Gay children: Why did they have to tell us?

[janick1967]

what a level headed and wonderfully rational message to tell parents faced with this. I've raised my daughter to know that love in all forms is acceptable so she won't ever have a problem if she is gay. She knows already that i will love her and support her no matter what. If more parents told their kids that being gay won't change a thing and that it's perfectly normal to feel that way then the whole coming out thing wouldn't even be a blip in their lives. Well done Rob. I applaud you x

[RobNorthampton]

@AussieGeoffA I'll second that :-)

[alicialynn00]

What an excellent message. I am not a parent, nor am I homosexual. But, I do know what it is like to put everything on the line in hopes of being accepted/loved by others. I think in a way, we all know that feeling. It is through that filter that I hear this message; empathy. We humans are all really more alike than we are different. Thank you for posting, Rob.

[RobNorthampton]

@alicialynn00 Thanks so much for watching, and for the positive comment, AliciaLynn! If more people were like you, kids wouldn't have such a huge problem coming out!

[DanielR305]

Remember you have not failed him or brought him up wrongly not too like women etc it's within us gay guys fr a young age. Remember u have done nothing wrong as dad at all remember that Dan

[RobNorthampton]

@DanielR305 Thanks for your "advice" Dan. If you'd watched the video instead of commenting on the title only, you'd have seen that I AM one of those "sites online that give advice on how deal with your sons coming out etc."

[DanielR305]

You clearly finding it hard too accept yr sons sexuality there are many sites online that give advice on how deal with your sons coming out etc.

[DanielR305]

Your son wanted to be honest with u because 1 he's your son and 2 he loves and respects u or did u bring him up too lie in which clearly didn't

[TheMcgreary]

YAY an owner of a video replied to ME!!! THAT'S RIGHT! HE LOVES ME MORE THAN THE REST OF YOU LOOSERS!!!

[TheMcgreary]

Mr. Selleck is that you?

[RobNorthampton]

@TheMcgreary I wish I was a penny behind him! :-)

[GispatchMusic]

Hey rob. Im 20 and came out last year, my parents have been having a REALLY shitty time coming to terms with me liking men. Thank you So much for making these videos, as there Is a severe lack of Educational LGBT material for parents.

also, biggups from northampton!

[RobNorthampton]

@GispatchMusic I am just happy that you found some use for them. Thanks :-)

[deathikilled121]

<,< i need to get out of this side of youtube but youtube pulls you in

[RobNorthampton]

@deathikilled121 Aw, and there I was thinking it was my addictive personality ;-)

[drakeybabe]

Im gay, i told who i thpught wad my best friend at school she said i could trust here and now shes told loads of people, i hav people askin me omg r u gay amd laffin, my pareents found out by reading my messages, my dad hates gays he said they should all b shot, im not close to my family at all, ive thought about suicide many times and have been close to doin it, i cnt trust any one, im so scared, what do i do :'(

[RobNorthampton]

@drakeybabe Please, whatever you do, don't contemplate suicide! You have one life, and it could be a great life, but if you end it, you'll never know. This may be a dark chapter that you're going through, but it's not the whole book.

You have been unfortunate that you had a gossipy girl friend, who took your juicy titbit and ran with it. I hope she's happy now that she's made your life so miserable! What should you do now? Do you know a teacher or other responsible adult who you like? (cont)

[RobNorthampton]

If you have at least one person who is on your side and will look out for you, it makes things that bit easier. As far as getting your parents on side, it can sometimes be a long process. If you can, choose the parent who is likely to be more understanding, and when they are in a calm mood, get them to watch the feature video on my main channel "To Parents who Discover their Child is Gay or Lesbian"...

[RobNorthampton]

Learn all you can about your own sexuality so that you can answer any questions they have intelligently and confidently. If you just know that they would never sit down with you and discuss it, just try to keep a low profile until such time you can move out. If you feel you are in danger, don't suffer in silence! There are foster parents available through your council who will care for you until you are old enough to care for yourself...

[RobNorthampton]

Do a search online, or ask at your local council for local support groups in your area. Most towns run some kind of counselling or drop-in centres these days, but they are not often widely publicised.

Remember you are not alone! There are millions of us out there, and many who are willing to support you in any way possible...

