Sorry, but I cannot hold my tongue regarding the response above from Empireapple. I’m glad to hear you think being gay is no big deal, perhaps progress is being made in gay rights. However, never tell a person, gay or straight, that they are not unique or interesting! It sounds as though you are not gay, nor does it sound like you have a gay child - as your response is quite flippant and dismisses how very difficult it is to come to terms with being gay and to come out to family and friends, even today. I’ve experienced this with my child first hand and it is a gut wrenching, life altering experience for the child and the parent. The experience can be liberating, yet full of fear. It’s a powerful moment and it should be respected. If the original poster feels the need to write about it, then they should. My own child did and it was a powerful piece of writing.
