To Parents of a Gay Son

Ha, the guy playing the father also starred in Yes Dear. He's pretty awesome.

As for the clip itself, it was a pretty good scene. It would be cool if more parents took that approach.

Bravo!

This is how parents should talk to their children. I had the talk with my son and his expressions of horror were comical to witness.

Your baby will always be your baby,no matter what. Nothing should change your love for your child. Although,a child with no sense of fashion would cause me to be distressed.

That was fantastic. I wish all parents would have that kind of communication with their kids.

Good on Glee for this. If one of the parentals had said the half of this, instead of what they did say, I think it could have helped.

Oh, wow. Yeah that's not how the conversation went with my family AT ALL! haha. But it ended up being better as time went by.

I think parents should talk to their kids like this about sex reguardless if they are gay, straight, a boy, or a girl. Sex is more then just...well sex, and your first time should be with someone who matters.

Such openness and maturity is as rare as it is precious. If only there were more such positive portrayals people could draw inspiration from. There may be a lot less pain in the world if there were.

I keep wanting to see that clip, and finding it isn't playable in Australia. Which is weird because I think we have the best gay kids in the world....

I do remember though when a friend of my son's had The Talk with his mother - and asked her to go tell his father in the kitchen because he couldn't face it.

Father came out, grabbed kid in a hug and said "Jesus, you think I didn't know?" and that was it. Which in restropect is only sad (but is terribly sad) because the kid never knew that dad wouldn't care and had gone through so much anxiety.

*sigh*

Breaks your heart. Even with good parents, what some of these kids have to go through.
