What really irritates me is that I used to go out of my way to actually cause bodily harm to gay people. Okay? We used it like a sport. It was stupid. Then when you came out of the closet and told me you were gay, I thought, "Oh no. No. No." Then I got to thinking, that kid is yours. You're going to disown him for his sexual orientation or are you going to love him for who he is inside? I said the hell with it. I'm going to love him for who he is inside
