After beating anti-LGBT Roy Moore, Doug Jones son comes out as gay

After his father beat the most anti-LGBT Senate candidate in recent history, Alabama’s Doug Jones’ son Carson has come out as gay.

Vehemently anti-LGBT Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore has refused to concede, despite being behind by a margin of more than 20,000 votes. 

But that hasn’t stopped Democrat Doug Jones and his son Carson celebrating victory.

Speaking to Grindr’s magazine INTO, Carson has opened up about being gay and the support he has given to his father, and support received in return.



moore (lost...hahahahaha)...

Good for him.

Moore is being really pissy about this while his son has, I believe, 9 real run in’s with the law.
Typical

He was behind Doug Jones, listening intently and being kind and friendly to all around him.

For his sake though, I hope he's made plans to leave Alabama. His life was already in some danger on account of his father's victory - and now even more so.

All the Best to him.

He always says everything is in God's hands and He's really been doling it out to Moore. hahaha

In fact, the article itself contradicts this title (in the article, he says he came out in high school).

So, before you start calling things "lies", perhaps you should learn more about the GLBT community and the issues we face.

Nothing in the article makes mention of this person coming out more than once.

He came out when he was a senior in high school in 2015.

This is a click-bait headline/title.
