Moms: would you accept your son being gay?

[Mitch]

I'm a guy that just graduated high school. Their was a lot of likes and comments that were good. When I go to my local football game. Some of my high school friends that are still in high school saw it and ask me if it was a hack and if i was gay. I told them it was a hack and they were glad that I'm not gay. I am not sure if I did the right thing. I came out by this status
" I have something important to say. I'm gay. I am what I am and it's time to stop hiding it.
I am still the same person I was before. I know that many people will not recognize this, and I will
probably lose many friends. Many of you will say, "I knew it!" on the subject of my being homosexual. But those claims were made with no legitimate proof, and coincedentally I really was gay. But now it's time you should all know-- for real. I do not find every male I see attractive, so don't flatter yourselves.If you don't like me for being gay, or if it has made me lose your respect, please delete me from your friends list. I don't need to deal with hateful people like you. Bye and thanks, everyone."
I had a friend that told one of my friends about the status and i wasn't aware of it. The told friend asked me why I have two facebooks and I said it was my coming out account. She said that she knew because of her friend. Will the word spread that quickly? The only problem now that is remaining that my parents dont know that I'm gay yet. I would keep it a secret but if I have to. I would tell my mom about it but I dont want her to tell my dad. How could I bring it up to her in the house without my other family members hearing it? Can I talk to her face to face about it or could I bring it up with a text message or a note? Is it possible to tell another adult about this like a church staff member. I e mailed a woman who worked their 2 months ago and told he i want to tell her something private and she says that i could talk to her about anything or one of the church people. Its been two months without telling her, but now I want to tell her. I dont want to tell my mom without being prepared about it. i am ashamed by it a bit.
I dont know any gay guys, I am the only gay in the family, I will loose a couple of friends, and I heard stories that the parents throw out their gay / lesbians sons and daughters. I am not ashamed by that but afraid of the future. I have a crush on a guy during the last semester. I friended him on facebook and said whats up and responded " not much" Only that. It was some random guy I saw in my lunch period. He is one grade lower than me and he's black athlete that played football this year. I think he also played basketball also. I had some weird situation when he came into the place where I was working at and he played some basketball in there. Yeah I think i still like him, but it wont work out.

99% of parents would be fine with this. . . Being a parent teaches you a lot about yourself.

I would for sure! I even talked about it with my boyfriend, i said if sawyer ends up being gay you will love him and support him right. and we both agreed we would.. i mean he is our son! your parents will love you no matter what,and accept you for who you are. and if they do have a problem with it, something is wrong with them, not you!

I would love him no matter what. He is still the boy that I got up in the middle of the night to feed when he was a baby, still the little boy I taught to ride a bicycle and comforted when he had nightmares. I want him to be happy and if being with a man instead of a woman makes him happy then that's enough for me.

You are not alone. There are a lot of gays out there, who were afraid to lose some friends along the way when they declared their true being, but it's not the end of the world. What is important is you accept who you are and that is you. Don't care about what other people would say or think, anyway, they don't feed you. Your life is your own and you know what you want and what can make you happy and at peace. Those who can't accept you are not your real friends. If, I have a gay son, I will have to accept that, bcoz no matter what he is still my son. As for some family memebers who can't accept that fact, don't worry just give them time, soon they will learn to understand you and will accept you for being you.

I would love my daughter if she was a lesbian and I'm 12 weeks pregnant right now and if its a boy if he was gay I'd love him and support him too. Its not a ugh I love u anyway thing its a I would love u equally either way! Hopefully the world is starting to change where u won't have to be scared on how people react. Just keep in mind those who are important in our life and will make a impact will support u through comming out. Those who don't screw them!!!!
