LGBT News Parent upset with son over gay "choice"

And the parent of the year award goes to....

 

This is not new--that letter/answer is a "best of", and I know I've seen it before.

That said, it's worth reading, and maybe even keeping a copy of to show people who talk about "choice."

All this aside, there are, unfortunately, lots of people out there who still think it's a "choice." One sees the stories here regularly.

 

That's fine, at least far as I'm concerned. This letter is worthwhile.

 

These people are something else.

 

Never mind the parent feeling betrayed, I think that's what the son would be thinking after seeing this. What a disgrace.

 

The letter sounds forced and faked, like a troll wrote it.

 

One of the people at my school always says it's a choice and its a sin to one of my lesbian friends. I'm surprised that they are still friends.

 

Stupid as hell letter (who forgets their kid's birthday for 3 years in a row?!) but I love the response.

 

Oh, I read about that and the mom is just a mean person in general. What kind of mother forgets her child's birthday 3 times in a row.

 

Stop reading there. This is not a parent worry about their own kids. This is a parent worry about their image.

 

well you can't have everything mother

 

I thought AMy's response was pretty great though. She told the mother to prove to her child that being gay is in fact a choice, by becoming gay for a while, haha.

 

Yup...

 

That was just great. The response to the parent summed up my feelings towards the "it's a choice" stance.
