Son is gay

[MamaCathy73]

Hello,

My DS is 16 and he is gay. He came out a few years ago, and DH and I have done our best to support him since. We are, and always have been, tolerant towards everyone and their sexual identity. However, our son recently accused us of being anti-LGBTA as we did not want to attend Pride with him. While we wanted to support him, we are vulnerable and are scared of Covid, so because of that, did not go. How should we deal with him? He is very upset with us, and our efforts so far have not worked.

Thank you!

Are there other smaller events that you can attend with him? Depending on where you live, there are family LGBT get togethers, dances ect.

It seems like he is wanting public support from you? Maybe it's different for him to support him privately but then publically show it too?

As pp said, are there some other events that you can attend together?

He's being a typical teenager, if it wasn't this it would be something else. Covid is very active at the moment.
