perez - maybe if you didn't slam lohan and samantha every time you bring them up, kids wouldn't feel it was cool to trample over peoples' self esteem just because they are gay or not your idea of what trendy should look like.

I don't know whether to seem hopeful that kids feel more ready to come out earlier and feel safer to do so, or to feel bad that they have to be subject to gay hate crimes at a younger age, an age where they possibly are more vulnerable. I have a nephew who is obviously gay, he is now 13 and when he turned 11 he began hiding his homosexuality more and more. Now he even claims to have a girlfriend. We all know its for show, I try and let him be himself in front of me. He's a great kid.

Not G you are a fn idiot. Who the hell are you to say such a thing?? WIERDO. There IS a gay trait people are born with. Research shows kids as yourg as 3 and 4 knowing they are more like the opposite sex. It is normally people who are so miserable with their own life that they must make hateful comments about others to make themselves feel better. I feel sorry for people like you. I bet you are obese, or a divorcee, or someone who people hate so you want to feel better about yourself.. GET HELP ..QUICKLY DUMBASS

I read this article a few days ago, and I think the main problem here is that teachers just won't talk about it because they don't think its kid-friendly discussion. Talking about being gay doesn't necessarily mean talking about sex. When my teacher talks about her husband, she is obviously attracted to him, but she doesn't bring up that they have sex. You don't have to. What's so unclean about someone just liking someone else? You don't have to mention what they do in bed for kids to get it. More importantly, at a younger age is when kids start to develop their opinions. What better way to open their minds? Even today, kids are raised with sexist presumptions that liking males - whether you be male or female - makes you weak. Which is why anything feminine is immediately countered with the phrase "that's so gay". And kids say this without thinking. Take the funeral example in the article. Even an artistic expression of mourning has to be made a sign of weakness. It's ridiculous. This is where we need to start taking action. If Cinderella can love Prince Charming, why can't a male hero have a prince of his own?

I have 1 gay brother and 1 lesbian sister…which was fine when I first found out about their sexual proclivities (when I was in my early 20's). But 20+ years down the road….they, and their partners, are THE most narcissistic, ego-maniacal, and self-centered people I have ever come across.

What they have put me and my son through (we are STRAIGHT, BTW)…could make a 'movie of the week' on Lifetime. For years, I told my son to never judge homosexuals…but, now, I couldn't care less if he tortured every one of them (and, I have more than enough money to bail him out of jail, if/when he does).

Re: Don –
You honestly think the "main problem here" is TEACHERS not talking to their students about being gay?
We heap more and more responsibilities for the teachers of the country for them to shoulder and parents take less and less. Teachers would be able to effectively do their jobs if parents did theirs. But because there are more parents in the world than teachers, and thus more lazy parents than lazy teachers (because it doesn't take just a whole lot of effort to suddenly become a parent, but it takes quite a bit to become a teacher), the parents are passing the buck. "Hey teach, raise my kid for me!" A teacher who sees a kid 45 minutes a day for 9 months of his life can do SOME things, but absolutely NOT everything. It just isn't possible. ESPECIALLY if by the time the teacher even meets the kid, he's already screwed up in the head. (which, of course, is almost always the case)

It starts at home. School can help, but in reality, school can only help a fraction of what a good parent and a good home can do.

This is horrible, but at the same time he probably shouldn't have been chasing after the boys making them uncomfortable. No excuse for murder. I think that being gay is perfectly normal, animals can be gay.

Re: Don – I will give you that, Don. I HAVE met others from the gay community, who were not like my brother and sister. But, when one finds (and, is reminded DAILY) that 2 members of their family are 'complete assholes'…it IS difficult to feel compassion for an entire community.

Re: itsonlyme – wow, thats really sad that your siblings suck so bad. I'm sorry for you. Unfortunately because of your bad experiences with them you are now raising a child to hate a whole group because of your limited dealings. And congrats on having to money to bail your kid out of jail, too bad all the money in the world wont help if they end up killing someone.

31

It's the school's fault that this happened. This kid taunted other kids and used his "homosexuality" as a weapon. I am not saying this kid deserved to die but teachers and the school should have intervened before the kid with the fun did. He was basically a bully and before he turned out to be the victim, everyone else was his victim. School's fault completely…and the teacher that gave the boy a dress?!? Totally inappropiate and out of line.

Re: Sarah – I can't give you enough 'pats on the back' for that comment, Sarah! You said it all! It is NOT the teachers responsibility to educate the children, regarding sex/sexuality….it is the parents.

When the parents are willing to come home, after a 9-5 shift, turn off the TV, unplug the phone and forego the pre-dinner martini/beer/cocktail…then, maybe they will have the 'nerve' to sit down with their kids and have a talk.

