Parents put out an ad to announce their son is #gay

Here is what the advert said:

“The parents of Drake are pleased to announce that their son, has come out.
Drake is currently a senior in high school where he is captain of the tennis team, ASB Vice President, and NHS member.
He is a church deacon and enjoys film making and baking.
And yes, he adores Barbra Streisand.”

Joan Wilson penned the announcement and sent it to a Houston newspaper.

“We are blessed to live in a state which has passed anti-discrimination laws.”
“I couldn’t think of a better place than Houston, out of the entire country, where they needed to hear my message of pride.”
“My announcement was my way of humanizing the issue.”
“As a mother, I have much trepidation in thinking my son might one day live in a state such as Texas.”
