Anti-Gay Letter From A Father To His Gay Son Goes Viral

A vicious letter sent from a father to his newly out and proud gay son, has recently gone viral. 

This letter has spread to several LGBTQ sites and remains a constant reminder of why marriage equality -- and equality for Gay and lesbians period is so necessary. 

The letter states: "James: This is a difficult but necessary letter to write. I hope your telephone call was not to receive my blessing for the degrading of your lifestyle. I have fond memories of our ties together, but that is all in the past. 

Don't expect any further conversations with me. No communication at all. I will not come to visit, nor do I want you in my house. You've made your choice, though wrong it may be. God did not intend for this unnatural lifestyle. If you choose not to attend my funeral, my friends and family will understand. Have a good birthday and a good life. No present exchanges will be accepted. 

Goodbye, Dad."

How can a parent disown their child, as if he were never a son? 

So his fond memories are good enough even though his son is still alive and well? And if the father's family and friends will understand why his son chooses not to attend his funeral, then does that mean they all think and feel the same way as this parent?

At the end of the letter the parent had the nerve to still call himself Dad!?

That title was obviously revoked, when he decided to disown his son.
