Two gay dads receive shocking reply on the RSVP to their daughter's seventh birthday

[Jazzy]

A pair of gay dads were left shocked and upset by a bigoted response to an invitation to their child's seventh birthday party in Baldwin, New York.

The offensive RSVP to their daughter Sophia's tie dye celebration, written by a classmate's mother, read: 'Tommy will NOT attend.

'I do not believe in what you do and will not subject my innocent son to your "lifestyle,"' the woman went on.

The note continued: 'I'm sorry Sophia has to grow up this way.' The woman then left her phone number, 'If you have an issue or need to speak to me.'

Sophia's parents, who are holding her party on March 1, handed the rude note to their local radio station K 98.3, who posted it on their Facebook page.

The radio station said that the mother had given permission for her phone number to be published and was 'encouraging anyone with a problem with what she did to call her!'

Yet the comments on the Facebook page were overwhelmingly critical of the prejudiced reply. 'I feel bad for Tommy. Growing up with a mother like that,' one commenter wrote.

What a rude and ignorant woman!

Your thoughts?

Some people see their role in life to voice their opinions even when it is uncalled for.

She could have just replied with a "no, thank you" but instead thought she needed to spout off her own bias and hangups to them.

She sounds like a drama queen and is asking for / wanting conflict.

Way to ruin it for Tommy. It's not like boycotting a party is going to make these men straight :glare:

Living in a home that has bigotry as a family value will not leave the child that lives in such a home as innocent. I can understand her view on homosexuality but she should take that mirror off of those men and onto herself and then she see she's not so good as she thinks she is. She is no more innocent to God as those men are. Of course, her self righteousness blinds her to this hence why she acts as she does.

Would it not be complete irony if her son ends up becoming a homosexual in spite of her behavior here today and probably long before this happened? What would she do then if that came to pass? Would she show her son the level of hate that she showed those two men? Is that the sort of woman God would want from her? It's rather obvious her faith is fueling the hate as hate towards homosexuality is almost always driven by a religious faith. It's not to say she is so much wrong for not liking what is shown to her as a sin but ignoring that showering one sinner with hate while ignoring her own is just as foolish.

That's terrible. I agree, I feel bad for Tommy.

I don't think the radio station was in the right to publicly defame the woman, though.
