My son is a 26 years old. When he was 19 he told me and my husband he was gay. I can't say I was in shock, but it was very hard. My husband has had a very hard time understanding. I know their are a lot of you out there saying just tell him to love him. Yes, easy word but hard action, when he had all these dreams of what the future would be with his only son. It had nothing to do with love, but it had everything to do with understanding. I knew the hardest thing for me is I wouldn't have grand children from him. I don't know how god and all that works out but I don't really think about that, I know god is full of understanding and love. The one think I really can't stand is the people that go to church all the time(not all people), thinks that gives them full reason to judge another human. I think I must have missed that scripture that says "Judge everyone that doesn't have the same beliefs as you, make them feel worthless and ashamed of themselves" We all have our beliefs and that is fine but don't make another feel like they are not meant to be here in this life because they are different. I think president Hinkley always tried to get everyone to see that.
