Teen booted from YouTube for hate speech

His name is Caiden Cowger and he doesn't like gays.

The 14-year-old has his own online conservative talk show in which he rants about the liberal agenda. He recently took aim at Obama's support for same-sex marriage.

"President Obama, Vice President Biden, is making kids gay," he said. "They are encouraging kids to think, well, you know what, they're talking about being a homosexual, and they're saying there's nothing wrong with being gay, so you know what, I think I might try that out for a little bit. That's what's going on."

He also complained that too many of his peers were becoming homosexuals. "I knew them when they were in the beginning of middle school, and you know what? They were not homosexuals," he said. "They just decided all of a sudden, I think I'm going to be gay. Why they are becoming homosexuals, why they are becoming gay, is because they are being encouraged by it."

He said that homosexuality was "perverted" and "sickened" him; he also complained that his right to convert people was being denied to him.

YouTube pulled the video of the show. The online audio service Spreaker also blocked Caiden Cowger's online radio show.

“While we not only support free speech ... we cannot and will not condone hate speech," said Spreaker CEO Francesco Baschieri in a statement. "Consequently, we have pulled down audio content from Caiden Cowgar, whose recent gay-bashing clearly crosses the line from free - to hate - speech.”