ROMANS 1:27 - In the same way, their males also abandoned their natural sexual function toward females and burned with lust toward one another. Males committed indecent acts with males, and received within themselves the appropriate penalty for their perversion…. Ummmm, yeah, the truth hurts, doesn't it. There is no such thing as a "homosexual trait" … there are, however, such things as "generational curses" - EXODUS 1:5 - I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me… I know, I know - you'll retort with a bunch of cursing and telling me I'm a close minded, gay bashing hater - but your angry, empty insults only prove that you know that there is more truth in what I'm saying than you would like to admit… REPENT & Ask forgiveness for your sins and God can cleanse and deliver you from your perversion. (and no, I'm not being sarcastic, God can deliver you from the spirit of homosexuality, b/c yes, it is an evil spirit controlled by the devil…don't believe, me, go crack open the Bible - aka: GOD'S WORD - and see for yourself!)

God doesn't judge sin. he says all sins are EQUAL. yes telling someone you hate them and being gay are the same in his eyes. he gives forgivness to everyone! HE WILL EVEN FORGIVE YOU.

Re: itsonlyme – Agreed. Parent's can't know whats going on all day at school, but they can make time to do a little digging when they're home. Unfortuneatly far too many parents don't care to (or aren't able to) invest the same time in their children as they do in other aspects of their lives. This is really a societal issue at its core.

Such a sad commentary on the kids coming up today. Maybe even sadder commentary on the adults of today, though. I think there is too much emphasis on letting kids think everything is okay and acceptable, like acting out, bullying, violence, etc. Heaven forbid we punish a child these days. I'm not perfect by any means, but I was brought up in a loving, Christian home, with parents who took up time with me but also taught me to respect other people. When I did something wrong, I had to face the consequences. And no, I don't particularly believe that homosexuality is "right", but I don't judge other people by that, and I don't criticize them or try to change them. I don't think that this kid was especially bright in being flamboyant just "to see them squirm", but there is nothing that would justify his murder. Sorry I'm rambling, but I feel pretty strongly about this.

I do NOT support violence against gays, but I will say that I understand how this happened. This kid was no innocent little lamb. He loathed himself because he was gay and rubbing it in the faces of everyone around him was his way of venting his anger. He was a messed up kid who needed intensive therapy. This is just one more case of the gay community using a half-truth smokescreen sympathy story to try and further their agenda. This kid did not deserve to die. That's an indisuptable fact BUT his behavior was ridiculously inviting of retaliation from his classmates. He WANTED them to do to him that which he lacked the courage to do himself. This was not a "hate crime". This was emotionally immature kids being FORCED to deal with extremely grown up issues for which they are ill-equipped. If the kid had left his sex life out of his school life, he would still be here today. Just because you're gay doesn't mean that you have to make it the central theme and motivation for everything you say and do.

I know what the Bible says, but I keep thinking of a line from SlingBlade: "You been real square-dealin' with me. The Bible says two men ought not lay together. But I don't reckon the Good Lord would send anybody like you to Hades." Face it, we've all broken some rule from the Bible at one time or another, so are we ALL going to hell? I think not.

I like how everyone has an agenda that is gay and it's always political. The vice principal clearly pushed this boy so she could make something out of what was going on for her own gain. I think if anything she was tring to help Larry. I do think that it was wrong of the school to let Larry go around and tease the boys. That right there should have been stopped. But it's still sad in this day and age that people still see homophobia as the last form of bigitry that can go on in America. And it's even worse when people come out and say that what Brandon did was the right thing since "God" says that being a homosexual is wrong and Larry was the one that brough this on himself.

Re: truth – it's not his sex life! Straight children could feel free to talk about crushes and not be accused of rubbing it in people's faces or being inappropriate. Its simply because people are already uncomfortable with homosexuality that it appears that way.

This is exactly why I was upset with him "outing" others, they may not be safe-their own relatives may consider killing a homosexual to be "just & godly". On a lighter note, anyone can defeat Yahwe, see here "Judges 1:19 And the Lord was with Judah; and he drove out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron."

Re: ben i – Whether you believe it or not, it is the Word of God and just b/c this country - or the world, for that matter - has slipped into such a moral decline that their hearts are hardened enough to dismiss the WORD OF GOD as nothing more than uncredible history, that doesn't change the fact that you will bow your knee to Jesus one day and he'll dismiss you into the lake of fire for all eternity b/c of your ignorant, stubborn unbelief…. so keep on telling yourself whatever you need to to justify your life style, it doesn't change the words in Revelation!

This story is chilling. The gender identity issues are masking the deeper issues, in my opinion; an abandoned, adoptee on the one hand, with attachment disorder and on the other side of the conflict, a boy who grew up in a household where extreme and deadly violence was the normal mode of self expression. These emotional issues caused by rampant violence and neglect are the ones that must be addressed if teens and tweens are going to have a safe environment to explore any aspect of their identity, not only gay/lesbian transgender issues.

When this first came out in the Ventura County Star newspaper.
The story was only focusing on Larry, and didn't say anything of brandons life. They didn't want to print the real story that Newsweek did. They didn't care that Larry taunted the boys. . The EO green staff just brushed it off. If Larry hadn't targeted Brandon. Brandon would not have killed Larry. It was not right, but they're teens. They don't think before they act. Brandon was also a victim, nobody had printed that in the VC star until somebody wrote in. Its tragic on both sides.

