Father Disowns Homophobic Daughter in Epic Letter
By Elise Sol�, Shine Staff | Parenting � 17 hours ago
Today in awesome parenting news: A father, who learned that his daughter disowned his grandson because he was gay, responded in the most amazing way.
Dear Christine,
I�m disappointed in you as a daughter. You�re correct that we have a �shame in the family�, but mistaken about what it is. Kicking Chad out of your home simply because he told you he was gay is the real �abomination� here. A parent disowning her child is what goes �against nature.� The only intelligent thing I heard you saying in all this was that �you didn�t raise your son to be gay." Of course you didn�t. He was born this way and didn�t choose it any more than he being left-handed. You however, have made a choice of being hurtful, narrow-minded and backward. So, while we are in the business of disowning our children, I think I�ll take this moment to say goodbye to you. I now have a fabulous (as the gays put it) grandson to raise, and I don�t have time for heart-less B-word of a daughter. If you find your heart, give us a call. � Dad.

I'd not be surprised to find that was 'staged'.
That said, I'd not kick a kid out for being gay.

In the words of God himself, homosexuality is indeed an abomination. However also in the words of God himself, we are to love the sinner. We can't accept the sin as 'normal' but are to try to bring him to repentance. Kicking him out is certainly not the way to do it.

This. I can understand the Dad's frustration at his daughter, but disowning her is not the answer just as her disowning her son. The whole thing does sound fabricated. Ed

To each their own. I don't know if I would go as far as to disown a child but I would not embrace it either! People make choices and with those choices come consequences.

If true, he's too gutless to tell his daughter this face to face?

Years ago...After church services, some of us were hunkered down drawing in the dirt with sticks and someone shot off their mouth about some gay relation...One of the Elders present said "we all have fruits hanging on the family tree." Kind of the last word on the subject.

I don't care because it's probably all bullschit anyway.

Regardless of it staged or not I would never disown any of my children. To side with the father would be akin to siding with the daughter as both have made a choice to "disown" their offspring.
I would like to think I have my childrens' respect enough that some heart to heart talks would go far.
My love for my children is unconditional.
