A father almost slit his sons throat for being gay

By Alex Bollinger · Saturday, December 2, 2017

A man in Mills, Wyoming, is accused of attacking his 15-year-old son with a knife out of homophobia. Neither the father nor the son have been named in the media.

According to an affidavit filed at Natrona County Circuit Court, the teen said that his parents got drunk on the night of November 20. He said that he went to bed early and his mother went to bed at around 9PM, at which time his father entered his bedroom and started shouting.

The teen “explained that his father disagrees with his sexuality and felt that ‘gays’ should not exist,” the affidavit said. He said that his father got on top of him and pinned his arms down with his knees. He hit the teenager until he pulled out a pocketknife, held the tip against the teen’s throat, and threatened to kill him.

The son said that his father called him a slur. The father then put the knife near the son’s eye and slapped him, cutting his face.

His mother entered the room and stopped the abuse, and then she and the father got into a fight. The son said that his father choked his mother, and after the fight she went to lie down in the teen’s bed.

help them out. IMO situations like this generally just get worse. Next time his son might not be that lucky or the mother.
