An unknown teenager finally mustered enough courage to tell his mother that he was gay. He never thought that his own mother would put him on the streets because of it. He finds help and consolation from someone he didn’t expect at first: his grandfather. He then wrote this moving and bitter letter to his daughter.
“Dear Christine,
I am disappointed in you as a daughter. You’re correct that we have a “shame in the family”, but mistake about what it is.
Kicking Chad out of your home simply because he told you he was gay is the real “abomination” here. A parent disowning her child is what goes “against nature.”
The only intelligent thing I heard you saying in all of this was that “you didn’t raise your son to be gay.” Of course you didn’t. He was born this way and didn’t choose it any more than he being left-handed. You, however, have made a choice of being hurtful, narrow-minded, and backward. So, while we are in the business of disowning our children, I think I’ll take this moment to say goodbye to you. I now have a fabulous (as the gay put it) grandson to raise, and I don’t have time for a heartless B-word of a daughter.
If you find your heart, give us a call.
- Dad.”
Thank God that the grandfather is a more tolerant person than his daughter. It’s no surprise that this letter has spread around the internet like a wildfire. This story proves that a pure and tolerant heart is no question of age. Share this important message.
