This grandpa's letter disowning his daughter for throwing out her gay son is perfect

[Soph0571]

In news that will restore some of your faith in humanity after what's been, let's face it, an odd period in time, a grandfather has written the most heartwarming letter to his daughter after she disowned her gay son.

Having made the brave decision to tell his mother that he was gay, Chad was cruelly rejected by her, and called an 'abomination' and 'against nature', reports Bored Panda.

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 the 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 gay put it) grandson to raise and I don’t have time for heartless B-word of a daughter.

If you find your heart, give us a call.

There are no two ways about it, it is a completely perfect response.

Perfect...

1. Go, Grandpa, go.

The grandson is lucky to have this man in his corner.

2. Didn't he just disown her?

[Aristus]

4. Yes, for a perfectly valid reason.

Being heartless and cruel.

Her reason for disowning her son is shameful.

8. No. He left the door ajar.

It's close, but I'd say he put the ball rather deftly into her court.

5. When Gawker published this in 2013, even Gawker's owner thought the source seemed suspicious.

As far as I know, it was never confirmed as either real or fake.

6. No doubt the daughter is a paragon of morality and Trumpanzee.

7. I'm glad that Chad has

someone to turn to, someone willing to accept him for who he is.

I still don't get how parents can just throw away a child they have raised. Even when I've been disappointed with some of their decisions (teenagers, so it is their time to make some poor decisions), I love them with all my heart and can not imagine my life without them.

But, in this case, he's right to distance himself from his daughter, even though it probably breaks his heart to do so. His grandson needs him and he's willing to do what it takes to be there for him.
