Straight Man Comes Out To Anti Gay Family On Principle, Family Disown Him
Coming out as gay and knowing that you might end up losing your family for making the decision in order to remain true to yourself is a very brave and tough decision to make, however what heterogay, a Reddit user, decided to do last week takes it to a different level, He came out to his family in response to their negative attitude to gays and DADT even though he isn’t even gay!
Yes, that’s right heterogay is 100% straight, but decided that if his family couldn’t bring themselves to love him as a gay man he didn’t want to have anything to do with them, and from their response since it seems they can’t, something that heterogay admits he’s finding very hard, but feels so strongly about gay rights that he wouldn’t now have any other way.
Heterogay, you are our hero.
You can read his message about what happened below:
“I’m a straight male. Very straight. I love women.
I also totally support gay rights – with all my heart. I can’t STAND bigotry and it really pisses me off that you don’t have equal rights.
I’m straight but if I have a son or daughter that’s gay I’ll be damned if they don’t have the same rights that I do….
My family however, is fairly homophobic.
They live on the east coast. I live in SF.
I’ve never let them say anything discriminatory in front of me without it being challenged and flat out calling them hateful bigots.
