    That boy is the devil. I'm not even going to pray for him to reconsider his choice.

    Feel bad for the guy. Had they reacted like that in my presence, I would've kicked their ass. You don't attack somebody like that. If you disagree, you keep it to yourself. You turn the other cheek. Attacking your own kin and calling them a disgrace is what's disgraceful. Wish this fellow could know that there are many people out there who support him. Family should be the closest support, but when they're not there, it's really up to communities to stand up and support their people.

    It is not a CHOICE whether they have to antagonize their parents with it on video for facebook likes- you're either born a massive attention w**** troll or you're not.

    $50k+ in 2 days on gofundme.com


    I'd say considering their reaction (kicking him out) he made the right decision. He'll probably gross well over $100k before it's all said and done.

    Don't think they knew he was filming. I think he had it to record the conversation. And rightfully so. He was assaulted and has evidence of it.

    I seriously hope this does not turn out to be some kind of hoax.

    50K is a nice start in life.

    Good point. This is likely real, but with the money he's raking in due to being thrown to the curb, we can expect copycats trying for a buck.

    Remind me to never give money to a gofundme person without first being 100% it isn't a scam.

    For him to confront his parents like that, and for him to post it all over the interwebs is a bit too much. I'd just handle this personally somewhere else or discuss it with someone else, like professional help, but there's no reason to post personal or family matters like this.

    I am not justifying the family's actions as right or as wrong, and his choice to tell them right now or way back as right or wrong, or what he does in his private sexual life is right or wrong, I'm simply saying that it's not necessary. Why does he need to "raise money" to live somewhere else? Is he 18? Get yourself a job, young man. :eek:
    It's on the "INFO" section of the YouTurd. :p You could have just clicked.

    I'm sure at times this is a common reaction, but this seemed staged.

    I'm not sure what is worse: this dude attention whoring, his family or the fact he is getting paid like this.

    LOL thats the generation these days. Everything is posted on social media. And social media is so important to them. I only use it for ****s and giggles but for some people, its part of everyday life.

    Can yall imagine how many gay kids that got kicked out, are kicking themselves in the ass right now (puns intended), after hearing this kid raised 60k to live on his own?

    "What?!?!? All I could have done was post the reaction of my parents on youtube and I wouldn't have had to make a living on my own and instead crowd funded my living expenses."

    ^ You asked about "how many gay kids" but... with this video, now many kids might just "become gay" and be able to pull that off just to get funded... you know? :rolleyes:

    perhaps he recorded the conversation because he knew that it might turn violent

    :eek: Check it: At about 3:37, he is the one who FIRST approaches the person who then felt threatened and acted physically violent... perhaps in 'defense' of the body language of "Daniel."
