i don't get gay hate.. i mean i have a few gay mates and it doesn't bother me because why would it? its disturbes me when i see things like this because i have to think.. why does this guys dad care so much on where his sons dick goes?

Many people believe in the traditional family unit. It isn't about disturbance, at least not most of the time. Parents want the best for their kids, and sometimes it's easier to just give up on them rather than try to work around the percieved fault, although this is not as morally sound for most individuals, it is by far easier emotionally and effortly. 

Is it really though? The guy's effectively killed off his son in his mind. Maybe it takes less effort, but emotionally I think it's a mixed bag, whether he realises it yet or not. Personally, I'd use the word cowardly rather than easier.

Afterall, it's definitely not easier for his son on an emotional level.

It's easier for the parent emotionally. Rather than see something he doesn't agree with, and working to agree with it, it is just easier to forget about one's son, and from the matter of the letter it seems like the father put much contemplation into it. I'd think that once somebody is older, they lose the will to fight for something they believe in, and sometimes its just easier to give up and let things run their course, and if you dislike it, you distance yourself. It depends on the person I'd think, to be honest.
