What a great post AAAAA !!!

Mouse, I couldn't have said it better then AAAA's reply. How wonderful of you to keep the lines of communication open with your child...so many parents don't or won't.

My daughter is gay, as is my brother and other extended family members, so I have seen and heard many examples of parents who completely disown their child at a time when they needed them the most.
One father went as far as kicking his 17 yr. old daughter out of the house, but not before he wiped all the door knobs, etc. anything she touched off with lysol saying he didn't want "fag" germs in his house .

She was and remains a caring young women who I think came to peace with her dad on his deathbed.....at least I hope so, for both their sakes.

I too can't believe that people actually think sexual orientation is a choice. Why would anyone want to choose a lifestyle that if they don't keep quiet, will result in ridicule and pain from any number of sources.

I too will get off my soap box, but thanks to both of you, and all the others who have supported and continued to love people in there life any others (my daughter too ), regardless of their sexual orientation.

Take care everyone!
