A man who wrote a letter to disown his daughter after she disowned her son for being gay is circulating on the Internet, prompting cheers of "AWESOME GRANDPA!"
The letter, which was posted to the Facebook fan page of FCKH8.com, a company that sells t-shirts printed with slogans which promote equality rights for the LGBT community.
The details of the incident are not available, but according to the letter, the daughter, Christine, threw her son out after he came out to her.
Here is the full letter:
Dear Christine:
I'm disappointed in you as a daughter. You're correct that we have a "shame in the family", but mistaken 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 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 heartless B-word of a daughter.
[If] you find your heart, give us a call.
-Dad
