囧: 貼心老爸寫紙條支持同性戀兒子出櫃

A simple gesture of unconditional love from a dad to his gay son has taken the internet by storm.

一位父親對同性戀兒子無私的愛在網絡上掀起了熱議。

The Michigan high-school student, known only as Nate, had clearly been concerned about revealing his sexuality to his parents.

密歇根高中一位名叫Nate的男孩一直在思考如何想父母坦白自己的性向。

But his coming out conversation was preempt by his father, who wrote a tender note explaining that he had known his son was gay for years and simply didn't care.

但是他關於“出櫃”的談話卻意外被老爸聽到，這位父親寫了一張語氣溫和的紙條給兒子，告訴兒子自己早已知道他是同性戀，但他從不介意。

'I overheard your phone conversation with Mike last night about your plans to come out to me,' the letter begins.

紙條的開頭寫到：“我昨晚無意中聽到你和Mike討論打算向我坦白出櫃的話題，”

'The only thing I need you to plan is to bring home OJ and bread after class. We are out, like you now. I’ve known you were gay since you were six, I’ve loved you since you were born.'

“我唯一需要你做的就是放學後買點兒橙汁和麪包回家，我們現在和你一樣不在家。早在你六歲時我就知道你是gay，但從你出生起我就深愛着你。”

The touching note is signed 'Dad' and the father even ends with a touch of humor: 'Your mom and I think you and Mike make a cute couple.'

這張感人的紙條結尾署名“老爸”，而且這位父親在結尾還幽默地補充道：“我和你媽都覺得你和Mike是可愛的一對。”

The note first appeared on the Facebook page of , an anti-homophobia organization, on Thursday. It has since been 'liked' over 70,000 times and 'shared' on 42,000 occasions.

這張紙條最先於週三出現在的Facebook主頁，是一個反同性戀歧視的組織，目前這張紙條已經獲得超過七萬次“贊”，並被分享到四萬兩千個地方。

founder Luke Montgomery told Yahoo that the letter was emailed to them by Nate. Montgomery admitted: 'We get a lot of crazy stuff, so I almost didn’t look at it.' When he did he burst into tears.

的創始人Luke Montgomery對雅虎表示，這政治條是Nate通過電郵發給他們的，Montgomery承認：“我們有很多材料，以至於一開始我都沒有注意到這個。”但當他看到這張紙條時，他忍不住哭了。

Montgomery adds that: 'It’s actually sad so many people are excited about it. And what I think that says is, one, it’s rare, and that’s really bad. And two, people are really craving this kind of reaction.'

Montgomery補充道：“其實這麼多人對此很興奮是一件很讓人難過的事情。我想這也說明，一是父母坦然接受同性戀孩子仍比較少見，這真的很糟糕，二是人們真的很需要父母這樣的反應。”

The founder says that he was personally affected by the letter. 'It’s what I want,' he told Yahoo. 'It’s what everyone wants.'

這位創始人表示他個人也被這封信觸動了，“這就是我想要的，”他對雅虎說道，“這也是所有人所想要的。”
