    This is so heartbreaking!
    We can't imagine how hard it was for this young man to read this awful letter from his father, let alone post it on the internet, but we understand EXACTLY why he did it.
    In an effort to show the world "how hate sounds," Reddit user RegBarc uploaded a letter he received from his loving father after coming out of the closet when he was only 15 years old. His father "disowned" him 5 years ago and they haven't talked since.


    "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 is all in the past.

    Don't expect any further conversations with me. No communications at all. I will not 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 good life.

    No present exchanges will be accepted.
    Goodbye,
    Dad"

    I know this may not sound nice but that father can go to hell! I'm sure he thinks his son is going there! :rolle:
    Any parent that has that sort of attitude just because their child is gay is a despicable human being! Sorry if that sounds harsh. I mean what if your child was born with a serious disability do you disown because they didn't come into the world as a so called 'normal" human being. :dry:

    I wouldnt need to ''communicate'' with a father like this,i wouldnt even consider going to his funeral or something.I believe the worst punishment is that he will never see his grandson/granddaughter,if his son adobt one.Also he will remain alone watching the other fathers having their sons together with them supporting them,but the only thing he will have will be nothing,just a miserable life.

    Oh also that person shouldnt call himself ''Dad''.Its insulting for the other fathers.

    I think that it's for the best. Nobody deserves such a shit as that man for a father. He is unfit to be a parent.

    As a father, I don't know how another "father" can do this to his child, I just don't get it, just sad.

    One of the other posted quote in the article pretty much sums up what I was thinking .
    Being a father is a very easy job. Put it in without a condom, release, run.

    Being a Dad on the other hand requires a lot more effort.

    Exactly. This guy is pathological, his mind poisoned in some twisted way, willing to sacrifice his relationship with his son for a messed up religious or ideological based hatred.

    He's going to be those fathers who die regretful or something.... on his death bed, if he even have a chance to see life differently and regret his decisions....

    How dare he sign it off as "Dad"? He lost his right to use that title several years previous when he abandoned his child. That man is scum, plain and simple.

    This is heartbreaking, and terribly sad. :frowning2:

    But tbh, I fear that the same will happen to me if I come out to my parents...

    I strongly doubt that there's any likelihood of that happening within our lifetime.

    I said I hoped, not that I expected it to happen.

    I'm going to be soooo jealous of lgbt kids of future generations who will hopefully live in a more accepting time.
