Parents of Gay Teen Kick Him Out


Earlier in the week, many bloggers wrote about Derrick Martin (above) - the gay Georgia high school student who got school permission to take a male date to prom.  It was a "feel-good" story, especially after the whole Constance McMillen prom-cancelling fiasco.

Unfortunately, as happens way to often in real life, Derricks parents kicked him out of their house after this came to light - according to Towleroad.  So much for the "feel-good story of the week" ...

How can Derrick's parents NOT be proud of him?!?  Not only does Derrick tutor at-risk elementary and middle school students after school - he has earned a full scholarship to college.  His parents should be ashamed of their small-mindedness.
