Supporting gay children and the "coming out" proce

[The Colonel]

This thread will probably attract negative attention; however, I feel it is an important thread to contain within a parenting section, since statistically 10% of parents will have a gay or bisexual child.

So, this thread is for parents with gay/bisexual children, or other relatives and friends of gay people. Also, it can be for gay teenagers/adults to ask and talk about their experiences/worries/problems etc.

Essentially, this is about gay children “coming out” and other issues relating to the same (e.g. prejudice your children face) etc.

This is for sensible discussion and bigots can stay well away.

I invite people to share their experiences.

The people who are able to come out to their parents it is a very brave thing to do. Something I will never I am ashamed to say I do not think will ever happen in my case because I am too scared.
