I Am a Lesbian
I was doing some reading online earlier and came across a letter from a father to his son, basically disowning him because he is gay! I find it so hard to believe both as a lesbian and especially as a mother that something as inherent and uncontrollable as one's sexuality would be a good reason(especially in the 21st century) for a father to do that to his son! If I'm the son, my thinking would be that in the long run, I'm better off not looking for approval from such a narrow minded person...even if he's my father. If I'm the father, I'm not really sure why I carry around so much hate in my heart, but its definitely something that needs looking into. Here's how the letter reads:
Dear James,
This is a difficult but necessary letter to write.
I hope your telephone call was not to receive my blessing for the degrading of your lifestyle. I have fond memories of our times together, but that's all in the past.
Don't expect any further conversations with me, no communications at all. I won't come to visit, nor do I want you in my house. You've made your choice, though wrong it may be. God did not intend for this unnatural lifestyle.
If you choose not to attend my funeral, my friends and family will understand. Have a good birthday and a good life.
No present exchanges will be accepted.
Goodbye,
Dad
Now, the thing that gets me is that the father assumes that he can speak to and for God...no God that I'm aware of or choose to accept would encourage you to hate or punish your child for being gay. Isn't God supposed to be forgiving and accepting?
Narrow minded haters really get under my skin.
