Woman Breaks Up With Her Husband For Kicking Out Their Gay Son, And We Can’t Help But Stan
There are those of us who are lucky enough to have parents who are supportive even after they have found out who we truly are, and in such cases, accepting moms can often be the first true ally. In some cases, these mothers know a lot more about us and our identities than we think, and they support us no matter what. Such was the case for one closeted queer kid who, after coming out to his homophobic father, was blessed enough to have his mom come to his rescue.
In an extremely viral Reddit post by now-deleted user CountryMommaLynn, Lynn shares the emotional story of how her 15-year-old son came out as gay to her soon-to-be-ex-husband Mark, and how after Mark kicked him out of the house she owns and pays for, she broke things off with him immediately.
“I gave that bastard a piece of my mind and told him that if he can’t be a man and support his son then he can kiss my ass and find someone else to pay his bills,” Lynn recalled in a screenshot of the Reddit post that was posted to Twitter by user @henrythefiend.

As if the idea of a supportive mother kicking out her homophobe of a husband wasn’t enough of an amazing story, Lynn provided a couple of updates that make us stan her harder than we already did. Firstly, she’s really, really excited to meet her son’s boyfriend, and secondly, after her husband begged her to let him stay, she had the best, most epic response ever.
“…he started crying like a baby begging me to let him stay and saying ‘you’ll never find another man like me’ and I told him that is the whole point of me leaving him,” Lynn recalled in a follow-up post. “So he finally left after hours crying like a bitch and now my son and I have lots of extra space!”

"he said 'you'll never find another man like me' "
I don't get why men say this all the time and not realise that's basically the point of leaving them.— Alex (@ATrashyReader) July 21, 2020

This is just so wholesome yet heartbreaking at the same time
Good shit to the mother for being a mama bear
You go mama. Like fr. That's so fucked..
I mean if I understand why everyones so afraid of coming out as this type of situations happen.— Tiggy (@Tiggy_195) July 22, 2020
The best part is that she said this AFTER splitting up with her husband and supporting her son. The fact that she can be so supportive of her son without even really understanding it is so heartwarming to me. pic.twitter.com/dj2YNNbA4e

July 25, 08:29That ?? mother ?? is ?? everything!!!!! She quickly turned what would have been traumatic to something full of love and support.
There’s not a lot quite like the unconditional love of a parent.

July 25, 11:10This is what it means to be a parent. To be a guide, to love, to be unconditionally on your child’s side.
Give this woman an award, please!
