Default A Christmas Letter to My Gay Son

This article was posted by an activist parent as a Christmas message to her son. Really touching.

Am I the only one that finds this totally depressing? Way to remind me that I didn't go to prom or ever have a date in highschool. This woman is sweet, but only reminds me of how aweful the woman who gave birth to me is.

That was very touching. I loved reading it. I hope that child really knows how good his mother is.
