A little boy wrote a heartbreaking letter to Santa and asked him if God still loves him even though he is gay.
In the handwritten letter that was signed off by Will, the young boy asked Santa if he supports the LGBTQ community. He also asked if God loves him even though he is gay.
The touching letter was mailed to the North Pole and intercepted by the USPS. After the staff included the request in the Operation Santa program, the letter quickly went viral and stirred the hearts of people from all around the world.
“Dear Santa, do you support the LGBTQ community and if you can speak to God, can you tell him I love him, and if he loves me for being gay,” the letter, presumably written by a child, read.
“Thank you. Love, Will.”
The letter went viral after it appeared on USPS Operation Santa where the service shares letters to Santa to allow people to fulfill children’s Christmas wishes.
After a photo of the letter also appeared on Twitter, thousands of users voiced their support for the young boy and suggested he must be going through a lot of pain not knowing if it is okay to be gay.
“YES, WILL. YES SANTA LOVES YOU. Also, God loves you. Jesus loves you. Period. No asterisks. No notes. Just love. I wish I knew that when I was Will’s age,” one person responded.
“Dear Will, Santa does support the LGBTQ+ community because he has special helpers to makes sure they know they are loved. I promise,” another one wrote.
One person said: “That is the most heartbreaking thing. And the worst part is that if this kid is asking this, then there is a huge chance they might not be receiving the love they need.”
