This Guy Wasn't Allowed To Adopt A Cat Because Of His Orientation

So, I just travelled two hours to adopt a cat that desperately needed rehoming and was turned down for being gay. WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE. pic.twitter.com/XDwYELdkn7

Yes! In this day and age, a woman refused to give her cat for adoption to a guy who just happened to be gay. She shamelessly stated that his request was against her religious beliefs and that she refuses to give her cat away to a gay person.

This left Andreou so broken-hearted that he kept thinking about it the entire ride home.

Even though LGBT rights are now civil mandatory rights, there are still a couple of people who disobey these rules and give such a hard time to everyone. What a shame...

The Twitter community couldn't believe that such awful things still happen today and they were very supportive.

Is that really true or have I just entered a parallel universe where people are caught up in a previous century?

Back in the day, homosexuality was illegal and the punishment for it was severe and unjust, they used to claim that homosexuals had "hormonal problems". They used to go as far as trying to fix a person's hormones to stop them from being gay.

It came as a shock to many people who thought we lived in more enlightened times. 

I am so sorry to hear about this my dear chap. But thanks for sharing - it's an absolute eye-opener. Hope the sympathy here is some comfort

The outrage over this was definitely justified, we should always stand up for injustice, and make sure that we all have equal rights.

So now I'm on the bus and I'm sobbing and people are staring at me because the truth is it hurts as much as when I was 8 years old.

Some people claimed that Andreou's story was made up, but they were dealt with accordingly.

Followed by much loveliness from all of you, followed by the inevitable "you made this up for attention" trolling part of the cycle.

Andreou’s story got over 15,000 retweets and over 31,000 likes, and many of those people are not that different from the homophobic cat lady who broke Andreou's heart.

Now let's go back to the cat that needed a new home.

Luckily, there are still good people out there.

UPDATE: An Amazing friend who lives locally to that evil cow, is picking up the cats for me on Thursday. I am so happy.

A friend of Andreou's is picking up the cat for him from that terrible person. He is extremely happy that he will get to live happily with his new kitty.

But wait, it doesn't end here. This story is developing on so many levels.

He even decided to have some fun with the whole thing.

I may then have to festoon the cats in Rainbow Flags and send her photos. Is there a co that makes pink litter? Pride cat bowls? I NEED GEAR

— Alex Andreou (@sturdyAlex) 22 août 2017

Weirdly enough, this story ended up having way more things buried deep underneath the surface.

I have another update and it's not good news. This just in, from the friend who was getting the kitties for me. pic.twitter.com/5fSW7oVqvU

Come on lady, what's your deal.

Apparently, it's all a huge scam...

THE PLOT THICKENS! I did a reverse image search. Curious to see if she responds. Quite clear there are no cats. Just a strange power-trip. pic.twitter.com/dxxuemtzxs

— Alex Andreou (@sturdyAlex) 23 août 2017

After Alex called her out in that last text, she ended up calling him and she fessed up to all the things he accused her of. Apparently, no one is good enough for her cats.

She just called me!!! Says I'm right, she's been advertising for months and has rejected a lot of people, but only out of love for the cats.

— Alex Andreou (@sturdyAlex) 23 août 2017

Then she provided the ultimate proof that she is indeed a little slow in the head:

She also said the reason she used a stock photo is that she doesn't have a camera and all cats look the same.

— Alex Andreou (@sturdyAlex) 23 août 2017

How can you act like you're the ultimate cat lover and then say that all cats look the same!!! RIDICULOUS!

After everything he went through, Adreou decided that at this point, any cat would do. He just wanted some kitty lovin'.

The upshot is I am REALLY ready for some cat-love after all this BS. So, if in London and looking to rehome a cat (two even better), DM me.

AND FINALLY, here's the happy ending we've all been waiting for!

HELLO TWITTER. HERE IS YOUR HAPPY ENDING.

Moral of the story:

Screw bigotry. Kindness wins.

Over and out,

Freddie, George, and Alex
