My son is the kind, gentle, and responsible person. At 15 years old he declared himself gay. He showed no real tendencies for this for most of his life. My wife and I are religious and my son is still religious, but at the same time he is a kind, gentle, responsible, and religious gay person. It is hard in my selfishness wondering what my grandchildren from him could have been like. But that is my only sadness today. We love him he is a good man and a good citizen who cares deeply about people. In college I knew a football player on our team. He was open about his being gay with people he felt he could trust. About 1/3 of the team knew including the coach. He was a great field goal kicker and person, so to me the rest didn't matter much. Strangely though I ran into him many years later at an airport during a bussiness travel. He became a professional player and did a lot of carity work. I surprised to find that 15 years later he was married to a woman and had two kids. He said he realized he was experimenting in college, and when he met his future wife he realized he could love and be attracted the opposite sex. He says he's been monogomous since. There is allways change in life. One never knows or can control another person Your post was some time ago and hope all is peaceful with you and your son and the others who have responded. I feel all people are met with various trials in their lives. Its really seeing each trial through that offers us a chance to become more humble and a little more pure in how we treat each other.
