 Adam - I am so sorry that you feel that your mom has stopped loving you. As a parent of a gay son too, I can understand what your mom is going through. I had to go to counseling, because I had no clue about my son's sexual orientation and felt a great grief of losing the future life I had forseen for  my son and for seeing a quite different life for him. I choose to go to a Christian counselor, not a priest(I was rasied Catholic) and was suprised that the counselor offered me great relief and comfort. I could not see my son choosing to be gay, and I always felt that he had a good heart. Have you suggested that your mom go to a counselor or to contact PFLAG for support? Let her know that you love her and that she is hurting you deeply and that you need her to be your mom. I am ashamed that I hurt my son in my reaction to the revelation of his orientation. I am grateful that I I found the strength to do what was right in seeking counseling. My son, you, and everyone who has struggled over years alone and then to be condemn for your honesty with the revelation your sexual orientation has my compassion. Just remember that there are many people who care for and love  you, including your mom and me. Please post back to let me know how things go for you. I truely want to know. You are in my prayers.

i am personally more concerned that you think this a simple choice. i am a bisexual who didn't have any problems coming out to my family. i know that i didn't make a choice to be me. i just am. remember that we are who we are. we are born that way and will more than likely always be that way. be strong and love yourself.

I applaud any open gay men and lesbian women. I admire your courage and strength to take on the world and being comfortable with yourself to be able to tell the world who you really are inside and out. I respect your descision and think its great, I myself am not gay or bisexual even though I've had my share of experiences. I truly am ecstatic to tell you how glad I am. I wish you all the best.

I have Gay friends and what I once told one was that you first have to accept that you are gay..secondly you have to want to change, especially if you are a christian seeking to go to heaven. Also, no sin is greater than another....someone killing thousands of people is equal to someone who is a homosexual....thats the way God see's it..as far as why people are gay comes with different background stories..some people were either raped by opposite sex or same or some people were influenced to be that way..I personally do not look down on homosexuals and never will..its a spirit like all other spirits..and people can be delivered from it..if it anyone knows Donnie McClurkin, gospel artist, he was once gay BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD he is a hetersexual still standing and believing in God. I will not ever tell a person to stay in that place in their life but I will say do like let people mistreat you..God still loves you like he loves everyone else but he is awaiting at the door of your heart hoping you turn your life over to him..God bless all readers...

 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.
