“A Father’s Letter to His Gay Son Goes Viral, and Warms Hearts”


A letter from a dad to his gay son - who he overheard saying he planned to come out to his parents - has gone viral due to its simple, but seemly hopeful message.
Writes Nate's dad:

“I overheard your phone conversation with Mike last night about your plans to come out to me. The only thing I need you to plan is to bring home OJ and bread after class."
"We are out, like you now. I’ve known you were gay since you were six; I’ve loved you since you were born. Dad. PS Your mom and I think you and Mike make a cute couple.”

The letter was posted by FCKH8 (dot) com, a group dedicated to empowering youth through gay-positive, often snarky apparel, photos and videos.
The national organization Parents and Families of Lesbian and Gays (PFLAG) also saw the letter and loved it, calling it "what PFLAG is all about."
