Maybe you’ve already seen this. A young man in the military, stationed in Germany, calls his Alabama father.

Can I tell you something? Will you love me, period? Dad, I’m gay.

Kudos to his father, too: Dad, you totally rock!
Makes me kind of ashamed I occasionally conceal the fact of being an atheist.

This guy and his dad are my new heroes! They made me cry.


And I blame the President for making this moment possible....


Good Job, Pres. :fistbump:

Thats why my wife is an atheist , and we vacation in Provincetown,a place with a high concentration of Gay's and Lesbians whenever we can,a wonderful town because of the people that live and go there.

3. I told my father I was/am an atheist during the rehearsel dinner for my brother's wedding.
His response: that's wonderful!
