But wh ANY se please e re! DON"T BOTHER POSTING IF YOU WANT TO SAY: - Gay is sful - Gay is a choice - He is sick - ‘faggot’ or siar ments - He is too young to know he is gay - Make ments not appropriate to a chld of 12 ======== FOR EVERYONE: Frequently Anticipated Qutns: How n I ntact him? – Origally on YouTube he is no longer there. I nnot lk you to him, ntact him, etc. I never had any DIRECT ntact wh him but he has given permissn for this to appear by passg a msage through a third party. He fely do not want people to ntact him. Please accept the gift of this vio om him and leave him be. If I gave his ntact the poor guy would have 50,000 people msagg him at least.

I rpect gay kids and teens, and for that matter, men, women, and straight youth. Abe do not portray himself a sexualized way, and you should not e this blog to treat him as a sexualized adult/adolcent. Are we clear? Are we crystal clear? Is he really gay? --DId you watch?? Of COURSE he is! Y he STILL is. Isn't this jt a phase he's gog th? No. En Oh. He lik guys always he wanted to have a bf 4th gra. Would you ask that of a 12 yo boy who said he lik girls? NO, EN OH, NO! Oh his brac are off now * very very young gay *
