Gay fathers, Kaleb and Kordale with their 3 daughters.

PROUD gay dads, Kordale and Kaleb posted a photo of them with their daughters on Instagram this week, like any loving parents do, before the photos went viral and the couple came under a barrage of abuse and hate.

The Chicago couple's photo set clearly show that they're a bunch of loving fathers with a perfectly happy family getting ready for school; but this didn't stop the haters.

While most of the comments and tweets have since been deleted, they generally followed any type of racial and homophobic insult possible towards the two fathers and their family.

In a statement to HuffPost Gay Voices, the couple expressed their views towards the matter.

"As far as the positive; yes we are two gay men with three kids who have no problem with preparing them for their education every morning; that comes with anything and everything they may need for school! Our kids are blessed to have three parents (Kordale, Kaleb and their Mother) who love, care and support them in every decision they have made and will continue to make as they get older. We are blessed to have the ability to provide for them in ways that a lot of people cannot for their family, which ultimately makes us happy knowing that they don't want for much! Our main objective as parents is to provide, love, educate, support, encourage, and love some more!

In regard to the negative, people fail to realize that we are people too with kids who love us. We do what is necessary for them to succeed in this ever-changing world but it's sad that we're discriminated against because of our sexuality and/or what we do behind closed doors - which is no one's business. In the same breath, we take all of what's been said in stride. The picture was put out on social media for an opinion so we can't be mad when people give just that: an opinion. People tend to think that gay people cannot raise their children to be heterosexuals. Instead, they have derogatory thoughts of us "tainting" our children or "confusing them" with what society sees deems as wrong an unmanly because we're gay. But this is all comical because people forget where a lot of gays come from: a heterosexual household."
