        This is wrong. Not because he gets kicked out of his house. Do not make him go to Georgetown university for free. No he have to pay just like everyone else. That is a life he chose to be. I know if it was a black person he would have to pay for school. No stop all of this

        In fact, the kid is co-Valedictorian at his school. That's the highest GPA in the entire high school. He wants to go to college and make something of his life. Good for him!

        I think I’ve just come up with a plan to put my kids through college. It’s probably going to make me look like a bad guy though :-)

        ...did you even read the story? He works, he was valedictorian, applied for scholarships, applied for financial aid, & his teachers started a go fund me to help him as his financial aid was based off his parents’ additional income. It’s been adjusted now that he doesn’t have that

        So in that case his sexual orientation has zero to do with this story other than to mislead?

        Once again read the story. The headline is correct in helping people identify who they’re referring to as it’s been pretty public. His sexual orientation caused him to undergo conversion therapy (which is not endorsed by any therapeutic organization) and be kicked out by his
