HHolly, it's you that needs to loosen up here....
Dude did what he always does, starts a thread under the premise that the worldly people are right, and are being persecuted by those mean old Christians, and how "we" are not being Christlike.
He was wrong in his premise on this one, as well... for two "celebrities" to go visit specifically an LGBT-whatever homeless shelter is a deliberate attempt to promote the "gay is normal" agenda. And the reporting of it is simply playing along with their agenda. Otherwise, why would it not simply be reported as visiting a homeless shelter?
To ASSUME that all of those "kids" were there because their parents "rejected" them, or "kicked them out" is simply making up unconfirmed "details" for the sake of a story...
Did they poll all the "kids" there to see what the details were of their being at the shelter? Did they verify that the "kids" stories were the truth? I would imagine that perhaps 5% of them were actually "kicked out" by parents. Most of them, more likely, LEFT home of their own volition, simply because their parents disagreed with their lifestyle choice. "I don't have to stay here and listen to THAT"..... then when they get out on the street, it's "I got kicked out".....
I imagine YBats has forgotten more about that lifestyle than you will ever know... it's easy to criticize when you have not walked the walk.
And, you apparently haven't researched the types of threads the Dude posts... perhaps you should spend some time doing that before you take up the "don't persecute Dude" crusade..
don't get me wrong, the Dude is a good enough guy, but like many of us, is sort of typecast by his life experiences, and tends to post strictly from that perspective.