[RobNorthampton]

It's difficult to write a complete answer to your problems on this message page. If you want to write me a private message through my main page, you are more than welcome. We can thrash it out together somehow! Keep your chin up, mate! :-)

[SusanBaudelaire]

@drakeybabe Don't be scared to ask for help. I'm not gay myself, but I have friends who went through the same thing you're going through. Try an find a gay/straight alliance club in school or just somewhere that excepts you and can help. I go to a United Church of Christ Church and it excepts homosexuality. So, that's another kind of place you could go too. (not saying you have to go or that you have to conform to my beliefs, it's just all I know to help you with)

[idaman12345]

@cymrutroll and you probably wonder why you never win parent of the year

[edwardheal71]

Thank you for being honest, For me it has been a diffucult process but time is a great healer.

[RobNorthampton]

@edwardheal71 I'm sorry to hear that. I hope things continue to improve for you.

[MrIanzander]

yes i agree, but will it blend?

[RobNorthampton]

@leizzor And long may the trend continue! :-)

[RobNorthampton]

@leizzor You and I are of a similar age, so we have seen the amazing highs and tragic lows of gay awareness and liberation. Bigotry and homophobia still keeps millions in the closet. The more people that come out, the harder it is for society to ignore or pigeonhole as a minority with no value.

[TrueNovice]

@cymrutroll You's send your son to Mars because he was gay? I think you meant to say your'd send him to Uranus? No?

[RobNorthampton]

@cymrutroll With you as a parent, he'd probably go of his own accord.

[parkourDrew4745619]

@RobNorthampton I need help! I'm 15 and I want to be a girl. I want the clothes, the make up but most importantly I want acceptance, not through my mum or dad as I don't live with them and I dislike them... but I really won't go on about that. I want acceptance through my sister and my aunt, they're are the one's I hold closest. I'm extremely frightend of being rejected so I always hesitate to to come out. I can't keep living in this fake life but I don't want to be made a fool.

[RobNorthampton]

@parkourDrew4745619 Hi Drew! I couldn't get all I wanted to say into this comment box, so I made a video for you, and others like you. Check out my channel page and it should be the featured vid. Good luck for the future, my friend! x

[5thgendirector]

@parkourDrew4745619 Just do it, you'll find no regret. Although things are hard now but it gets better, you're just 15, first 1 - 2 years maybe an uneasy road for you but in time, you'll know, friends and family who love you, they'll accept you, they have to.

[parkourDrew4745619]

@5thgendirector Thanks for caring :)

[actuarygirl22]

Thank you so much for posting this. My girlfriend still has not come out to her parents after knowing she was a lesbian her whole life and us being together for five years now. Her mom is very religious and her dad is homophobic. We have attempted to tell her mom before, but she flatout denies it and says that we are just friends. My girlfriend has rationalized they don't need to know, but I think your video displays why it is necessary for children to be able to share this with their parents.

[RobNorthampton]

@actuarygirl22 Thank you. We only have one set of parents, and most parents want to be a part of their children's lives. For that reason, and to bring the family bond closer, honesty is always the best route. It's an unfortunate fact that some parents refuse to be educated about sexuality, and stick to their misinformed ideas no matter what. All your girl can do is to try again, and hope they will come round, albeit slowly. Check out my latest vid on my channel page which deals with the same.

[RobNorthampton]

@cdg2289 What can I say, Dewight? Unusual name by the way! :-) Thanks so much, and I'm happy the vid was of some use. Because of a lack of education, and the fear of the unknown in our society, homophobia is alive and well. The more gay people that come out, the better it is for all concerned, because it means more people are exposed to us regular joes, and they realise that we don't come with horns and a three-pronged fork!

:-)

[rocalifen]

I remeber when I was 11 and I used to like a guy in my school. One day my dad asked me about "that girl" that I liked so much, he asked me "her" name and I responsed with some fear but courage (proud of my fucking self) I said: "Scott, his name is Scott." Well, I have a fissure in my left leg cuse of his "educational lesson" that day. He still thinks Im straight, apparently I am I mean... but Im not. LOL

[RobNorthampton]

@rocalifen I'm so sorry to hear your story, Rudy. So many men see a gay son as somehow a reflection on their own masculinity, and just can't handle it. The world is changing, but sometimes it seems painfully slowly. I'm assuming you still live at home. I hope that when you find your own place that you will be able to build bridges with your father. It is so sad that any parent can ostracise their own child for something the child has no control over! Good luck for the future, my friend!

