Comment on L.O.V.E. throws arms around ATL’s LGBT kids by Mike

This is a terrible occurrence for these teens. To live without a home because of who you are and who you love isn’t something anyone should experience. The sense of being trapped must be too much to bear at times for these kids. I’m glad that The L.O.V.E. House is there for them. And yes, Stanley is correct in his statement that outside of the perimeter there is quite a bit of ignorance on these issues. I currently work in such a place and am desperately trying to get back to Atlanta. However, I’ve had to come to terms with the ignorance truly being a lack of life experience and repression of who a person naturally is due to small living communities, and work with that knowledge to help bring the larger picture of the world to light with them. Although, there is plenty of discrimination against these LGBT teens inside the perimeter as well, Atlanta is comparably an island and a haven for more groups than anywhere else in the state.

Preach to me! These GROWN adults went around whining and acting stark raving mad over a BASKETBALL PLAYER. Really now? And teens are over-dramatic?

Good for this guy! That’s a beautiful car, but I’d like to get my hands on a Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid Sedan… :)

Comment on Prince of New York lives up to his rep by Teyonna R

He is lucky but I would rather see him with a car then some of the spoiled brats that are usually on the show crying because they can’t get everything they want. Some people are just more fortunate than others. He is obviously one of them but at least his money is going to a good cause.

Adults should be more concern about what message they are sending to the youth. Part of the problem of today is everyone is just looking out for themselves. Where would we be today if our ancestors reacted in this manner?
