Mom Writes Horrifying Response To Birthday Party Invite From Kid With Gay Dads

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/12/gay-dads-birthday-invite_n_4776658.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular

Well, apparently not everyone likes tie dye parties...

This awful response to a child's birthday invitation is making its rounds on the Internet after a two gay dads living in Baldwin, N.Y., submitted it to their local radio station.

Originally posted on the K-98.3 Facebook page, the heartbreaking note allegedly written by a disapproving mother on an invite to a birthday party for a 7-year-old is certainly a testament to the work that still has to be done to overcome homophobia in our society.



The note reads: "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)"