Re: pitty – JOHN 8:31 & 32 - “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” It's a pity that you see the scriptures that, as you put it, "alienate certain groups of people" as doing just that - call it like it is: You don't like the truth b/c it convicts people that they are in SIN - yes, S-I-N - you can call it whatever the hell you want 'alternative lifestyles' … whatever… It's still S-I-N! Your knee, too, will bow….and keep on the path you're on in your thinking (b/c as a man - or woman - thinks in his heart, so is he) and you will also be cast into the lake of fire - it sounds harsh, but I'm just telling you what the infallible WORD OF GOD says!

Re: tasha – 1. God does love everyone - but he HATES sin - actually the WORD OF GOD calls Homosexuality "an abomination to the Lord". 2. God's Word is infallible - but it's clear that you do not know God's Word - you are void of any true knowledge or wisdom… clearly, since Proverbs 9:10 says "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom"…that means you're behind having even started to have any real wisdom… so basically, I'm attempting to speak knowledge to an ape right now. pointless. Go read the Bible, then come back once you know what you're talking about… actually, that goes for anyone who sits there on their imaginery throne, speaking blasphemies about a God they've hardened their ignorant hearts to by putting their trust and faith in the widom of the WORLD… so sad.

Re: tasha – …and again, I'll say in response to your continued word vomitting of 100% ignorance: You can not understand the working of the Holy Spirit when he does not live inside you - as he does in believers who have put their faith in Jesus - so it stands to reason that you would not be able to fathom the Bible having been written under the direction of God's own spirit… you're, as I said before, void of any real wisdom. Hitting one's head against a brick wall will accomplish nothing but a self-induced headache…so on that note, End of discussion.

Re: TRUTH – Dude shut the fuck up. You're in a website that is written by a gay man. Why the fuck are you here? I'm christian and believe in God, but I'm smart enough to know, that there are other religions, and other opinions, etc. I accept gay people, i don't judge them it's THEIR life. Don't you think they have suffered enough with ignorant people like you telling them that its wrong that they are like that? Don't you think that they have heard the shit that you're saying over and over? I have gay friends, some of them are the closest. I support them, with their choices and treat them just like i would like to be treated. Would you like to be treated like you're treating them? Would you like people telling you, that it's wrong to be you? I don't think so, so please shut the fuck up. I'm tired of close-minded people like you.

This is just terrible. I understand the issues coming out at a younger age has on other parents of the school, classmates and teachers. However, its not about opposing these changes, it's about embracing change and rolling with it.

Re: Shortie1234 – In response to your statement: "I'm christian and believe in God" the Bible says in MATTHEW 7:16-20 - “You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.” … with as many times as you dropped the "F-Bomb" I think it's safe to say you will be one that says to Jesus, "Lord, Lord!" to which he'll reply, "Depart from me, I never knew you!" … as for me being here - hun, if you're Christian, it is your command from GOD to preach the TRUTH - be it offensive or not - you know what scripture comes to mind when I think of people like you who claim Christ and then bear the fruit you're bearing: MATTHEW 6:23 - Therefore, if the light within you has turned into darkness, how great is that darkness! … it's people like you that are tarnishing the name "Christian". You should be ashamed.

Re: TRUTH – LOL? ashamed? Who the fuck are you to judge? Take your own words, God is the only one to judge. I'm not going to waste my time with you anymore. Just one question, why are you wasting your time saying what you have to say (which clearly, no one appreciates). And specially when you're in a gay man's website. Go preach some where else. You are just wasting your time. Get a life.

Re: Jenna – Oh, if I only had the time to dissect your grammar and logic…I could have a field day. You should never comment on topics, of which you have no knowledge of…..didn't your parents ever teach you that? That , alone, just proves that most parents don't teach their children inside the home. Imbecile.

Re: SWEET – …responses like that only further my point that you, like so many who think they have it all figured out, are in reality void of any knowledge or true wisdom. It's obvious by your response… if you can call it that…. that you have no answer - and there's a reason for that, you want to know why??? It's b/c God's Word is indisputable and infallible. So the only thing you can come up with is ignorant cussing and idiot babble about "YOU DELUDED @**HOLES JUST LOVE TO QUOTE THAT PHONY HORSES**T DON'T YA? AS FOR THE "TRUTH", IT'S JUST YOUR MENTAL ILLNESS THAT MANIFESTS ITSELF AS REVELATION!" … Here's some revelation for you - pay attention, you might learn something….though I doubt it: LUKE 12:10 - Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the person who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven…the Bible is inspired of the Holy Spirit…so you calling it what you did, that's blasphemy - better get your mouth in check - or spend your eternal life in a lake of fire…your call!

Criss Angel Is Recorded Threatening To Knock Out His Producer!

Whoa! Criss Angel is NOT messing around here!

The Luxor headlining illusionist was recorded having quite the verbal altercation with Joe Monti, one of his magic producers on Wednesday, during which Angel is heard threatening to knock him out - and now he's had a police report filed against him!

Give it a listen (above)!

Furthermore, Monti later said to authorities that he recorded the meeting because Angel has a history of bullying employees!

He explains:

“I wanted him to know how demeaning he was. I created 50-60 percent of the magic for ‘Mindfreak.' I have no reason to do anything vindictively but I draw the line on violence.”

Scary!

Violence is never the answer, folks!
