How not to react when your child tells you that he's gay
Fortunately, this mentality is slowly diminishing, but this video is proof it exists -- and in too many homes, as we know 40 percent of homeless runaways are LGBT kids, and 1.6 and 2.8 million youths run away each year.
Dan Savage writes:
That was hard to listen to. Jesus. Fucking. Christ. My heart breaks for that poor, brave, tough kid. What the fuck is wrong with these people?We could have a fundraiser up and running for this poor kid by morning—if we knew who he was and where he was.
Please remember, if you are an LGBT child or teen in need of help, the National Runaway Switchboard at 1-800-RUNAWAY can help you. The Ali Forney Center has a local and national LGBT youth online resource guide.

Forget Language | August 28, 2014
If you use a trap to catch fish, once
you succeed you can forget the trap. And if you use language to find
meaning, once you find it you can forget the language.
-Bodhidharma, "The Snaggletoothed Barbarian"
Flower of the Day: 08/28/14
"Being
alive is a miracle. If you are alive, it is only through the grace of
God. If you can blink your eyes, it's through God’s grace. It is
impossible to know when you are going to pass away, which is why it is
so important to know what to do with the time you have been given.
Perhaps the best use of your time may be to even meditate on
immortality, since in the end the myth of death imprisons your mind. The
truth is that when your body no longer serves you, you need to change
bodies, but the one who inhabits the body never dies."
- Sri Prem Baba
