I saw that too, Jeannie, and felt really sad for him & his friends. I cannot even imagine the way they have to live their lives in the shadows & always be looking over their backs. That is a lot to do & very exhausting. I have a gay male cousin here in rural, Bible-Belt Arkansas who lived the same thing during his adolescence. Thankfully, he has moved on to Dallas, where he "blends in better" & no one is on his case. But, truly, where he grew up, NO ONE understood/accepted him. I remember the last family funeral we went to, a bunch of the other cousins were making disparaging comments to & about him, really made me feel sick to my stomach. I don't blame him & his mother for having gotten in the car as soon as the burial was over & getting out of there. Fear makes people do some really stupid things.
