Adopted teen given up for being gay

Thu 20 Mar 2014 In: International News

File Photo A gay Italian teenager has been given up by his adopted family who say by being bullied, he created ‘too many problems’. The ‘sweet, shy and insecure’ 14-year-old was being bullied about his sexuality by other kids in his small Italian town. “‘It created too many problems – we can’t handle it,” the parents are quoted as saying in Il Messaggero. “At school his classmates don’t accept it. Everyone says to us why do you bother?” The story has caused an outrage in Italian media, with columnist Marida Lombardo Pijola describing the couple as ‘undeserving of being parents’.
