A gay couple was sent a homophobic letter after appearing on local television for xLGBTQ+ Pride month. As hateful as it was, a second letter from an accepting nine-year-old lifted their spirits.

In Alderney, England Dits Preece and his partner Allen received an anonymous letter about their appearance at the Alderney Pride event earlier in June. The letter had an enormous amount of errors and wasn't signed with any name or return address.


It clakmed seeing Preece's arm around Allen was enough to make them sick enough not to eat.

"⁠Did you and your partner see yourselfs on channle [sic] news Saturday evening."
"It put me and my husband and grandson off our Tea."
"My grandson asked why that man had his hand around the other one."
"A couple is a man and a woman it always will be. you looked like a joke."
"You look like a joke (the 2 of you)."
"Try being in the circus."

Preece decided, since they didn't put a return address, to post the letter to Facebook.

He captioned it:

"How pathetic they can't put there name to this and how narrow minded they are, it's shame they didn't enjoy there meal."
"Perhaps someone might know who it was, they just need to grow up."
"Still you can't please everyone. Who ever it was, I hope you enjoy your next meal."


Preece went on ITV News for an interview after his post caught attention of friends from all over the world.

He explained his shock of seeing the letter:

"When I opened it and read it, I just couldn't believe what I was reading."
"I've never had anything like this in my life before, and then suddenly I get this after all these years."
"I'm overwhelmed by the amount of people that have made remarks back to me of how sorry they are and to ignore it and not to get upset."
"The messages have come from all over the world.

A local organization called No Outsiders posted another letter in response to the homophobic note, this time from a nine-year-old girl.

She said:

"How could someone be so rude?"
"I think whoever wrote this appalling letter is so insensitive! They need to think about your feelings."
"Everyone is equal no matter what."

She ended by saying:

"P.S: Couple means two, not opposite genders!"

The organization Liberate also shared the post and said to the homophobic anonymous letter writer:

"To the writer:"
"For future reference the answer to 'why does that man have his hand around the other one' is 'because that's his husband' - why would that be such a difficult answer for you."
"Let's hope that the writers grandson is not gay/bi/pan as they are very unlikely to feel supported and accepted by their grandparents, sadly."

On Twitter, Dits Preece is getting responses from all over.









In this case, love really did trump hate.

Lee claimed in his proposal that there is an "extensive process for interested parties like States and local governments to nominate land for disposal to meet housing and community needs," noting that it specifically exempts national parks, monuments, and federally designated wilderness areas from potential land sales.

Trump Ripped For Complaining That Americans Get 'Too Many' Federal Holidays Off Work

Juneteenth is derived from June 19, 1865, when Union troops led by General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared that all enslaved African Americans in the state were free.

While it doesn't always happen, sometimes we get to see karma at work—and sometimes, the revenge is sweet.

TikToker @cassdamm, who previously went viral for sharing the unhinged, five-page letter her 15-year-old son's principal sent, complaining about him "wandering the halls" and "being truant" for buying a drink on his way back to class, is openly celebrating the death of her father, but it's not for the reason you'd think.

Woman Sparks Debate About What Color Her Furniture Is—Only To Discover She's Colorblind

We've all heard the saying that there's no way of knowing everything that you don't know until you're faced with it directly. For some people, that could even be the color of the world around them.

Kristin Hughes, or @im.krispy on TikTok, reached out to the platform for a second opinion while she was trying to list a chair on Facebook Marketplace. Even though she wasn't charging anything for it, the woman who was interested in it continued to inquire for more photos and to know more about the color of the couch.
