(9,126 posts)I think Nate's dad is also going to be a great role model for anyone who reads this and has children. "Don't worry, we love you." I am so sad to see my friends having children and the fathers who are very liberal instantly snapping into constant worry their son might be gay. Won't let the baby wear anything that resembles a flower or has a whisper of pink. Don't let his hair get too long or cut off his curls because they might think he's a girl.
I remember when my co-worker whom I had become great friends with came out to me. She was so scared and so nervous. I laughed and said, "I already know, we all know." She asked if the boss knew. I said, of course. Her eyes got wide and she asked, "Does he care?" as our boss was very conservative. I smiled again and said, "NO." It was so heartbreaking to see her worry for her job and the loss of friendships because she is gay. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose your family over it as well. I hope the day is coming soon where it is no big deal. Bravo Nate's Dad!
