Sometimes humor is the best way to de-dramatize this type of situations. It’s still a hard topic to bring up because, even though we have progressed a lot as a society, the hate towards the LGBT community is still very present, and you never know when you will encounter it, but a joke or two can often ease the mood and let the person relax, knowing they won’t face judgment from you.
Like it happened to Mason Brian Barclay, as the site good.is reported. He is openly gay and leads a happy life.
One of Mason’s best friends, a girl named Houston, was planning a sleepover at her house on Friday.
“A very gay man”
Mason wanted to attend the sleepover — but how would he go about it? To get Houston’s parents to agree that a guy of the same age as their daughter could spend the night in her room, he decided to send a text to Houston’s mom.
What now, however, caused thousands of people online to laugh is the mother’s answer. She was quick and clever — with the sharpest of minds, her answer was:
“ I just sprinkled coffee all over me when I read this mother’s reply! Wonderful!” Writes one of many Twitter users who got a laugh from the friendly conversation.
I agree with them — the mother’s answer is clever and of course, Mason was allowed to attend the sleepover!
Don’t mess around, SHARE if you liked this mother’s reply! You might also help fight intolerance if you do!
