Grandfather Disowns Daughter For Kicking Out Her Gay Son. by HezronLorraine(m): 2:16pm On Oct 04, 2013
An unnamed grandfather is winning a lot of online
plaudits after his impassioned letter of support for
his gay grandson was posted online on Monday.
The letter tells the heartfelt story of how different
generations react to the news that a family member
is gay, but in this instance it is the older generation
telling their offspring that they need to show more
compassion.

In the letter, the grandfather passionately addresses
his daughter Christine's decision to kick her son,
Chad, out of their home after he has told her that
he’s gay.


Christine's father doesn’t hold back in letting his
daughter know how extremely disappointed he is
with her reaction to her own flesh and blood.
'You’re correct that we have a "shame in the family,"
but mistaken about what it is,' he blasts her.
He goes on to call her actions 'the real "abomination"
here' and that a parent disowning her child is what
really goes 'against nature.'


As well as blasting his daughter for her extreme
treatment of her own son, he then tries to reason
with her by saying that Chad 'didn’t choose it [being
gay] any more than he being left-handed.'
The grandfather goes on to describe his daughter’s
actions as ‘hurtful, narrow-minded and backward,’
before threatening to disowned her for being a
'heart-less B-word of a daughter.'

However the letter does end on a conciliatory note as
he asks Christine to give him a call.
The correspondence first appeared on a facebook page-FKH8.

‘We were blown away by how this guy stands by his
grandson and stands up against his own homophobic
daughter. This is real love.' wrote FCKH8.com.

It has attracted more than 8,000 likes and 3,000
comments since it was posted on Monday and the
comments are overwhelming in support of the
grandfather’s response.

‘Bestest gramps ever!!!!!!! He wins the internet!!,’
wrote Megan Woodcock Keegan.
Lauren Moose Boland commented: ‘Go Grandpa!!!! I
swear our parents, parents were more open minded
than our parents.’
‘Sad for the daughter that she chose this. I'm just so
happy that the son has family to still surround him
and support him,’ wrote Tinka Lawrence.

Full Transcript of the 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
chase 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 a heartless B-word
of a daughter.

‘If you find your heart, give us a call
- Dad’

I question the validity of some of these letters...they come of as too...extreme? PC? Anyway, if this 'father' truly referred to his daughter as a B-word, I question his own ability to show the compassion he demands for his grandson. Something seems very young about this letter.

I need a link to the FB page where it was posted, so I can go add my "like".

cool

One less homophobic person to worry about.


We're humans, not aliens, and our sexual orientation is only a microcosm of who we really are. Given the chance, we can blow your mind with what/who we can become. cool

Omo eni ko ni buru ka le fun ekun pa'je.



Inasmuch as I don't support gayism, I think the mother should have shown more love and keep on educating and the guy instead of kicking him out.
That her action lacks love.
May God help us all.