[rocalifen]

@RobNorthampton Ye... I still live with my father, and ye the world is changing as you said, soooo slowly, whatever, is changing. About my father... he is the kind of man that is so selfish and agressive so in anyway it was quite normal his reaction hahaha! Nowadays I laugh about it, I dont have a good relationship with him but he is my father so I try to respect him. Once I leave this house Im gonna live as I want. thats a fact. Thank you very much sir! Nice to meet people like you.

[lgarvey]

If they announce they are gay, you can enlist the local priest to do an exorcism.

[RobNorthampton]

@lgarvey Your comedy skills just flatlined. Don't quit your day job.

[Samaale10]

@RobNorthampton HI you are lovely man. Love ur eyes and mustasch. Iam flattered.

[RobNorthampton]

@Samaale10 Thank you very much. It's very kind of you :-)

[MrSchoondog]

@lgarvey  fuck you

[lgarvey]

@MrSchoondog No thanks.

[MsKaddelz]

thanks ;)

[MsKaddelz]

ouh .. i have to tell them ..

Fuck im cyring :((

[RobNorthampton]

@MsKaddelz You have my very best wishes. I hope everything runs smoothly. Good luck! :-)

- Rob x

[magicissocruel]

You are a lovely, respectful man. I thank u for this video.

[RobNorthampton]

@magicissocruel Thank you very much, and thank you for watching :-)

[disposablefreedom]

Thiers no such thing as normal .....It's only the setting on a washing machine... :)

[RobNorthampton]

@disposablefreedom True enough. :-)

[LittleTownInNorway]

Respect old man!

[RobNorthampton]

@LittleTownInNorway Thanks, young man! :-)

[TheBerylfly]

BTW, It has just occured to me I went out to Internet, caught a person whose only fault is he happened to be intelligent, understanding and thoughtful (great sense of humour, too), and am telling the said person the story of my life.

Just for the sake of history record, I am not usually going around whining, it's just... well, let's just say I felt so much relation to your videos I made an youtube account specially to thank you. And it's really hard to bottle it up all the time.

[RobNorthampton]

@TheBerylfly I don't know what to say, except thank you. Thank you very much. I am honoured. Only you will know what is best for you. If it's any consolation, my parents would make offhand comments about gay people on TV etc. when I was young, so I formed a similar opinion to you. I put off telling them until I had my own place because I was worried they might have thrown me out. I couldn't have been more wrong! Once I came out, I no longer had to dodge questions and tell lies, which I hated..

[RobNorthampton]

Like many parents, they were happy if I was happy, even if they didn't quite understand it all at that point. I spent the next few years educating them about human sexuality, and they became my greatest supporters. Because of homophobic society, people are not taught about sexuality and so have to rely on gossip, hearsay and untruths. If religion is thrown in the mix too, it can be doubly hard for LGBT people to come out to their familes, but luckily, my folks weren't very religious anyway.

[RobNorthampton]

If you ever do decide to tell them, be prepared with answers to questions they may have. Don't get angry, and give them time to adjust. You may find that they will find some kind of relief at not having to guess and wonder what is happening in your life, and you will all be able to come together as a family once more in a spirit of truth and honesty. Check out my video 'Parents Speak Out in Support of their Gay Children' After youtube dot com, paste /watch?v=IN19ytNYke4

[RobNorthampton]

I wish you and your partner the very best in life, and hope you can find some peace and happiness in your situation, difficult as it is.

[TheBerylfly]

Thank you for you support, really.

It's just I know they will still love me, but will also be really, really hurt. Though they are not exactly homophobic, but their opinions have slipped sometimes and I know just what it would be to them to realize I am not a normal girl who will eventually have normal family. For them, just knowing I won't be married by the age of twenty five was already a tough one.

[TheBerylfly]

I love my family to bits. So when I accepted my sexuality, I didn't want to hurt them. Right now I am about to have a child with my long-term girlfriend. It's a big step, I would like my sister to go all oooh, my dad to give me some advice and my mom to be a big happy granma, like with my brother and sister. But all of them still think us to be good friends who live together because of convenience and economy reasons.

You know, it feels like crap.

[RobNorthampton]

@TheBerylfly My heart goes out to you. I'm presuming that you have not come out to your family as yet. You should be proud of yourself, your partner, and your baby. While you are living a double life, you will never know how your family will react. At the moment, you are unhappy. You may still be unhappy if you tell them and they have a negative reaction, but at least you'd know. Or, they may just get used to the idea, and give you the love and support you crave and obviously deserve.

