    My coworker keeps talking about how his son, now a baby, can be gay but to just not bring his boyfriend home or kiss in his house. I can’t help but think about what a failure of a father and a human being he is, and I’m sorry that his son won’t have parents who love him unconditionally.

      If lucky, the boy will rebel, and it will go one of two ways;

      • the dad is forced to reckon with his prejudice, and then realises his son matters more than them, and drops the prejudice
      • the dad drops his son

      Either-or it’s a win-win for the son
