Trial Quote of the Day
(paraphrases of testimony of Ryan Kendall)
When I was 13 years old, I wrote to myself that I was gay and my parents found it and read it. Parents flipped out, very upset, yelling. I don’t remember a lot of what they said, but it was pretty scary the level of their reaction. I remember my mother telling me I was going to burn in hell...
Religious family. Church and God every day part of our lives...
My entire life changed. Before... parents put notes in my lunch, made my lunch. After, they abused me emotionally. Mother told me she hated me, that I was disgusting, repulsive. She wished she’d had an abortion rather than having a gay son. She said she wished I’d had Down’s syndrome or been born retarded.
