Son – Dad, I'm gay.

Father – What does that mean, boy?

Son – I like men and not women.

Father – I did not create you to be like this. You're a man, not a woman, to like a man!

Son – I know, dad, but there's nothing that can change that.

Father – You who know, I do not accept that choice.

Son – This has nothing to do, father, I really can like man, it will not change anything.

Father – I do not consider you my son anymore, get out of here and forget that you have a father.

Son – Easy, father. You're nervous, you do not know what you're saying. I'm leaving, yes, but when you accept you can look for me, I forgive you for what you're saying. I love you.

I'm sorry for putting you through this.

Mother – Where is my son? Where did he go? What did you do? You have no right to expel him, he is your son.

Father – I kicked him out because he became gay. I do not accept this, I will never accept it!

....

Father – I'm sorry, I'm going after him.
