My only son who is 24 has just admitted he is gay and I am devastated. We live in a country area and I am so embarrassed anyone will find out. How can I talk him out of it?
Being Gay is not something you talk someone out of – you are Gay or you are not. I am sure it took a lot of courage and soul searching for him to finally admit how he felt – after all, it is a whole lot easier to be straight and tow the party line. It’s a pity that the one person he obviously felt close enough to confide in – his mother – should react in such a negative way. Yes it’s a shock but it is hardly the end of the world. Imagine if instead he had told you he had a terminal illness or had killed someone – now that would be a REAL problem. He has to face friends and neighbours and who knows – he may not be the only Gay in the Village!
