
[on Stan's desire to be a mother] Here! I've got an idea: Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb - which is nobody's fault, not even the Romans' - but that he can have the *right* to have babies.
Francis:
Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother... sister, sorry.
Reg:
What's the *point*?
Francis:
What?
Reg:
What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies, when he can't have babies?
Francis:
It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.

This doesn't surprise me. My step-mom threw away a bunch of my old toys (any monsters or bad guys basically) and had a "cleansing" done on my bed room when I was in high school. I'm not even gay, I was just an asshole and didn't like going to church.
She felt that Satan had a handhold on my life. To be fair, she was probably right. But the way I look at it, Satan convinced Eve to eat a fruit that gave humans free will and the capacity for critical thinking. He's basically the hero of the whole farking bible.

And when we got 'ome, our dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves, singing Hallelujah!
Yeah the biatch is probably celebrating tonight, only regretting she didn't kill him herself.

Transsexual-ism(?) does not seem like a healthy thing. Hacking your body up because you 'think' it should be something else? Don't we treat anorexics for less than that?
Bisexual? Socially that's the same thing as gay. Even bigots won't care if a bisexual marries someone of the opposite sex.
