Quote From: clutterer11 I do not think it is a choice at all nor do I think that it is changeable. First as a parent I had no clue about my son's orientation, call me naive. He does not nor has he ever displayed characteristics that society stereotypes homosexuals as having. Secondly my reaction was what is called "normal" for most parents when their child "comes out". As I said, I am thankful that I went to counseling to understand my son better and to keep my relationship with my son - who is one of the most important person in my life and who I love very much. I believe that homosexuality is biological - genetical or hormonal. It saddens me that society treats homosexuals so badly. Maybe that is why I grieved the way I did. I could forsee society persecuting my son for being born as he was. I do not just accept nor just tolerate my son, I love my son wholly. I feel that every child deserves that unconditional love from their parent. Very well said and I wish the best for you and your son. I agree 100% with your last sentence and I believe it is the best gift a parent can give their child - to know they have unconditional love - I believe mine know it. Thx for sharing your story.