[TheBerylfly]

You sir are amazig, truly amazing. As for ccgwhatever guy, he is either a troll or complete ignorant retard. Either way, leave him alone.

On the subject

[RobNorthampton]

@TheBerylfly Thank you very much. He is just one of a long line of trolls that have graced my channel. It is their own ignorance that shows them up, and sparks reactions from other people apart from myself. I try to answer everyone who comments, but sometimes, I just know I am wasting my time ;-)

[notblondeswede]

...nothing?

[RobNorthampton]

@notblondeswede "...nothing?" In relation to what?

[ccg3332]

i'm sick of gays and if my son turned gay i would beat the living crap out of him, then put him in a brutal camp where he gets straightened up

[RobNorthampton]

@ccg3332 Nobody "turns gay". They come that way. So your "remedy" would accomplish nothing. He would still be gay, and would either leave you forever or possibly add to the long list of child suicides. Either way you'd lose your son. Let's just hope he was born heterosexual, for his sake.

[0verdose666]

@ccg3332 That's because you're a dumb ass and eventually your genes will be leaked out of the human race eventually and people like you will no longer be something the rest of us have to tolerate... 1- Learn how to speak and write the English language because your lack of grammatical correctness is disgusting. 2- Learn how to be a good parent because you are obviously anything but. 3- If you can't handle your own child's decisions then don't have any.

[ccg3332]

@0verdose666 your queer rage is quite amusing but you're clearly not in command of the english language. is it too much to ask from you beaners to learn the language of the country you've immigrated to?

you seem very confused buddy, homosexuality is a result of genetic infiority and it's your pms induced whining that proves why queers are ridiculous and don't deserve to live

[infinityontherise]

@ccg3332 Wellllllll i dont think you deserve to live mate! I mean FUCK! Remember that thing you learned in about 3rd grade called , the golden rule? basically telling you not to be a hypocrite? Well , using that logic. I can say , you don't deserve to live. Simply because you wished that on someone else. Ohhhhh and also , sentences start with capital letters mate. Don't hate on someones English when yours is flawed as well genius.

[mrldutch93]

@ccg3332 well your stupid as fuck!!! It doesnt matter wtf camp you sent him to he would still come back gay.

[501poundmiget]

@ccg3332 lol, to a concentration camp right? i thought germany didnt want people to think they were still nazis. so much for that idea.

xD ur fucking pathetic man.

[WtfTrhpeanut]

God bless you, sir. I agree wholeheartedly that anyone would be honored to have you as a father.

You are an amazing person.

I'm emailing this to my dad, in hopes that he will finally listen and understand what i've been trying to get though to him since i came out.

[RobNorthampton]

@WtfTrhpeanut @WtfTrhpeanut Thank you for your comment, and I hope it helps :-)

[rcenzo]

God Bless you and thank you for making sense of it all..

[scorand]

wonderful vid . you really nailed it

[RobNorthampton]

@scorand Thank you for watching :-)

[scorand]

@RobNorthampton yw.. i look forward to wating more of your vids

[nilsoner1]

I want you to know that you are amazing!

[RobNorthampton]

@nilsoner1 I don't feel very amazing, but thanks for the vote of confidence! :-D

I hope life is treating you the way you want it to. :-)

[broomhall23]

@mrfaithful sorry, your a victim of religion! Which automatically makes your opinion about as welcome as salt on a slug which incidentally is what you are! Can't help but wonder though, what kind of religious nutbag goes looking at videos to do with gay people? And if your answer is to 'guide your fellow man' then I don't think hate is guidance and your not religious, so I guess your just left with 'being a loser'!..sounds about right!

[alteregobetty]

@RobNorthampton

Thank you once again for this. Anyone would be proud to have you as a dad!

[avesraggiana]

@MrFaithful69 Oh, this really Christian. Very Christ-like of you, buddy.

[cunningire]

Anyone would be honored to have you as a dad.

[RobNorthampton]

@cunningire Thank you very much. That's very kind of you :-)

[MrFaithful69]

“Whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.”

2 Corinthians 4:4

[RobNorthampton]

@MrFaithful69 Is this what you do? Just drop bible quotes on people's videos? I mean, what's the point?! Don't you have anything useful to say yourself?

