If I had pulled over someone and I thought they were gay I would give them a ticket for anythg I uld thk of. Stgglg wh the fact that my son is gay and uld e advice? 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. 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.

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.
