Video – Don’t Use “Fag.”
Posted By Eric Ethington (Author) on May 26, 2010
Ok folks, so I usually keep this blog for purely political articles. But I want you to watch this video. I’ll be honest, I cried. What would my world have been like, and the worlds of millions of other queer teens if their parents had acted like this?

"Eric, trying to have this (civil rights) conversation with you is ultimately like trying to teach a pig to dance, it just annoys the pig. So Eric, sorry to annoy you."
-Paul Mero, The Sutherland Institute.
This was one of the most brilliant, touching moments in TV history. I freaking LOVE Kurt’s father.
Eric, Thank you for posting this. As a mom of two gay kids living in Utah, I only wish more parents would STAND UP and scream like Kurt did. People need to understand the harmful venom that is spread in using the F-word.
Linda – My pleasure. You are one of those rare parents who would have stood up for your child just like this character. Please don’t ever underestimate the amazing work you do for good.
