I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a
lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire
a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight
through the painful, tear-filled nights.

We are the parents who buried
our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died

Have you ever wondered how you will handle it if your child tells you they are gay? I mean for me, I will accept it & still love them just the same, but I feel I won't be able to relate to them as well as you would - what do you think about that?

Well, being gay myself, I don't see myself fathering any children. However, I do want to adopt children, and if they confided in me that they were gay, I would obviously be very supportive of that right. I mean, it'd be a little hypocritical if I didn't, right?

I am not saying you wouldn't be supportive - don't get me wrong. Hmm........let me think of how to re-phrase this. I guess what I am saying is you would be much better equipped to handle that situation than someone like me who has no exposure to it, besides the media & the people I meet. I guess I just wonder how I would go about handling it besides being loving & supportive - like if there was something else I was supposed to do & had no clue.

Oh, okay. Yeah, I think, depending on when he came out, I would tell him what he should expect with everyone, but let him know that he should never be allowed to feel like his worth is in question. Even if everyone else turns their backs on him, I would still be there for him.
