          A little bit of thought might have helped, but it’s definitely too late now.

          Their thoughts and prayers were offset by The San Francisco Gay Librul Agenda! God is PUNISHING those Texas shitkickers because AND ONLY BECAUSE there is Gay in Sanfransisco Libruland!

          I feel sorry for the kids who are suffering, but the parents caused this. Someone might argue allowing this to happen is child abuse.
