Gay son

[Sim1903]

My son thinks he’s gay. He said that he does not find women attractive. He’s never been with a boy before. My husband doesn’t want him to be gay. I don’t know what to do, how does he know he is?
please help anyone. I’m not sure how to handle this.

its depend how old is he. I’m gonna be hated for my comment i think. But its from my own experience with my sister. She is gen Z. She is 18 yo right now. And when she was 16 she really think she is a lesbian. Me and my parents open and fine with it. And now she says she is not and have a boyfriend. Turns out nowdays being gay is apparently cool. She said she wants to be gay because its cool 😓😓😓😓. Yeah being gay somehow its a trendy thing these days.

if your son is an adult then he must be think that way. Please support him. You cannot do anything. But if he still teenager just let him be. He will find whatever his sexuality is.

He’s the same person irrespective - just love him as your son. This is who he has always been, the only change is your knowledge.

You said ‘how does he know he is’ … in the same way you know who you’re attracted to. I knew I liked ‘boys’ before I even kissed a boy, my best friend knew she liked girls in exactly the same way.

The only thing you need to "handle" is your dh's attitude. That is the only issue I can see here.

I hope your DH has kept that to himself

Your husband doesn't get a choice.

It's your role as parents to accept and support your son.

start by telling your husband to fuck off

Does it matter if he knows he is? What's the worst that will happen if he is gay for a while and then isn't?

The big issue is you're married to a homophobe and you have to decide whether you can put up with that.

Not that your DHs feelings matter in this..
But if your DH is just in shock with unexpected news (although not realising your child is gay in this day and age already speaks volumes for how close you all are to your son.), perhaps you could speak with him and find out why he's upset. Because surely there's no reason to be upset. You want your son to be happy and live the life he wants to live. Well if he's gay then he needs to be free to be out and gay. And he needs your aacceptance. Anything your husband objects too is really just homophobia or at the very least ignorance.He needs to educate himself. And he needs to be on your sons side. If he isn't then to be brutally honest, people are going to think he's a massive a hole.

If he thinks he's gay it's probably because he's gay. Your husband can do one.
