Sorry for the kids, but I have simply given up to care about the members of this suicide cult.

As a former child (read: captive) of ultra conservative christian fuckwits, I implore you to try to care. It’s not those kids’ fault they have shitty stupid parents.

I will always vote and support laws that allow children access to proven medical treatments without the permission from the parents.

I do care and feel sorry for the kids, but I cannot change their parents.
