Thank you for that ray of light on this very, very dark day.

You cannot reason a person out of a position they weren't reasoned into in the first place.

I don't disagree with you on that point. I just think that a rally will not change any enemy minds.

The most likely scenarios are:

1. The kid stays in the closet and becomes sick and/or commits suicide.
2. The kid grows up and becomes a gay basher. He who screams "fag" loudest invariably is one.
