That is what a family should be about - supporting and loving your kids regardless. I've never had to experience any of this first hand, but it breaks my heart to hear the horror stories some people have regarding when they come out to their families. I could only imagine how difficult being gay is and your family should always be a bastion of support and acceptance.
If either of my kids are gay (they are 2 and 4 right now) I can assure you (and them) that my reaction will be just the same as that father's reaction. My children's sexuality has nothing to do with my love for them.
I love the post script.
Anyways good job, dad!
