Colton Haynes celebrated Father’s Day yesterday by sharing a bittersweet and heartfelt post about his late father on Instagram.
Haynes shared a photo of his pops along with the caption: “Smiling knowing my Dad is in Heaven dancing with my mom for the 1st time in decades. Happy Fathers Day to all the Fathers out there.”

Haynes’ mother passed away back in March. His father, William, committed suicide by swallowing 40 oxycodone pills when Haynes was just 14 years old.
How about we take this to the next level?

In 2016, the 29-year-old actor told OUT:
“I was told that my dad killed himself because he found out I was gay. So, of course, I lost it and was like, ‘How could you say something like that?’ And no one will ever really know the truth. But my brother and my mom went to pick up my dad’s stuff, and the only picture on his fridge was my eighth-grade graduation picture. So I was just like, F*ck.”
Sadness aside, Haynes and his dad bear a striking resemblance to one another:

I doubt it was his mother or anyone that really mattered that said that to him. Kids are cruel though.
MacAdvisor
I have known grieving widows to say some incredibly cruel things.

I wonder if the mother was pissed because Colton’s dad was bi-sexual and she took it out on Colton….perhaps Colton got more than just good looks from his dad; maybe he got his sensitivity from him as well.

Sad and cruel, So young to have no parents. I wish the best for him.
QueerTruth
Queerty is pretty disgusting… They pen an article (based on an instagram post per usual) and the story itself is sad and pathetic.
YET what do they focus on. His drop dead (literally dead) father who may have killed himself because of Colton was gay. WTF!!!!
Shame, shame, shame.
These writers are a disgrace to journalism and twisted over sexed freaks. You are damaging the LGBTQ community. Please stop.
