TRAGIC: ADOPTED TEEN DUMPED FOR BEING GAY
A 14-year-old Italian boy has been rejected by his adoptive parents – simply for being gay.
Il Messaggero last week reported on the tragic plight of the teen, identified as Luke (not his real name), who was abandoned by his biological parents as a baby and was put up for adoption.
As he grew up, he not only suffered homophobic abuse and bullying from his peers but also from his new adoptive parents.
They decided that the issue of his sexuality simply “creates too many problems.”
“We cannot handle it,” they were quoted as saying. “Everyone says to us why do you bother?”
Instead of supporting the young boy, they returned Luke back to the adoption home. He is now searching for new parents, for the second time.
“Two fathers and two mothers in two different moments of his short life have dumped him like a dog whose owner does not want to take better care of him because he’s dirty, annoys with his barking and is too much effort,” wrote Il Messaggero’s outraged Marida Lombardo Pijola.
She described the teen as “a really a great kid” with “a very wide smile…and a passion for pizza with sausage” who was retuned to the adoption home “like faulty merchandise.”
To protect the young boy from further abuse, neither his identity nor those of his foster parents have been disclosed.
I hope authorities black list these crazies and others like them,…! really in 2014????
Absolutely shocking. The poor kid is being treated like a commodity and now that they think he is “broken” the give him back. What type of person would do that. I can’t even begin to imagine how traumatizing this must be for the child.
i would be happy to adopte this young brokrpen spirit

Very very very!!! And he is going to suffer severe psychological trauma as he grows older, with rejection probably being the most centre point of “messed up”! Gosh, I sure hope the Italian LGBTI orginazations will assist him finding a proper home. We cannot do much here from SA can we?

I know how he feels very well i am transgender , and at 16 i was forced to go thrw a so called corrective rape to teach me how bad is to be a girl and because i was still me even broken in every way they abandoned like a piece of garbage all done by my real parents .
