Dad Has Epic Response After Neighbor Says He 'Failed' As A Parent Because He Has Two Gay Kids

Dad Has Epic Response After Neighbor Says He 'Failed' As A Parent Because He Has Two Gay Kids

Meeting new neighbors can be stressful; you have to live near these people so making a good impression, or at the very least a neutral one, tends to be important. There are tons of ways to do that, but the events of this article start with an example of how not to do it.

A man's new neighbor chose to make their first impression by insulting him and his family, so he took some deliciously petty steps to make the new neighbor feel (un)welcome. One of the man's kids shared video of dad redecorating for the neighbor—and the clip has the internet cheering.


As the user explained via text overlay:

"My dad's new neighbor said having 2 gay kids means he failed as a parent... So DAD took a moment then replied with this... No, saying things like that does."

The video, shot from inside the house, shows Dad outside.

He is placing huge pride flags around the exterior of the yard space, effectively creating a pride wall between them and the new neighbor/homophobe/parenting "expert."

The video now has almost 2 million views on TikTok

Some AWESOME shade from my dad 😂🌈 #gay #dad @claire_training

That's just TikTok, though.

People are talking about the clip—which has the TikTok comments disabled—on Twitter too.

Heartwarmingly, there were quite a few stories out there about dads, pride flags and standing up for their LGBTQ+ kids.

Passive-Aggressive Flag Fights = Dads' Domain




Flags aren't the only way this dad fights homophobia and celebrates his children.

TikTok is full of adorable videos of the family bonded and enjoying life together.

They've got wholesome dances:

Tear-Jerking proud dad quotes:

I love his answer #gay #dad #lgbtq #pride


And this advice to other parents:

Who else is loving @claire_training ‘s shuggle at the start? 😂❤️🌈 #lgbt #lgbt #gay #lesbian #dad #dance

Part of the reason this family is so special is because dad wasn't always this supportive.

In fact, according to videos, it used to be a very different story.

The now-proud father admits he was initially ashamed of his children for being gay. He was rigid, conservative, Trump-supporting, homophobic and closed-minded.

Everything changed after the death of his wife.

The family-values man realized he had rejected and ostracized his family, friends and community because of who they loved. He was determined to never make that mistake again and set out to make it right.

He started celebrating neighbors, his children and grandchildren, and even stepped in to support and uplift a neighbor who came out in his 70's and was rejected by his family for it.

This dad and his two gay kids continue to support and educate, hoping other families won't miss out on time and togetherness like they did.

Even if their neighbors don't love it.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
