I had no ia he was gay, I found out by walkg on him wh another boy. I keep wonrg why him, why do he have to be gay. Accintally found out 12 y/o son is gay.
EARLY SIGNS TO TELL YOUR CHILD IS GAY
When he was younger we had spicns he would turn out gay, so we always showsed our support so we knew he’d be fortable if he was, but once he h puberty was clear he was to girls, always talked about them, never showed tert boys romantilly, and started datg a girl a few months back. My 12 y/o is a sweet boy, but we (largely due to stereotyp, which you n blame on ), never spected he was gay. His boyiend’s parents know they’re a uple, and his boyiend is openly gay to their school as well.
He’s been askg some more qutns about dynamics a gay relatnship, and also been askg about gay history (he’s a very smart boy).
My son me out to me as gay and I don't know how I n support him. He told me he was gay. He explaed how he's known he's gay for que some time now, and was aaid to tell me for a long time, but felt pelled to tell me know now that he feels more fortable.
IS MY SON GAY OR IS A PHASE?
I'm not exactly fortable wh that liftyle, and I am strongly agast gay marriage.
Although no way am I for gays beg nmned for choosg to pursue their liftyle, I simply believe marriage should be between a man and a women. I've had an klg that my son was gay, although I was scerely hopg I was wrong.

We live a very nservative state, and homosexualy isn't really as accepted here as other more liberal areas such as New York or California. My entire life I've believed that homosexualy is wrong and s hard for me to accept this. Go to askgaybros.
Found Out My Olst Son Is Gay, And Has A Boyiend. I simply searched "ask gay" and I got here. I've strongly spected sce his early teens that my son is gay, and I now more or ls have nfirmatn that this is te and that his "iend" is actually his boyiend.
So when a 38-year-old sgle dad accintally saw that his 13-year-old son had been lookg up thgs along the l of "I'm gay, what now, " he was nflicted. The fellas at r/askgaybros were happy to share their put. Another suggted the dad let his son "e to you wh this, " suggtg t he meantime, he start beg discretely supportive of LGBT matters, by "[makg] a posive remark when gay marriage is discsed on tv, pliment(ig) a show for their clivens of LGBT characters, etc.
