Because you know, the next line is just too, too damning.
Too many damn spots to go around on this heartbreaking story. Bottom line is the closet kills, sometimes slowly, but dead is dead. Little boy goes towards dolls not guns, beat his little ass, shock his little brain. You will be like us, or you will die. The parents are given a break here... times change. People that were different from their norm had to fight, tooth and nail for acceptance.. and still are fighting. With many many many publicly fighting back. Kirk is just one more dead queer, their side wins.

The sister nails it. This was a child who deserved protection and unconditional love. Dammit. This makes me so mad.
And way before the male escort entered the stage, my Gaydar bells were going off. Rekers is so obviously homosexual. Not that there's anything wrong with that -- only the self hatred that comes with being a gay Baptist minister, I suppose.
The man has some academic credentials, but then all this referring to his work as "research" would never hold up.
I wish Cooper would quit repeating the word "treatment," which gives credence to this self-hate fueled abuse and reinforces the idea that homosexuality is a medical "condition" that can be "treated."
