Just that-my son has told me via email that he’s gay-hes always known but didn’t want me to be angry with him

I’m just so proud of him!i got the news cried and told him now proud I am of him-gay/straight/bright green-I don’t care-he’s my boy and I will always love him and then I cried some more

Son-i couldn’t be more proud of you
You have grown into an amazing young man and any fella should be so proud to call you his boyfriend

He said it was ‘like the dark cloud had been lifted’ there has been a lot of tears in our house tonight but he’s my baby-I birthed him fed him took him to his physio appointments and brought him up-and never stopped loving him-and now I’m even prouder of him than I’ve ever been xxx

I bet he's gone to sleep tonight feeling truly loved. Wish there were more stories like this. You are a fab mother. Thanks

Poor thing - that he felt a cloud. :(
Without sounding trite, I hope it is all rainbows from now on!

Thank you that means a lot-he did say this has been the best day of his life-he is who he is-being fa doesn’t change anything-that’s such a small part of the amazing lad he is xxx

My dd told me when she was 16, she is 21 now. I had always had a feeling she was, only me and her sister know, none of the other family do.
