'I found out that my son is gay and I have tried to accept it — but I can’t'
RECENTLY, I found out that my son is gay and it feels like my heart has just gone from within me. I am his dad and I have tried to accept it – but I can’t.
I heard he was gay about six months ago. When I confronted him and he answered, ‘Yes,’ I nearly hit him. He had to move out and is staying with my sister, who has told me that I should support him.I am 51, he is 20, clever and kind.

I have friends who are gay and I support gay rights – I just don’t want my son to be gay. I can’t sleep and I am very depressed. I gave my son all the money I could afford and all the love I had to give but he now says I was controlling. Maybe I was but it was just to protect him.Caught my girl in bed with another man...
