[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is gay.  I knew for awhile but we never discussed it.  He talked to my wife about it and told her "don't tell dad, he'd be disappointed."  We don't keep secrets from each other so we shared that.  My wife told my son that I would be proud of him no matter what but still he hasn't brought it to me.  I've spent a great deal of time with my son and always drop in things as we talk about a variety of subjects that should give him all the indications that I support him no matter what and I am very pro gay rights (marriage, etc) and my sister is gay and we are extremely close.  My question is should I just take the initiative and tell my son that I know he is gay and that I have known for quite some time (even before my wife confirmed it) or does that create a different problem - trust broken with his mother?  I would certainly tell him that I've known for a long time but he would most likely just attribute it to his mom breaking his confidence.  Any thoughts?[/quote]

I was in a similar situation, except I was the parent who knew. During a lighthearted moment with dc, I told them their Dad knew everything we'd discussed and that he was 100% supportive and completely cool with everything, including being left out of the conversation. Dc was relieved and thanked me. [/quote]
