A planned “Straight Pride” event in Modesto, California, is facing vocal opposition — including from the estranged gay son of one of the event’s organizers. - NBCOUT
“I am in a unique place to call her out for where she's coming from, which is white supremacy, and I did not feel like I had the right to stay silent,” Matthew Mason said.
In an interview, Mylinda Mason confirmed that she has been involved in anti-LGBTQ advocacy for three decades. She acknowledged that she brought Matthew to protest LGBTQ people — while he struggled with being gay. “I could see the struggle on my son's face at the very last prom,” she said. And yet she said that her son's homosexuality was to blame for their poor relationship, not her political opinions.
“All I can say about my son is that I have read a lot of the word ‘hate’ out there and I do not hate my son, I do not like my son, I do not love my son, I adore my son — and I want my son in heaven ultimately with me one day. And so I will remain firm on standing what I believe are biblical family values.”
