How haters accused a father who built a toy kitchen for his son of raising a "gay"
Last week, Andrew Hook posted photos of a homemade toy kitchen he built for his son Owen on Reddit. Owen turned two this month and the kitchen was his birthday present.
(Total 12 photos)
1. Of course, Owen liked her a lot.
2. The kitchen is made from an old $20 cabinet.
3. Hook posted a complete step-by-step guide to building a kitchen on Imgur.
However, some of the site's users did not like the fact that the boy would play with the kitchen. The now-deleted comments said: "Something is wrong in your country... I hope your child is being beaten in kindergarten" and "Looks like a little gay."
4. Hook wrote back: “If my child wants a Barbie doll, I will buy one for him. He wants what he wants. It's his decision what he wants to play with. Not mine".
“Go away! Every time we go to the local science center or the children's museum, he likes to play near the kitchens. He always wants to watch us cook and loves to help us, so we thought it would be a good idea.”
5. According to Hook, he never doubted building a kitchen for Owen. He has an interest in cooking.
6. “I don’t think what I said changed the minds of any of the haters, but at least I answered something,” he says.
7. Despite the attack of the trolls, the father's defense of his son's culinary interests received the support of many people. After all, the vast majority of personal messages were positive.
8. “The opinions expressed by me and my wife are shared by a lot of people, but there are those who seek to spread hatred,” he says.
9. The "burners" of the kitchen are made of luminous wire.
10. Fortunately, all these ups and downs did not affect Owen's birthday.
11. Judging by the photos ...
12. ... he is incredibly pleased.
