Number One Dad
by digby
Coming out may not always be easy. One father, who overheard his son on the phone discussing his intentions to reveal his sexuality, eased his child’s worries by writing him the best note ever.
FCKH8.com, an equal rights organization, first posted the touching letter to Facebook on Friday morning. In the note, the father explains he overheard his son, Nate, talking on the phone about coming out. But the father tells him there is no need — he already knew, and he never cared.
“I’ve known you were gay since you were six,” the father writes. “I’ve loved you since you were born.”
He also added a sweet postscript, “Your mom and I think you and Mike make a cute couple.”
That’s what it’s all about. Here’s the note:
Lucky kid.
