Pierce said that he recorded the family meeting because, “I wanted to make sure there was evidence in case something happened.”
“Pierce’s video began going viral,” wrote Cavan Sieczkowski, “after it was posted by Dan Savage with Seattle’s The Stranger. In the five-minute clip, which does not focus on any individual’s face, the people in the room with Pierce can be heard telling him his sexuality is a choice. When he disputes that, they use religion as an argument.”
Things quickly get heated.
“You can deny it all you want to,” says Pierce’s stepmother, “but I believe in the word of God, and God creates nobody that way. It’s a path that you have chosen to choose.”
Pierce tries to explain that science has proven that sexual orientation is not a choice, but an innate quality.
“Scientific proof trumps the ‘word of God,’” he says.
“You go by all the scientific stuff you want to,” she replies. “I’m going by the word of God.”
What was the point of this so called intervention, to assault him, call him names and tell him he was going to hell, well Mission Accomplished!
And sad that his father let this happen.
