Mar 15, 2013, 5:35 PM | Updated: 5:35 pm

After eavesdropping on his son, a father accepts his son’s sexuality ahead of schedule.

Gawker reported that after overhearing his son’s conversation about coming out as gay to his friend, a father posted a note of acceptance on the teen’s door.

A picture of the note was postsed on the Facebook page of a pro-gay clothing company by Nate, the teen, who is a fan of the company.

The father’s note reads nonchalantly and makes light of the situation, displaying a strong show of progressive acceptance.

The only thing I need you to plan is to bring home OJ and bread after class. We are out, like you now.

We want to hear from you.
