Grandpa Disown Daughter For Disowning Her Gay Son, 'I'm Disappointed In You As A Daughter' [FULL LETTER]

Today in awesome parenting news: A father, who learned that his daughter disowned his grandson because he was gay, responded in the most amazing way by disowning her. Read his letter below:


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 gays put it) grandson to raise, and I don’t have time for heart-less B-word of a daughter. If you find your heart, give us a call. – Dad.

The letter was posted on Monday to the pro-gay youth organization FCKH8′s Facebook page. It received more than 5,000 shares, 11,000 likes, and 600 comments. FCKH8 spokesperson Luke Montgomery spoke to the grandfather and grandson to confirm that the letter is real. “We get letters and emails from fans of our equality T-shirts all over the world who want us to share it on Facebook and spread the word for the cause,” Montgomery tells Yahoo Shine. “The teen who sent this in has one of our ‘Some Dudes Marry Dudes’ T-shirts and we are going to be sending his grandpa a free ‘Straight Against Hate’ tee for being such an awesome example and inspiring so many even though it was by accident.”
