I just wanted to say that this secret brought tears to my eyes, because it reminded me that there really are accepting and loving people still in this world.

Thank you

rest in peace sir

Maybe we are related, this is just too coincidental.

Rest in peace in whatever religious afterlife you believe in, Tasha’s great-uncle Wayne.

I went to school with a boy named Wayne, He was gay, He died at an early age. Maybe AIDs I wished I had been a better friend to him.

This made me cry. I’m sorry that some people just don’t understand. Maybe one day, everyone will get along. Rest in piece.

I am so glad you posted your secret Tasha. As a religious person, I am surrounded by those who don’t accept others for who they really are. Some of my best friends and two of my uncles are gay and they are some of the most amazing and beautiful people I know. I don’t think any G-d would put a person in hell for the way He made them- and I hope your Uncle has a wonderful place in heaven, as do you. All the best and thank you

Wiping my eyes at work now. Thank you for sharing this.

This is beautiful.

Im really happy you put up this secret it made me cry instantly and for what its worth i bet your uncle was one of the most amazing people you could ever meet!

This is utterly beautiful. RIP Wayne and all others who have died facing the rejection of their families on the grounds of sexuality. I’ll say a prayer for your great-uncle.

i accept you for who you are. rip wayne

Brought tears to my eyes….you are filled with God’s grace to understand the sadness his family put him through. RIP Wayne

Thank you for reminding me that there are wonderful people here.

My best friend just came out of the closet to his hardcore Catholic mother. She loved him and his boyfriend before she found out that they were gay and together. She now speaks to neither one of them.

I hope it doesnt take one of their deaths for her to realise what she has lost because of her narrow mind.

This is beautiful.

This is really touching.

I thought my family was fairly open to homosexuality (we have an openly gay cousin living with his partner, but apparently they’re total hypocrites who completely judge his lifestyle), but the past two days I’ve realized they aren’t. Apparently, we’ve become too accepting of every little minority out there. It kind of breaks my heart to hear them say such things. I’m gay (or, well, I think I am – regardless, it has given me a huge understanding of the gay community). My feelings have never been a choice. It hasn’t just been an option on a checklist I decided I’d like to try one day. It’s who I am. Period. The fact that my family, and many other people out there, would ostracize people for such a small thing amazes me (and not in a good way). Ignorance astounds me. I have so much more I would like to say about this topic, but I’d be here all night.

That was beautiful, Tasha.

Rest in Peace Great-Uncle Wayne!

Absolutely beautiful. It brought a tear to my eye. God bless you and your great-uncle. <3

That is so beautiful Tasha.
I was crying when i read it the first time, the second time and the third time.
RIP Great-Uncle Wayne. <3

This was beautiful….. I cried while reading this… So heart felt and beautiful. I could feel how she felt. This amazing.
Peace and Love <33

thank you for showing me there are good people in this world

I accept you for who you are, rest in peace. I wish more people would be as loving as you.

I too have a uncle who is gay and suffers from AIDS. I get scared often about the future. I can’t picture life with out him. I’m very sorry for your loss. Glad you have an accepting attitude. I’m always baffled by the amount of people who are so ignorant on the subject. Thanks for the story.

RIP Tasha’s Great-Uncle Wayne.
I accept you.

the only other time i got goose bumps like i just did was when i read a book about a Holocaust survivor. And that was a hell of a lot more words than you used. Well put. I am glad you put this up here. May he rest in peace.
