Third Wind
We need to start a foster program for kids like Michael. Poor kid. Where did this video come from? That mom was MAD. Is he going to be okay?
Thank gawd (haha!) my family respects my (lack of) beliefs. They shake their collective heads when I do go to church with them and don’t get up for Communion, and they still sort of regard it as a passing phase (that’s been actively going on for at least a decade….), but at least they’re not Inquisition Catholics….
I love that this video seems to have been quickly shot by some nefarious sibling, guerilla-style.
That is all.
Sooz, I have no doubt that kid will be just fine. Did you notice how young he was? If he had the courage to “come out” to his parents when he was that age, he already possesses quite a bit of inner strength; I didn’t have the strength to come out to my parents until I was 23, and have only just recently begun speaking to my parents about the fact that I am no longer a Christian. I’m quite envious of teens that are as self-aware as this one.
