    Father's Letter Disowning Gay Son James After Coming Out Goes Viral

    Well, I don't blame his dad.

    A heartbreaking letter, allegedly penned by an unsupportive father to his gay son, has gone viral in the blogosphere.

    It just figures that "god" would be in this letter. With parents like thee, who needs enemies?

    He doesn't deserve the title "dad".

    I read it. Bummer for the guy.

    Of course, now I have to go shower because I have the stink of Arianna on me.

    What a prick.
    I was discovering that life just simply isn't fair and bask in the unsung glory of knowing that each obstacle overcome along the way only adds to the satisfaction in the end. Nothing great, after all, was ever accomplished by anyone sulking in his or her misery.

    Well, look at it this way -- at least "James" now knows where he stands, without a humiliating exchange at a holiday event of some kind.

    To "James" I would say: **** that guy, and good riddance. You're better off, and any hurt you're feeling is the man's betrayal viewed in light of your history with him. Like he said, the past is done. Don't live in it.

    I disagree. The father may seem like an asshole to, say, some that view homosexuality as alright. If a Christian views it as an abomination and sees it as wrong, then that is that person's belief. Personally I wouldn't disown my son, but he would know well and clear my views on the issue. Some of you probably don't understand the father's pov, or even care.

    Why is this newsworthy? It's not. I see people are fanning the flames of drama.

    The man has a right to his beliefs.

    We have a right to be appalled by and speak out against them.

    Nobody's pretending this is newsworthy in and of itself, hence why it's in Off Topic Discussion. What's noteworthy is the fact that it's been seen by so many, and the length of the article written about it is entirely justified given the response the letter has received.
