Randall Terry's son comes out as gay.

It never surprises me to hear that a family member of a well known homophohe publically comes out. It's kind of sad in this instance...Randall Terry has told his son he's no longer welcome in their home.

1. I hope his son has love & support among friends.

For a parent to turn their back on a child because he comes out is a horrible thing.

2. If my father were Randall Terry

I would throw a freakin party when he told me I wasn't welcome.
Terry is a scumbag.

Any Bad Religion fans? Operation Rescue! (great song)

3. Law and Order

There was a Law and Order episode about this very thing. Except, of course, they worked a murder into the story.

Good luck to his son. I hope his father comes around and learns what it means to be a Christian.

4. Love all the poor little babies -- unless they grow up to be gay

What a slimeball. It should surprise no one that Terry has for years been dogged by allegations of domestic abuse.

5. Randall Terry will end up a sad lonely angry old man and die someday

with no one.
His son can adopt me and my husband as parents. We love all children, gay, straight, and bi. Pity there are so many cruel parents out there . Hopefully, the young man will find some parents besides Terry who embrace him for who he is.

6. I wish we could contact him and invite him here.

He deserves support and praise for his courage. I cannot imagine the guts it took for him to come out.

8. Well...

He has someone in his life who genuinely cares for him. If one can't get the love and support one expects from one's own family, a lover and his family are the next best thing.

9. He symbolically aborted his son for being gay.

That's very Christian.

10. Quoth Mr. Terry:

"I love my son. Jamiel is incredibly gifted. He is articulate and handsome. He sings like an angel, he plays the piano, he's a great cook, and he's a great debater."

Terry went on to muse about the Pope's possible religious affiliations and wondered where bears go when they need to poop.
