I agree, all these whippersnappers deciding their sexuality! That's what happens when you let society make it's own choices!!! Make the right choice, go with straight! Dolphins and dogs are always straight, and they're as natural as it gets!
What the fuck is this doing on the internet... This is nobody's business but the two people involved.
Somebody wanted attention and or to get the invisible army mad at their father. Could be an other one of those BS posts to get a reaction as well, lots of those these days.
I suppose if the son chose to share the letter that's his right, but I can't imagine anyone wanting to publicize that type of thing, and if it did come from another source without the son's consent then it's just despicable.
I am hoping some of the responses weren't serious. I've seen his letter and agree it was pretty low, if it's real or not I dunno. If this letter is true, it really is sad that the father would do that to his own flesh and blood b/c of a stupid old book.
I don't like all the hate this type of situation generates (both ways). As lysergic said, this should be a matter between father and son, and nobody else. In my area especially, I'm seeing a lot of hate going the other way. For example: If you happen to be Christian and even mutter the slightest thing suggesting that you don't support homosexuality, you are automatically labeled as a homophobic douchebag, and people love to gang up and say/assume horrible things about you when you could be a perfectly nice, outstanding member of society. Of course I wasn't going to post anything serious in response to this dramatic internet fight crap.
It doesn't really matter if this is real or not. We all know stuff like this happens all the time unfortunately.
every time something like this pops up somewhere as supposed 'news' i always think it's probably just someone trying out their bullshitting skills on the internet. which is exactly what i think this thing is. a real letter like that, would not end up on the net. although, some guys do keep questionable 'friends', i still think the chance that this particular story is real is very low.
