No, it isn't a choice
Quote From: bridgeBeing in Australia means we don't get the same Dr. Phil Show on the same day as America but I can still relate to the messages being posted. My son is gay and the only mistake I made was telling him I knew before he was ready to tell me. It took 3 years for him to break his silence and then we both sat down and cried. I didn't cry because he was gay but because the 3 years of tension could finally be released. Then a year later he was ready to tell his grandparents (my parents). He couldn't have been more surprised or happy at their reaction. He called my Mom to ask both her and grandpa to be together on the phone at a certain time. When he called back to tell his grandparents that he was gay, his grandmother replied, "Is that all and here I thought you were calling to ask for a loan and was worried we'd have to say no." She did comment that it was his choice to which he replied that he didn't choose his sexuality.
No, God doesn't make mistakes, he knew what he was doing when he gave me the gift of my son. Your son is lucky to have you for a parent. My oldest son is gay too, and I have know since he was small that he was "different", but couldn't put my finger on it. It was tough dealing with it when I found out and made a lot of mistakes...but now, I accept him for who he is and not what his sexual preference is. I also love all his friends. Now, I believe my granddaughter, 17, is gay and she is struggling. Dr. Phil's program on gays is being shown here this afternoon and I plan on watching it with my daughter and granddaughter. God Bless.
