News Father Refuses to Claim Body of Orlando Shooting Victim - GoFuckYourself.com

brassmonkey · 06-28-2016, 11:31 AM

Well, this is awful and heartbreaking.

The Advocate reports that although 48 of the 49 Orlando shooting victims' bodies were claimed by family, one father of a gay man who died in the Orlando shooting rejected his son's body.

The names of the men were not released so as not to "further victimize the deceased," but many, including The Advocate, said the action of a family rejecting their gay child's dead body harkened back to the not-so-distant past.

"[This] case echoes a reality that was widely seen during the height of the AIDS crisis, in which countless numbers of young gay men died and family members did not claim the bodies of their so-called loved ones," they wrote.

Fortunately, the Orange County Medical Examiner and Florida Emergency Mortuary Operations Response System convinced other family members living in Orlando to claim the body and arrange a funeral.

"The tale is part of the untold stories of the Latino victims of the Pulse nightclub massacre," the Orlando Latino wrote.

Thankfully this was the only case of its kind from the Orlando shooting.

This truly is a sad story. Gay or not (whatever) a parent should never turn their child away at all - no matter what the case or belief. THIS was their flesh and blood. Personal belief's aside - family is family.

i don't understand why being gay or straight makes you be seen differently

Bladewire · 06-28-2016, 02:24 PM

The guy is Puerto Rican

24 of the 49 killed are citizens Puerto Rico.

The Purto Rican culture is arcane in it's hate for Gays.

what a sad story, BM, you really have found the most upsetting scene of this tragic happening

clickity click · 06-28-2016, 03:23 PM

Don't blame him. Really, don't.

mineistaken · 06-28-2016, 03:47 PM

Why do you all assume he did not claim because he was gay and not because they had terrible relations etc?

ps: how come 24 of 49 were puerto ricans? Was the club located in some Orlando puerto rican hood? Very disproportionate toll in comparison to percentage of puerto ricans in Orlando.

Maybe the kid was a complete asshole and it has nothing to do with the fact he was gay.

Sad that this guy died without his parents accepting him for who he truly is...

Asshole or not...some lines shouldn't be crossed. Just wrong not to claim the body. No doubt he was loved growing up as a child.
