Father Overhears His Son Making Plans To Come Out, Writes Him This Awesome Letter

Here’s a good way to kick off your Thanksgiving week!

A father overheard his son making plans to come out to him. The son apparently was talking with his boyfriend.

The dad, who deserves a “Father of the Year” award, wrote him a letter to save him the trouble of coming out.

“Nate,” the dad writes, “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 orange juice 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.”

“P.S. Your mom and I think you and Mike make a cute couple.”

Is it true? I hope that it is, but I have the odd feeling that it's a benevolent fiction.

Still, k/r.

always worth a re-read. Especially at the holidays when folks may have their own plans to come out to family members.
