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.

New Gay Music Video Hits The Lime Light

Indie rapper Murs, released a new music video for the single “Animal Style” in which he kisses another man. 

The west coast emcee Murs plays the part of Roderick, a high school student who is in love with another male student in his school. The lyrics take you through the lives of Roderick and his secret boyfriend Jonathan; how they break up because friends find out, and the dramatic ending to their love story.  

Rapper Murs is known and very respected in the underground music scene. As a member of the west coast group Living Legends, Murs has released over 20 records in a seven-plus year span.

I commend Murs for giving light to yet another topic that has long plagued our outlook on the LGBTQ community. This story is a real story, and one that the gay community can relate too. Through this video, I can only hope that homophobic individuals become educated about the lives of LGBTQ people. 

Some homophobic rhetoric sounds like this: "If you're gay, then you're not a "real" man."  

My response: "And what defines a real man? How about this, "real" men shouldn't have to cover up their sexuality by co-existing with a woman for front, only to infect the woman as a result of living a double life."

"This video will make our children think being gay is acceptable." 

My response: "And why should it be illegal?"

"This video will poison our children's minds!"  

My response: "As opposed to video games, television, divorce, gang affiliations, drugs, racism, diseases, homelessness, suicide, discrimination, bullying, pedophiles etc. My point is, there are way more issues detrimental to a child's advancement then who they fall in love with. Falling in love is natural. Getting your heart broken is natural. This is apart of life."

"All gay people should be killed!" 

My response: "Then I guess that means exterminating all of human civilization because as we all should know, heterosexual's help to produce gay children. 

Actually, God produces gay children, that's why the cycle will never end! God will continue to bless couples with gay children, until people aren't ignorant to the fact that gay and lesbians are not mistakes.

If love is supposed to outweigh, surpass, and completely submerge all evil, then why does hate still strongly exist? 

Think about it. If God is love, why is it so hard to simply love? And who says God's love is limited to a select group of people? This kind of thinking had to have come from somewhere, right? 

It's even more interesting that the current American presidential election seems to portray the exact hate filled messages.

We have one candidate wanting to help 100% of the country without discrimination, hesitation, or judgement. Then, we have the other candidate who wishes to only help a select group of people, the 2 percent, all while discriminating, judging, and placing burdensome cruelty amongst the majority. 

Now where does this divisiveness come from again?

Pastor Bradlee Dean's Homophobic Rhetoric Lands Him In Court

Bradlee Dean (seen-r), pastor of 'You Can Run But You Can't Hide Ministry', filed a 50 million dollar suit against msnbc host Rachel Maddow (seen below) and journalist Andy Birkey, who both used a portion of Dean's radio show in their reporting. 

Pastor Dean stated both journalists took his comments out of context while defaming his name. 

Dean's attorney Larry Klayman, stated that after the reports were announced Mr. Dean received many death threats. The case is still ongoing but a Washington, D.C. judge ordered Bradlee Dean to pay Ms. Maddow's court fees.

In Bradlee Dean's words: "Muslims are calling for the executions of homosexuals in America. This just shows you they themselves are upholding the laws that are even in the Bible of the Judeo-Christian God, but they seem to be more moral than even the American Christians do, because these people are livid about enforcing their laws. They know homosexuality is an abomination...If America won’t enforce the laws, God will raise up a foreign enemy to do just that."

I guess Mr. Dean saw nothing wrong with using this kind of rhetoric? It appears to me that Rachel Maddow, didn't take Mr. Dean's words out of context at all. 

Both reporters have more of a national platform than Bradlee Dean, so when they reported on this matter his words spread like wild fire. 

Don't hate the player Mr. Dean, hate your own game that got you into this mess in the first place. Will this court case make Mr. Dean, think more carefully about his word usage?
