I have a nephew who I'm pretty sure is gay, but his father, my brother, is a rabid fundamentalist Christian who was very vocal in his gay-bashing rants as his kids were growing up. He made his daughter give up her best friend in grammar school because the friend had a gay uncle who occasionally visited. My nephew is now in his mid-20s, and I'm certain he will never come out as long as his father is alive because he knows my brother would react in much the same way as the father who wrote this letter. How very sad.
Keep an eye on that kid. If your gaydar is correct, you're describing somebody at high risk for self-harm, substance abuse, and other self-destructive behaviors.
Not peaceful - hence it doesn't describe the situation at all.
Peaceful or non peaceful has nothing to do with anything. The son is gay. Fine. The father has every right to not to accept him whether it be right or wrong. They should both move on with their lives now.
Of all of the Republicans who have posted in this thread only two seem to have a problem with what the father did. Sad, but unfortunately not surprising.
The man in this situation, not a father (because a real father would never do something so disgusting), is completely in the wrong here.
James put his sex before his father. His sin is homosexuality. It is the father's right to do what he wants, not yours. If James made the decision to put his depravity before his father that is his choice.
I'm 33yrs old and have NEVER met a hetero man who would rather have a gay child over a straight child. Never! Now some people deal with dissapointment differently. In this case, the father chose to be a bit extreme. Still cant knock him for his decision though.
Funny I always thought it was the duty of a good father and mother to concern themselves with the happiness and well-being of their child. Guess some people approach parenting very differently unfortunately.
