[QUOTE="chocoholic, post: 86060, member: 2964"] My youngest son told my husband and I he was gay two years ago. My instinct was to hug him and reassure him that I love him unconditionally but inside (even though I'd guessed yonks before) my heart was breaking. I suppose you have expectations of a straight marriage and grandchildren and suddenly those expectations were gone.I cried for months afterwards but as a mother you have to make a choice....you can either turn your back on your son and lose him forever or accept him for who and what he is and realise he is still the same person you loved from day one. I chose the latter. I am hugely proud of both my sons but my youngest being gay is not something I dwell on now. He is kind, clever,funny, considerate to others and works so, so hard. What mother could not be proud of a son like that? Oh and his partner is a real sweetie too. I could not have wished for a nicer young man to join our family. As for Gay Pride.....my son is such a private person, that he'd rather hide than take part in that but each to his own.It wouldn't do for us all to be the same! [/QUOTE]
