I do, he deserves every penny, ad what religion would that be that I brought into it?
I mentioned no names, but clearly you hold religious views that is a fact is why you are being so utterly negative here, it fits the pattern. It shows you thus must hold some disdain for homosexuality, it actually proves it and the money part is just a smoke screen to claim you are not happy about this, as it is so easy to see through some people

Excellent points Eilzel and I think we both know the reason behinds Ragga's views here, religion, though no doubt she will claim otherwise, hey ho.

You said that religion was behind my views. Explain what you mean please.

Religion is nothing to do with disliking attention seekers who make a profit out of their attention seeking. I feel the same way about Katie Price.

Oh being religious can be the very reason someone jumps onto a story about the plight of a homosexual man disowned by his parents. Unbelievable, and how insensitive, he just lost his whole family, I think he is allowed some attention, after losing his whole family, how absurd and inconsiderate of you proving my point. So you are saying people who have suffered loss and discrimination should not reach out to people now for help?
Good job you do not work for the Samaritans then.

Didge wrote:After the incident he wrote on Facebook: “I didn’t know that my biggest problem was going to be getting disowned and kicked out of my home of almost twenty years. To add insult to injury my stepmother punched me in the face repeatedly with my grandmother cheering her along.”
He said he hoped the video might make other families think again before disowning a gay child.
“If one family maybe watches it and maybe changes their mind in how they are going to handle it about their son or daughter coming out, one family and I will be happy,” he told WXIA-TV.
Mr Pierce said he was planning to donate some of the money to charities intended to support LGBT youth who run away or are kicked out of their homes.


So he is also giving money to others who will need it, hold my hat off to him

So anyone who posted in this thread did so because they're religious?

I don't think that reaching out to strangers to get money is really the way to go about it. I daresay you will try to make out that I'm saying that because of my religion.

Do you think his family are worth having then? Perhaps you secretly admire them.

But I kow you are religious so it is easy to figure out Ragga.

Of course it is okay to reach out to others for help, again he lost his whole family, you need to try and picture what that is like and as seen he is giving money to others who suffer the same plight and posted this video to hope this never happens to others, that parents will see this and think before they do the same to their own child.
I guess all these points are lost on you

Please explain your first comment, and stop beating around the bush. If you can't do that, you're clearly just stirring and being bigoted.

Oh, and he claims that he recorded it in case anything happened. Well he says he was assaulted, so did he tell the police? No, he just posted the video and got a load of dosh instead.

I would think that most people wouldn't document the whole thing on the internet for everyone to see, and make a profit out of doing so.

Really, what makes you think that?
That is speculative babble and avoiding the point to how people would cope, so I ask again, do you think people easily cope with losing their family?.

Again who said he set it up? Again yes I do if they had just lost their familiy in this day and age, being they are reaching out for help after such a traumatic experince

Oh dear, what a sad weird world you must live in.
No mine is quite rational as seen, you have not had anything nice to say about this person who has been disowned for being homosexual, instead you have been completely negative

Once again, do you think that he would be better off with his family, given their views?
If he family come to their senses and admit they are wrong, I am sure he would be very happy, as families mean everything to most people

I have things to do, so I'll leave you to slag me off for things I haven't said, and for being Christian. Have fun!

I know buddy, have some faith though in the fact perceptions are changing for the better and in that I have hope.

And sorry, but any awareness raised is beneficial- if you think it isn't perhaps you sit their wondering why ANY charity (African aid, Cancer research, child cruelty etc) bothers with advertising 'since we're all aware' anyway.

You seem rather hostile over this story tbh.

I know perceptions are changing Didge.  What I am talking about is that because perceptions are changing people are less alert to the homophobia out there as if it is a thing of the past.  All I am saying is yes it is improving for us which is very good but let's not forget that there is homophobia out there.

My apologizes David, I tend to forget this is still a massive uphill struggle for many, facing such unfair discrimination, through no fault of their own, hence why i will always defend against such mindless stupidity cast unfairly unto people for just being who they are.

No you haven't. I find you to be rather shallow - you take everything at face value, and you're incapable of debating any issue with any depth. Your true intentions are rather obvious - your bigotry is right there all the way through this thread.

ha ha ha that made me really laugh, as I say little girl, as seen your views not just by me were seen as poor based no doubt around your religious view points, proving to me you are nothing short of a homophobe.
Again you are also that clueless to understand everyone is a bigot.

You're still making unfounded accusations, and making assumptions. As I said, you're too shallow and lazy to have a proper debate.

They are not unfounded, as seen every view you had here was negative to this individual who is a victim, yet you try to make out he is not which as seen gave the game away as expressed earlier.  You struggled to answer any of my points or others for that matter, so for you to claim about having a proper debate is both comical when as seen you have so much to learn material girl.
So your views have been exposed, you have to live with that, and to be honest you seem negative about many things which is very telling.

You are claiming that my views are to do with my religion, and they are not - ie, your claims are unfounded. You have not answered my questions - because you are unable to back up what you're saying.

You are only here to insult people, which is quite a negative thing, so look at yourself before you point the finger at anyone else.

You are an immature child and I insult you because you are a homophobic prick as seen you still show negative views to a man who has done no wrong and you seem to claim because he sought to reach out this problem i the hope it would not to others and because others have seen fit to help him, of which he is going to give some of this money to others, you still berate him. I could it give one shit what you think of me, because you are an insignificant pathetic child, who clearly exposes themselves every time you post

And yet you can't quote where I've been homophobic, can you?

Grow up Didge and stop trolling the forum with your nonsense.

Are you a fan of the Jerry Springer show? ://?roflmao?/:

Once again Christ never ever condemned homosexuality.  It would be very unchristian to do so

Bless, someone is still acting like a child and in fact you failed to answer many of my questions.

I answer yours, I proved you were homophobic with your constant negativity on this case onto a person who has done no wrong and been disowned, who like many people wants to stop such things happening and thus used the internet with good affect and where others wished to help and thus you were easily exposed.

The only daft question I have not answered was about Jerry Springer, which just made me roll my eyes, so no I do not watch it.
Funny you avoided many of mine and Eilzels though, proving you are such a petulant child ha ha
