On paper, everything was going well for Seth Owen. A valedictorian of a high school in Jacksonville, Florida, with a 4.16 grade-point average, the 18-year-old had been accepted to Georgetown University as part of its Class of 2022.
But he had left his parents house in February after they had given him an ultimatum to attend their church, after years of disagreements related to his sexuality - Owen is gay - or move out, he told NBC News. And Georgetowns financial aid package for him had been calculated based on what his family was expected to contribute, leaving him with a $20,000 gap to pay the tuition for his first year.

He will need much more than $114k for Georgetown.

No scholarships for a valedictorian?
Sensible parents-last time I checked, 18 is the age one is legally an adult, responsible for themselves-parents are not obligated to provide them with a damn thing -and if they don’t want a son who won’t go to church and is a homosexual living in their home any more-hell, it is their home-and those are their rules-like it or leave...
I hardly believe he thinks its a bad decision with 114K towards what would have been loans. His lessons will be later in life.

That ones worth at least 250 grand right there. Half of that or less if I had not thrown in the "aids" part.
Out of all the comments on this thread, yours wins for being the ignorant one.
Irrespective of any position on those who are “gay”, using non-factual information should not be how an opinion is formed.
Made up information does not a good argument make.
When used widely and noted for its falseness it ia then used as an example of how bad are the arguments of those on your side. Your frienda should tell you to quit doing it. You make everyone look bad.
Everything is paid but 20 grand a year. He was Valedictorian so of course he got loads of scholarships.
But you don't understand, unlike FSU, Georgetown is FABULOUS! After all it's run by the Jesuits, fudge packers before fudge packing was cool! And unlike his parents' church, Georgetown eschewed Christianity years ago. Yes sir, we are talkin' fabulous with hundreds of young twinks sharing "similar interests".
My God......All but 20 grand a year. Sheesh.
Another one who did not read the article. He was kicked out of the house in February....graduated in June. Last I knew parents did typically support their kid through graduation from High School.
Yep it is but according to the story this was February, WAY before graduation in June.
Actually that was factual information - Propaganda on your side notwithstanding.
Nice of you to counter with actual facts and not ad-hominem attacks - also demonstrates the strength of your argument.
Sodomite.
I wonder if the parents could even afford the college to begin with?

You will be shocked at what you find. The Kinsey Institute did a very extensive study on this topic.

Yeah that kid is gay.
So, have your son declare a new sexuality, feign disagreement, have him move out of the house (which he’d be doing anyway right to go to college), he posts to the interwebs, and boom — free college.
Sounds like a plan.
Meanwhile, some Canadian got a doctor’s note proclaiming himself a female so he could say a hundred bucks a month on car insurance.
Nice scam. Kick the kid out so he can get school money. So many gullible people with excess cash.
Actually I did and my comment had nothing to do with when he graduated/was kicked out-it had to do with the fact that legally speaking, parents are not responsible for a child once they are 18, whether they are in high school, have a job and work full time or are working on an advanced degree at a university-they are legally an adult-it has nothing to do with what parents “typically do” or don’t do-it is their choice.
On these go fund me deals, is there any kind of tax issue? He keeps the whole amount? Does the go fund me website keep a percentage of the total? Just curious.
Check the stats. Male fags have a very low average age of death and are much more likely to be child predators.
True. Is the age 40. I dont think so. I thought it was 48.7. Going on memory.
