Michael Neri, a 26-year-old teacher from Worcestershire in England received a text from a parent of one of his students after she found out he was gay.

The mother said that she would also expect her deposit back.

I have recently learned of your lifestyle and as a Christian I cannot allow my children to be influenced by unconventional ideas.

Michael took the time to respond with this lengthy lesson:

The teacher told the Metro that he has yet to get a response from the mother, and would welcome the children back with or without their mother’s permission.
