    But that is what I am trying to say, life is very tough no matter what your orientation, this just makes it a little tougher because of the prejudice.

    I am not worried that my husband will be angry but he will be upset initially like me and I think that is what is upsetting me because I am having to keep it all to myself and I haven't got anybody to talk with about it. Which is why I came on here and boy for the most part it was a massive mistake.

    The majority of people who have replied ( not all) have twisted everything I have said and made me out to be a complete !!!!!.

    Once again I love my son no matter what but nobody can come on here after first finding out what I did and say it made them overjoyed to find out the information.

    With all due respect people don't see why you would be so shocked you've not eaten or slept for two days. He's been exploring his sexuality be thankful it's not something far worse.

    From where I sit you're focusing on the wrong thing.......it matters not a jot what gender he's having a fumble with (which is what your thread is about) but that his drinking more, under pressure and unhappy.
    I have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it'll be with a knife :D Louise Brooks

    Seriously, what were you expecting? Pink shirt, hands on hips, a secret tattoo rendition of the moment when Liza slithered out of Judy in a bejeweled catsuit?

    I don't care.
  • You likened finding out your son may be gay to when you found out that you may have cancer - there's no twisting that.

    Again you are misreading me, when I had the recall I was in a Tate of shock, I had been so nervous about the mammogram and it was a breeze, i was telling everyone there is nothing to be frightened of. However, when I got the letter I was so frightened and was sick with fear, luckily it was all fine.

    At the moment I feel traumatised, I only found out yesterday and I am still in a state of shock but hey I am getting over it because the majority of you have totally hacked me off. I came on here for someone to talk to, the majority of you have slated me for just being a concerned mother. Talk about prejudice, you are the prejudiced ones, I am upset and I may not have articulated my feelings very well but all I wanted was someone to talk to, I hoped that maybe someone who had gone thorough a similar experience may come on and talk to me but all I got was for the most part a load of trolls and by that I mean nasty vicious people.

    The Gays. You're lowering the bar and raising the curve. How are we supposed to continue the stereotype that we're all successful overachievers if we allow you to stay?
    i prefer the gays with Crystal champagne or Dom P!rignon in the fridge lol

    you have been very prejudiced , your suggesting that your son has exhibited no signs of being gay but as of yet have not given any explanation to what these signs are. i will chat to you and talk to you but you treat people the way you wish to be treated and as of yet you havent really given people any reason to be anything other then annoyed .
