I have a gay son, and I love him every bit as much, if not more than I did before he finally figured it out and told me. I've known since he was 3 years old....chances are, someone in your family has already added two and two, and will be happy to know that you've caught up at last.

Being gay is NOT a bad thing. I am a late-middle-aged, conservative Catholic woman who has marched in a Pride parade and have no problem introducing my son's life partner as my son-in-law. I believe in them wholeheartedly and support their commitment to each other. How could a mother not do this for her child? There is no other way to be IMHO. And I'll bet you have some people in your family who feel the same way......you just have to give them a chance to prove it.

Be strong, and be brave....it's okay to be the person God made you to be. HE doesn't make mistakes! And if you ever need moral support, please feel free to message me.
