Memphis Gay Kid Imprisoned in Gay Brainwashing Camp

[Egalia]

Mike Ditto has the story. You can read Zack's blog here - the 16-year-old is being held against his will and hasn't blogged since being imprisoned in the camp a few days ago. This place is sinister. So, of course, they call it: Love in Action.

We need to raise a stink about this one. It sounds like Zack will be lucky to get out of there with only psychological trauma.

Apparently protests are being held outside the Memphis camp. If you're in the area, you might want to join them. Or better yet, find a way to break this kid out. Call the media. Save Zack.

1. Please tell me that this is not serious?

:argh:

2. Just imagine the uproar

If the roles were reversed. That it was a straight kid taken to a gay brainwashing camp.

3. Is this not kidnapping?

If not, why not?

And for goodness sake if anyone out there knows to help legally or with media or whatever--let's do it!

This evil should not be done to anyone. Not even in Republican America.
