Gay Birthday Party Invite Hoax
Mom's Homophobic Response To Gay Dads' Birthday Invite Was A Radio Show Hoax
The alleged homophobic note sent by a mother in response to a birthday invite from two gay dads was apparently all just a hoax concocted by a local New York radio station.
Earlier this week, the story of two gay dads from Baldwin, N.Y., went viral after Long Island's K-98.3 publicized a supposedly bigoted note from the mother of a boy invited to their daughter's birthday party. The note read: "Tommy will NOT attend. I do not believe in what you do and will not subject my innocent son to your 'lifestyle.' I'm sorry Sophia has to grow up this way. If you have an issue or need to speak to me: [number erased]."
The note was posted to the station's Facebook page Wednesday. Readers expressed their disgust and offered support to the same-sex parents. It was shared across the Internet and covered by the media.

While I'm really grateful a child doesn't have to deal with such blatant bigotry, I think it's disgusting this was a 'joke'. I agree, these 'people' should be fired.
