Dear Christine,

I’m disappointed in you as a daughter. You’re correct that we have a “shame in the family”, but mistaken about what it is. 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 chase it any more than he being left-handed. You however, have made a 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 gays put it) grandson to raise, and I don’t have time for heart-less B-word of a daughter. If you find your heart, give us a call. – Dad.

The letter was posted on Monday to the pro-gay youth organization FCKH8's Facebook page, to the tune of more than 3,000 shares, 8,000 likes, and 400 comments. "We are going to be sending his grandpa a free 'Straight Against Hate' tee for being such an awesome example and inspiring so many," FCKH8 spokesperson Luke Montgomery tells Yahoo Shine.

That's an awesome letter but the thread title might be even better.

Great job by the grandpa. However the chances that he ever wears that t-shirt outside of his house have gotta be >5%.

Yeah sort of a weird editorial spin from HP here.
