Sad story involving gay porn:
This kid, probably about 16 years old, was caught shoplifting a gay porn magazine from our store. He was handcuffed and brought to the back room to the loss prevention office, where he (like so many other busted kids before him) promptly broke down and started to cry.
He begged the loss prevention agent, "Please man, please don't call my parents. Call the cops instead. Pleeeeeease!!!! My parents are going to kill me!" And he just sat there, in a weeping heap. The LP agent told him that due to the nature of his offense, they'd only call his parents and it wasn't necessary to call the cops - matter of fact it was better something like this wasn't filed with the police because then he'd have a record. But nevertheless they had to file a report and since he was a minor, tell his parents what it was he got busted for.
"Please just call the cops. I can deal with them but I can't deat with my parents. Can you just tell them that I was trying to steal a guitar magazine or something? My parents don't know I'm gay. They can't know I'm gay - they'll kill me. I'd rather go to jail!"
The kid was inconsolable. And his parents were called. And the kid's mom came to pick him up. She was pissed off like any parent would be, and she was yelling at him in Spanish and this poor kid just sat there squirming. God, at that point everyone including the Loss Prevention agent felt sorry for him
What a way to come out of the closet...
be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle
