I’m so sad for the family having to experience bullying of a kid after the kid took their own life because of bullying. This is the worst kind of horrible. Fire him!

Alabama is basically an ignorant place. I lived there. It took me 15 yrs to escape. It’s so far out of touch that it should not even make the news.

🤦‍♂️

Correction, he received a paid vacation as a reward for telling the truth.

That is too bad. It’s her opinion but she should know that the 1st Amendment is being abused.

Something like this ? Liberty Guns Bible Trump BBQ What is wrong with it ?

Another well-trained and emotionally stable US cop...

Only leave? Or he can just not come anymore you know

He shouldn't have made a comment. Problems like this usually take care of themselves.

So there is Free Speech or not

I'm more interested in why this young man is deceased. More details please.What happened. No young person should be in so much despair that this happens.

Shoulda been fired on the spot.

Stupid lives in EVERY profession!

dirty queers at it again

If you have ignorant thoughts, just keep them to yourself.

I'm conservative but people should be able to do what they want to do when it comes down to sexual preference. This cop needs to be fired immediately.

Fire him.

GovHowardDean On leave? How about immediate termination?

Wow. Free speech as long as it's your speech right? This was a personal profile and the deputy should get back pay for the leave.

We wonder: didn't all Religions and Holy Books as the Bible tell us that there was Adam and Eve: just the 2 necessary for procreation: man and woman ? Wouldn't thus the medical specialists heal who feels otherwise ? I'd like to know more.

Just another reason to hate cops 😠

That joke never gets old.

Stay Classy Alabama! Seriously, worst place I've ever lived.

What a terrible waste of a young life. I suppose the fact that the resposible body in Alabama has suspended the bigot is a welcome progress from the past. R.I.P.

It's bad, but is it international news?

Bulling anti bullies, bullying bullies, anti bullying? So a vicious bullying cycle perpetuated by social media. How about leave the kid alone he had his own problems and shouldn't be a political pawn. Its terroristic to use his photo in the manner implied.

The whole of the UK may find the photo offensive

That’s because it’s a crime these days to not believe in something you don’t wanna believe

He's allowed to have an opinion

Wow. How unethical can you be?

Time to stop the b******* I don't believe in gay marriages but if that's what you want to do that's what you're going to do and that's most conservative views but it is what it is

The whole state of Alabama needs to be put on leave including all the other racist ass southern states

On leave? Psh. Who cares? Fire his ass. DO SOMETHING. On leave doesn't impress me.

So you have no more freedom of speech no more First Amendment okay that's b*******

He was probably rape by an adult and the adult told him he was gay. But....

wow shocker

He should leave and move to Atlantis. blubblubblubblub

Alabama deputy placed on leave for allegedly making anti-LGBTQ comments about bullied teen who took his own life'Society cannot and should not accept this behavior,' the deputy is accused of writing on Facebook. 😔💔 Sad. Maybe I need to rethink my life, and values. Sad! 'If the deputy actually said: 'Society cannot and should not accept this [Gay] behavior', it's troublesome. What will the deputy or the deputy expect people to do who don't accept individuals being gay? These comments are SCARY.'

United Methodists are on a path toward breakup over LGBTQ policiesThere's at least one area of agreement among leaders in the United Methodist Church: America's largest mainline Protestant denomination is on a path toward likely breakup over differences on same-sex marriage and ordination of LGBTQ pastors. Because secular pagans have invaded everything in American life. God does not like idol worship and progressives worship homosexuality. And the atheists and humanists that infiltrated the churches cheer! Good. Break away from the racist component of your church. It does humanity no good that these homophobes were hiding behind your decency for so long.

Supreme Court to rule whether civil rights law bans discrimination against LGBTQ employeesJUST IN: US Supreme Court says it will decide whether existing civil rights laws ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, a question that has divided the nation's lower courts. - PeteWilliamsNBC PeteWilliamsNBC Here's to hoping that the Supreme Court will side on the due process clause of the Constitution, which guarantees equal rights for all citizens, and is upheld by the 14th Amendment. PeteWilliamsNBC I hope it includes gender identity too. Many times, employers say that they can discriminate against you for undergoing reassignment because the law doesn't cover it. Even though Title 7 really should. PeteWilliamsNBC As if we don’t know how the right wing block will vote.
