Circulating Boy Sends Letter To Santa Claus: Does God Love Me If I'm Gay?

JAKARTA - Two weeks ago, social media was enlivened by a letter sent by a boy to Santa Claus. In content, he asked whether Santa Claus supports the LGBT + community.

Operation Santa of the United States Postal Service (USPS), which is coordinating responses to a letter addressed to Father Christmas, shares a special message from a boy named Will.

The letter reads: “Dear Santa, do you support the LGBTQ community and if you can talk to God, can you tell him I love him, and will he love me if I am gay? thanks. Love Will. "

The letter caught attention after being shared on Twitter. Thousands of responses from LGBT + people emerged.

One response read: “It is the most heartbreaking thing. And the worst part is that if this child asks this, then there's a good chance they might not receive the love they need. "

Another Twitter user added: "It kills me that our society, at any time, and especially those that are still today, can plant these bad thoughts in anyone's mind."

Others recall how they grew up with the same question. Will they be accepted because of their sexuality and struggle with homophobia?

Another response reads: "Who told these queer kids that Santa doesn't love them, I need a name."

As one mother wrote: "It is literally my top priority to ensure that my children know whoever they are or who they love, I will never deny them and also God I believe".
