I have never been able to understand a parent who can turn against a child purely because of who they love. I do understand parents who worry, or are even upset that their children are gay purely because of the way the world and so many people in it will treat them, but that worry, fear and upset should simply create more reasons to support and be close to your children. My daughter told me she was gay when she was thirteen and it just hasn't ever been an issue. She got engaged at Christmas and I totally adore her fiancee.
