After reading this I find that what a believe in was right, People are people no matter what their beliefs are . We all feel and love and grieve the same way . Just because someone has found a life and love in the same sex doesnt make them monsters . We all need love and acceptance and a since of belonging . I only wish people would just live their own lives and let others live their the way they choose after all they had a choice why shouldnt the gay ? I don’t look at the gay and lesbians like an object I look at them as people like myself.I’am not judging anyone I only judge myself and how I live my life and treat others . I hope one day we all can live together without hurting and judging one another .

You can talk and give advice… but it is often a futile effort. Emotions and isntincts prevail over common sense and there will be little change until eventually in the distant future homosexuality becomes accepted and tolerated by the society… human race to be exact… adn thought to be as a integrated and vital part of it. Once that happens parents will have little trouble accepting that their child is gay… because it will not bring shame disgrace, feeling that the child will be deprived of something, pain, etc. as it bring in the present.

i think your writing is amazing and I’m glad someone has the strength to stand up and tell people that it’s not okay to judge other (especially parents judging their children). Thank you.

Andy, I think the advice you’re giving to parents is great, although I think you could expand it to all relatives and friends even for that matter. Many friendships are also broken up, when one comes out in the open. I just hope people’ll take this advice.

It is a tragedy that there are so many stories in the United States alone of individuals who have been denied their individuality, whether it be by their parents or their society. Perhaps, in time, the bigoted of society, like the father in the first story, will realize their mistake, if not through personal experience. then vicariously through the story of another. Love is said by the Bible to be the greatest gift given to humanity, and it seems only reasonable that, eventually, Christians will learn to practice what they preach and accept others for who they are; though it seems that day is nowhere near its dawn.

I love that these stories that were shared can give insight and courage to those of us who is struggling to come out of the hush and become part of a society that loves them for who they are.
