14 year shot dead by his father because he didn’t want a gay son

[anxiety]

A 14-year-old teenager has been brutally killed by his father because of his sexuality.

 

Henderson Police, Nevada, have revealed that 53-year-old Wendell Melton allegedly murdered his son Giovanni in cold blood on Thursday, November 2.

 

According to neighbours, there was a heated argument between the pair and then gun shots were heard.

 

Giovanni’s former foster mother, Wendell, has revealed that his father was strongly against his sexuality and she believes it was the reason behind the murder.

 

She told 3 News: ‘He hated the fact that his son was gay.

 

‘I’m sure that inside of his mind, he would rather have a dead son than a gay son,’ she said.

 

In fact, things had become so bad that Wendell had previously drawn a gun on Giovanni after walking in on him with his boyfriend.

 

“Giovanni was abused physically and mentally and spiritually for many, many years,†she added.

 

Wendell Melton is facing charges of murder, child abuse, and prohibited possession of a firearm.

The fact that you would want "a dead son than a gay son" is so disgusting and vile

Not even surprised. In California a man murdered his adult son because he was gay and it offended his religious beliefs. Also killed his wife because she defended her son.

This is really sad, he could have sent his son to live elsewhere if his sexuality offended him so much, he didn't have to needlessly end his life

Do not! Tell LGBT+ people! That they have to be out!

 

Do not! Tell LGBT+ youth! That they have to be out!

 

Unfortunately, this is not the first story I have heard where LGBT+ people have been killed by their own parents simply because they think their child is gay.

 

There are many reasons a gay person may not want to be out! They may fear ostracization from the country, their religion, or their parents. Parents who simply invalidate or deny their child's sexuality or gender identity are not the worst case scenario, unfortunately. In fact, around 40% of our homeless youth are LGBT+. Having to face dire consequences for simply being who they are is a reality for many LGBT+ folks, a reality many obviously wish to avoid. Do not tell LGBT+ people that they have to be out!

RIP to the kid
