Father Refuses To Force Son To Apologize For Exposing Family’s Homophobic Behavior

A father is caught in the middle of a family argument after his son exposes the family’s homophobic behavior during a New Year’s toast. The son, who came out as bisexual earlier in the year, reveals that he has been the subject of gay jokes and that his stepmother has been scaring him with statistics about LGBT youth. The father is left to decide whether to force his son to apologize for ruining the night or to support his son and confront the family’s behavior. Will he be the a**hole if he refuses to make his son apologize?

Father chooses son’s well-being over bigoted family’s comfort

A father’s love for his son should transcend all else, and that’s what this father has demonstrated. After his son came out as bisexual, he noticed his wife and step-sons making homophobic comments and showing statistics meant to scare him. When the son finally exposed their behavior at a family gathering, the father chose to comfort him instead of forcing him to apologize. The wife believes the son humiliated her and ruined the night, but the father believes that his son’s well-being is more important than the family’s comfort. Do you agree with the father’s choice?
