The media has been abuzz about a father’s letter to his gay son. The father uses words such as; “degrading” and ”unnatural” to describe his son’s lifestyle. He makes it very clear that he no longer wants any ties with his son- who claims he was an ‘excellent student’ and ‘obedient’ throughout his childhood- and tells him his friends and family will ‘understand’ if he doesn’t come to his funeral. The father’s letter is below:
James: This is a difficult but necessary letter to write. I hope your telephone call was not to receive my blessing for the degrading of your lifestyle. I have fond memories of our time together, but that is all in the past.
Don’t expect any further conversations with me. No communications at all. I will not come to visit, nor do I want you in my house.
You made your choice though wrong it may be. God did not intend for this unnatural lifestyle.
If you choose not to attend my funeral, my friends and family will understand.
Have a good birthday and a good life.
No present exchanges will be accepted.
Goodbye,
Dad.
This isn't nasty, it is lovely! I believe being gay is a mental illness and gay dudes should be locked up in their own assylum. The dad did the "rightest" thing to do.
I wish every father would be like this.
There is nothing nasty about the letter. America's claim of liberty has destroyed her moral values. Only a fool will accept perverseness nature like gay. God bless this father for standing for the truth inspite the personal cost of losing a son.
..Simple, plain, civil, stright and honest. I wish every1 could be like dis Dad!! -.
This man is principled.we still this type of parent?
