Father Writes Letter To Son Saying It’s Okay That He Is Gay

It's very difficult for people to come out of the closet, especially to their parents. It's also difficult for some parents to deal with it. There are people like that idiot who wrote a letter disowning his gay son, and there are also people like Sally Field who can openly and lovingly talk about their gay children.

There was a picture floating around on Facebook over the weekend that got a lot of attention, and rightfully so. A father who wishes to remain anonymous, overheard his teenage son, Nate, on the phone with his boyfriend, Mike. They were trying to figure out a way to come out to his parents.

Well, instead of waiting for Nate to muster up the courage to tell him, the dad took matters into his own hands. He wrote Nate a letter that read:

Nate, I overheard your phone conversation with Mike last night about your plans to come out to me. The only thing I need you to plan is to bring home OJ and bread after class. We are out, like you now. I've known you were gay since you were six. I've loved you since you were born. Dad.

P.S. Your mom and I think you and Mike make a cute couple.

As far as I'm concerned, this guy is a strong contender for Father of the year! If you were in his position, would you have waited for Nate to come to you, or done something like what Nate's dad did?