[avesraggiana]

@MrFaithful69 Please keep your Bible to yourself. Your judgemental, un-Christian attitude is not wanted here.

[cunningire]

@MrFaithful69 Judging is God's job. There was nothing in the Bible about homosexuals before recent translations. Please realize that telling people they will burn in hell only hurts you.

[MrFaithful69]

@cunningire - I am not judging anyone. I am merely telling all the lesbos/homosexuals that if they don't repent they will burn in hell, a bible truth!! If you don't agree with the bible then seek a different religion homo.

[avesraggiana]

@MrFaithful69 You have a real problem with homos and lesbos, don't you? Is there something you need to let us all know? Could it be you're feeling really conflicted about having homosexual desires yourself? Could it be that you could see yourself having sex with any other man, and enjoying it? That's your "Choice" right there, whether to act on that urge or not. It's not a choice for me. Having sex with a woman is something that would never even enter my mind.

[avesraggiana]

@MrFaithful69 Yeah, I’m for real because evidently I’ve actually read the Bible and you haven’t. And that’’s MR. FAGGOT to you.

[MrFaithful69]

@avesraggiana - ya buddy i have a real problem, its homo fags like you! that is my problem. You fags try to explain the bible so it fits your homosexual lifestyle. REPENT and you might not burn forever!

[avesraggiana]

@MrFaithful69 And you'll be burning Hell right next to me for being judgemental, unkind and very, very un-Christian. Your behaviour was not was Jesus had in mind when he came to spread the Word of God. And just as you advised another poster, I have sought another religion that has nothing to do with your Bible and your Christianity, and EVERYTHING to do with Jesus and loving God.

[MrFaithful69]

@avesraggiana - 2 words for you----> Sodom and Gomorrah! Sin was homosexuality!!!

[avesraggiana]

@MrFaithful69 You obviously haven't read your Bible that you so love to hurl at other people. The people of Sodom and Gomorrah were punished by God for not showing hospitality. And guess what, when the townsmen threatened to rape Lot's guests, angels disguised as common travelers, Lot offered up his virgin daughters for gang rape instead! How's that for a loving God in your beloved Bible?

[MrFaithful69]

@avesraggiana - you stupid ignoramous! you dont know shit so shut your damn mouth! Enjoy your anal sex in eternal hell you FAG.

[avesraggiana]

@MrFaithful69 Well, who knows you might enjoy anal sex and oral sex too. And you don’t have to go to Hell to do it.  And you don’t end up in Hell FOR doing it.

Your hateful attitude is actually kind of quaint -- queer even.

[mneunbamboon]

Tom Selleck? :P loljk

@mneunbamboon I wish I was one dollar behind him! ;-)

[mneunbamboon]

@RobNorthampton I bet!

[philippetje]

You sir, you are one amazing person! Respect!!!

[RobNorthampton]

@philippetje Thank you very much for the comment! Have a good day!

:-)

[pingpongking98]

Do you recommend coming out over a text or email or should you come out face to face to see how they react?

[RobNorthampton]

@pingpongking98 You don't say who "they" are, when you say, "see how they react". If it was merely a school friend, you could maybe message them in such a way. However, if you mean your parents, you really owe it to them to be there personally to answer any questions they may have. Stay calm. Don't get angry. Tell them how you know that you are gay. Read all you can so you are prepared. Watch my other coming out videos on my channel page so you feel ready, and show them too if needed. Good luck!

[pingpongking98]

@RobNorthampton I meant my parents. Thank you so much!

[RobNorthampton]

@pingpongking98 ok no problem. And by the way, I wouldn't ever suggest telling 'friends' by test or email, on second thoughts. They can backfire on you and be sent all round school! Just saying. I wish you well! :-)

[RobNorthampton]

*text, not test. Sorry :-)

[Melist9]

My parents do not even know...

I doubt I will ever tell them since they don't even understand what regularly happens in my life.

[RobNorthampton]

@Melist9 I'm sorry to hear that. It's sad when parents don't play an active role in their kids' lives.

[HardstyleSubscriberz]

@RobNorthampton You know Rob, i'm 18 years old now, iv'e been out for about 5-6 years with my parents, and after watching this video, I can honestly say, one of the best and most impactful ways to come out, would to just start this video off, and walk off :) What an amazing talk.

