Jake McPherson (above) has opened up about what it was like to be disowned by his father for being gay…at 56 years old.McPherson, now 57, always knew his dad held staunchly antigay views, but he still wasn’t prepared for the phone call he received from his 90-year-old dad in January of this year.In an op-ed for HuffPo, he recalls: “When I answered, he told me, ‘It’s about this homosexuality.
Your mother and I can’t condone that. You are not to contact us in any way ever again.'”“My heart was pounding harder than I imagined was possible,” McPherson continues. “My vision blurred.
I felt like I was being physically attacked. Before the call ended, my father added, ‘Am I making myself perfectly clear?’ I told him he was and hung up.”As a kid,.
