Finding Out

I know there are a lot of parents out there, just got the news their son or daughter is gay. I know the first thing you might feel is sadness, disbelief, or anger. We shouldn't feel guilty for our feelings, but we shouldn't make our children feel that we are disappointed in them. I know the first thought I had is I'm going to fix him. Most of my thoughts were out of love, I thought if I pray more, read my scriptures more, do more for others, then god would take this away. This wasn't about me. Something you parents need to understand is the torment our sons and daughters feel everyday. Do you really think they woke up and said " I think I will choose the hard life, I'm going to be gay" I don't think so. I know my son prayed for this to not be something he has to go through. I know a lot of you will continue to love your children unconditional, but for those of you that think disowning them would be the best thing to do, will then you don't deserve those children anyway. Your the ones that will miss out on the great things they will do in this life. Remember Jesus loved everyone. The most wonderful thing we can give our children is unconditional love.