[RobNorthampton]

@HardstyleSubscriberz Thank you very much! Coming out can be one of the most stressful things a gay kid ever has to do, so if I could ally the fears of parents even one iota, it was worth it. :-)

[TwilightBinners]

Wish my Dad thought the same :(

[RobNorthampton]

@TwilightBinners I wish too, Dan. Take a look at some of my other coming out videos aimed at parents. Maybe you might get him to look at them one day. Good luck with everything! :-)

[TwilightBinners]

@RobNorthampton Oh you don't know my parents :/ Just watching a news report about how Brighton Pride was a huge success gets my Dad cussing and slurring all sorts of homophobia - and this even after I told him :/ cant wait to move out, guess not everyone has accepting parents - who needs em' :)

[RobNorthampton]

@TwilightBinners I'm sorry to hear it, Dan. I hope you manage to build a bright future for yourself, whatever the setbacks. Maybe flat-sharing with a friend/friends might be the answer. My best wishes go with you!

[alteregobetty]

I cried my eyes out when i listened to this..im Bi.. i ave a girlfriend for three years..my mum knows and loves me for me , i havent had the guts to tell my dad..im terrified how he will take it and now my brother is threathening to tell him and is making it all so difficult. Im not a kid im in my mid late twenties...a late bloomer as they call it. All i want is to be able be myself when i go home..im with an amazing girl and it breaks my heart that i cant share that with my family. :(

[MrFaithful69]

@alteregobetty - you should cry your eyes out because your going to burn in hell if you dont change your lesbo ways.

[alteregobetty]

@MrFaithful69

Wow.. u must have had alot of important stuff to do if you felt you had to comment on a post i placed 7 months ago !Go spread your poison somewhere else, Your nasty judegements and opinions will not make any difference here. You do not know me, or my life, and whatever is between jesus and i will remain that way. Its nothing to do with you, and your opinion will not make any difference to that. Enjoy being bitter my friend!

[Atomikguy]

You put this so eloquently. It is pride weekend in my city and I'm looking back on my life and decision to come out 16 years ago. I wish I had this as a resource. You should be proud of yourself and your parenting skills. Luckily for me, I had a similar reaction from my mother. Society hasn't always been so kind, but her support has made me strong. We appreciate parents like you.

[Atomikguy]

So eloquent in the way you put this. It's pride weekend in my city and as I reflect 16 years after I came out, I wish I would have had this as a resource when I was 21. Very good father you are.

[ironcolossus4]

maybe u've heard it.. but i wished u were my father! or at least that my parents were more like u...

[RobNorthampton]

High praise indeed! Thank you very much! :-)

[eljiah]

good stuff! if all people were able to think like you, the so called "coming out" would be so much easier to gay people...

[RobNorthampton]

Thanks very much Elijah. All we can ever do is try to change one person's perception at a time. :-)

[eljiah]

yeah, you're quite right. my brother's gay and i was the first person he hold that he was gay. we have discuss that many times and came to a conclusion that the fear is all because of the society and how much pressure it puts on NORMALITY, although, apparently 10% of the male population is gay- which, once again... apparently is normal. how would you define normality though? is that what the society wants you to be, or is it what you are confortable with? kinda tricky one, isnt it? all the best!

[BeatBuddy]

The more people there are who are willing to exercise courage, the less need there will be for courage to be exercised.  ---Lord Bertrand Russell

[HandyMan101]

@eljiah normal is defined by what the scientific purpose of a vagina and penis is.

if your sexual activity involves penetrating a poop chute, then that is far from the normal.

[rcenzo]

@HandyMan101 How about a pee chute, and your mouth???

[SergioSource]

@HandyMan101 well then gtfo the computer, go to some wilderness naked and get some food

[NextMrsBradPitt]

@HandyMan101 And yet lots of straight individuals engage in anal sex... Peculiar.

[whistonlass]

Again, you've represented faithfully the difficulties parent and child can face during the time of "coming out". Much wisdom, Bob. Thanks. Jacquie x (proud mom of a gay son)

[RobNorthampton]

Thank you Jacquie :-) x

[Gigolo8]

Very Wise for both children and parents.

[kensington25]

Totally agree. Sound advice and it makes a lot of sense. Kids don't come out to hurt their parents but to be honest with them and often to get validation from them. Great points x William

[RobNorthampton]

Thanks for the comment William. I think I only have one more short vid to make on this theme, then I'll gladly let it rest. LOL More 'social commentary' type stuff in future, methinks, :-)Rob x
