And if their partner, "or whatever you call it", was in a car accident and in critical condition at the hospital, would you be there to offer support and comfort for your gay son/daughter?Yeah, as long as they didn't bring their gay partner or whatever you call it around.
I'm not sure what you're asking, but I don't think that when a person announces they are gay for the first time, much less to their parents, that it is just a minor issue.Why so? Please, BE specific ...I'm here to learn.
I have no idea. I may not be there in person, but I would be there for them to talk to.And if their partner, "or whatever you call it", was in a car accident and in critical condition at the hospital, would you be there to offer support and comfort for your gay son/daughter?
I think it is a minor issue, at most.I'm not sure what you're asking, but I don't think that when a person announces they are gay for the first time, much less to their parents, that it is just a minor issue.
It would not even be an issue at all to me, so he or she is gay they are still the exact same person inside.I'm not sure what you're asking, but I don't think that when a person announces they are gay for the first time, much less to their parents, that it is just a minor issue.
I always hear when people remember back to when they "came out" and they remember like all these details or whatever and it sounds like a big deal to them.I think it is a minor issue.
What about this situation do you feel makes it a major issue? Which specific parts upset you, and why?
So, your gay son/daughter is going through great anxiety, stress and agony over the condition of their partner, "or whatever you call it", and you wouldn't even go to them to offer face to face words of comfort, compassion, holding their hand, or offering a warm embrace. Instead, you treat them like the plague, offering only words from a distance. How motherly of you.I have no idea. I may not be there in person, but I would be there for them to talk to.
It shouldn't be a big deal, in my opinion. I know that any child of mine "coming out" to me about being gay would not really be an issue at all.I always hear when people remember back to when they "came out" and they remember like all these details or whatever and it sounds like a big deal to them.

I dunno cuz I don't have kids. But if it was my brother, that's about the way I would act. I may be closer to my kids if I have them though, so who knows.So, your gay son/daughter is going through great anxiety, stress and agony over the condition of their partner, "or whatever you call it", and you wouldn't even go to them to offer face to face words of comfort, compassion, holding their hand, or offering a warm embrace.

Just out of curiosity, what would those distant words of support consist of?
Because they are expecting people to react in manner similar to what you would do.I always hear when people remember back to when they "came out" and they remember like all these details or whatever and it sounds like a big deal to them.
Wow, no offence meant but its that attitude that causes the suicide of so many glbt teens because they cant change how they feel and their parents wont accept them for who they are.I would send them to a Christian psychiatrist who would tell them that such behavior is an abomination.
Im not derailing this thread by proposing what I'm going to propose.So, my question is simply: What would YOU do if your son/daughter came to you and said, "Um (clears throat), mom/dad ...I'm 'gay'?
I would be less concerned with them being gay than them ever having homosexual sex.
I think he is being facetious to point out the extremes of others.Wow, no offence meant but its that attitude that causes the suicide of so many glbt teens because they cant change how they feel and their parents wont accept them for who they are.
