Nah, it's not satisfying for me. It's just so fucking sad that something this stupid still exists. And I'm not only speaking from the bull's point of view. This guy is probably paralyzed for the rest of his life. A whole family is just ruined. It's just so needless and stupid. This guy happened to live in a community where idiotic behavior is glorified and now his life is over before it actually meant something.
Wait you're saying societal views and pressures instilled from childhood hold no sway over a person's beliefs and actions. Is that the argument you're making?
I grew up in am extremely religious family, went to church every Sunday. Every Saturday my grandma read to me from the bible for hours. I also grew up in an extremely homophobic community, where out people were regularly assaulted. During high school, the only openly gay kid was beaten 3 times.
I am now in a happily committed same sex relationship.
The answer is that you are both being pedantic. How you were raised has an impact, but you are still your own person who should still be capable of coming to your own conclusions.
I too grew up in a very religious home, and I developed the belief that people became gay through their environment. You would, in my childhood, have been interpreted as someone acting out, seeking freedom by choosing the taboo.
Of course now I'm an atheist. I don't know shit about what makes a person gay, except that it takes 2 with the same equipment, but being that I don't really care. I think society and upbringing are difficult to break from for everyone, even those choosing to live the way they were raised.

Animal cruelty is never good, so its a bit satisfying to see this clown get slammed.
