Yep all true..and I even predicted as much earlier in this thread. Its not right, but it doesnt surprise me one iota. I live in the South. I know how fervent Baptists can be and how blinded they are by their beliefs...and nothing is going to change that any time soon. Its why I thought all along this was a bad choice by a 17 YO kid...not because what he was choosing to do what he did was wrong, but because there was always going to be a backlash over it. One i am not sure someone that you g could possibly be prepared for. Thankfully it looks as though he has created a tremendous support network though and he should be OK. I am more worried about his relationship with his "mother" than anything though...hopefully she comes around.
