Father’s Horrific Reaction To Gay Teen Son Captured On Facebook Messenger
Father’s Horrific Reaction To Gay Teen Son Captured On Facebook Messenger
Here are five words nobody should ever hear after coming out of the closet, least of all from their own father: “This is worse than death.”
Sadly, that’s just one of the remarks that a fifteen-year-old Vancouver, Canada boy named Tyler was met with when he came out to his dad via Facebook messenger.
Tyler posted the conversation, which occurred during the winter, to his Tumblr account. Since then it’s attracted attention for being a harsh reminder of the struggle people face to find acceptance.
After posting a coming out on his Facebook page and telling his sisters and mother, Tyler moved onto his dad. He knew it wasn’t going to be easy.
Here’s more of Dad’s response: “We took care of you since you were a baby. We loved you, took care of you when you’re sick. Lost many days and nights in all your fifteen years. [Now] this is what we get in return, shame and embarrassment…Take out your post from the social media. You embarrass me… I’m going to puke.”
Still, Tyler is hoping for resolution some day soon. He told HuffPost:
“I’m hoping there’s still the possibility that he could change, even it takes while. Maybe he could accept me, because that’s all I want… I just want him to be there for me.”
Here’s the conversation Tyler posted:

Equality California Becomes First LGBT Organization to Endorse Hillary Clinton for President in 2016
Equality California Becomes First LGBT Organization to Endorse Hillary Clinton for President in 2016
Equality California has taken a preemptive step in the 2016 race for the White House and become the first LGBT organization to endorse Hillary Clinton for president, the group confirmed in a statement today:
“We want Hillary Clinton to run and are ready to mobilize our 800,000 members to help her win,” said Equality California’s Executive Director Rick Zbur. “We’re enthusiastic about her candidacy because she has the best record of accomplishment on LGBT issues of any potential candidate. Equality California is ready for Hillary!”
As Secretary of State, Clinton championed the rights of LGBT people around the world, making LGBT rights and acceptance a global priority. In 2011, Sec. Clinton gave a historic speech on International Human Rights Day at the United Nations in Geneva, saying: “Gay rights are human rights, and human rights are gay rights.”
Under Sec. Clinton’s leadership, the Department of State used its full range of diplomatic and development tools to combat violence and discrimination against LGBT people worldwide. Thanks to her efforts, LGBT rights became a core principle of U.S. foreign policy in an unprecedented way.
Throughout her career in public service, she has been a champion for LGBT equality and acceptance within the United States. In a video message, Sec. Clinton states “I believe America is at its best when we champion the freedom and dignity of every human being – that’s who we are, it’s in our DNA.”

EQCA also included a two-page fact sheet on Clinton’s record on LGBT issues, which Chris Johnson over at the Washington Blade notes does not mention the late timing of her endorsement of marriage equality in March 2013. Clinton was one of the last big name Democrats to do so.

Jussie Smollet Came Out To Let Non-Straight People Know They’re Not Alone
It was a bigger deal to everyone than it was for me. But at the same time I do understand why it is something to talk about. I didn’t talk to Ellen so that people could, be like ‘oh my God, let’s see what Jussie does in his bedroom in his private life.’ But I did talk to her so that people understood that they’re not alone. That’s all.”
