News: Hillary Clinton comforts gay teen

hot mess

Quote:

Photographer Brandon Stanton posted a photograph of a young unnamed male teenager to his wildly popular Humans of New York Facebook page which has over 13 million likes.

The teen was quoted as saying, ‘I’m a homosexual and I’m afraid about what my future will be and that people won’t like me.’

The post has garnered over 350,000 likes and 30,000 shares.

Using her official Clinton campaign account, the former US Secretary of State posted her comment which read, ‘Prediction from a grown-up: Your future is going to be amazing. You will surprise yourself with what you’re capable of and the incredible things you go on to do. Find the people who love and believe in you – there will be lots of them. –H’

The message was signed ‘-H’ to indicate that she had written the post herself.

The post of the gay teen was reportedly removed by Facebook, according to Jezebel.com.

Stanton reportedly posted a message saying his privileges to upload photos to the page were temporarily removed.

‘Seems that Facebook removed the young man’s brave statement and is now preventing me from uploading any further photos. I’m hoping it was a mistake. It is currently still on Instagram and I’m trying to figure out how to get it back up,’ he said.

update: it's back on HONY's facebook

I saw this because I follow HONY, and it made me really sad. No kid should ever have to feel like they wont be accepted for being gay. There's so much more to a person than their sexual orientation. I just want to give him a big hug. I'm also very surprised to find out he is a teen, he looks about 10 to me
Edit: Ellen also commented on that post. I bet she has him in her show in the next week and gives him $10,000

I vividly recall being into the red power ranger at FIVE.

You sound like some who believes we aren't born gay.

What the child said made me really sad. I completely understand how he is feeling. I went through the same thing when I was younger.

Hillary C. and Ellen D. are awesome for comforting the kid.

Speak for yourself. I knew I was gay since I was 7.

My attraction for men started when I was like 15/16

When I was 7 all I thought about was Pokemon and Digimon
