Hey there, great story and I wish that everyone of the homophobias and parents who think it's not normal will read that in depth. I am a lesbian myself and found it very difficult by coming out about it, for a while I denied it and when I finally came out in 2004 when I was 18 (not the easiest thing in life) my dad told me he is happy as long as I am, but on the other hand, my mom told me she would rather loose me than accept me...and I've got speeches about it from her and about a year ago she start accepting it 100% and she handles me and my girlfriend (since September 2006) as if it's a straight relationship and it really bought us closer after I realized all that acceptance, even from my family. I promised myself to be there when ever my nephews or nieces or even children I know ever come out with it and their parents are so narrow-minded not to accept the way they are. So to anyone who would read that, remember that it's not always a choice, some people are born that way as well and it doesn't mean that if you're child is gay it would be a different person, it's your own child, just not attracted to the opposite sex and that kid needs you to understanding and support and not wanna hear how disappointed you are by him/her. Remember, being gay is not the easiest path to take, so to all homophobia's or narrow-minded people...WOULD YOU CHOOSE THE HARD PATH IF YOU COULD CHOOSE THE EASY WAY??

Mimo, wishful thinking won't resolve the fact that not everyone is so open-minded. Some people need help (a little or a lot) to cope with these kinds of issues.

I so agree with you... it shouldn't be an issue, but as varied and unique in perspective we all are, some folks have to be shown that love can triumph over any obstacle, when hearts and souls are willing.

"I can't imagine anything more difficult to handle, then the discovering your child is homosexual." I appreciate your honest discussion of this subject, but I think people shouldn't even consider this difficult to handle. I'm not homosexual myself, but can't people just accept that some people are?!?!? It's not that bad!
