[quote=Anonymous]Can you have a serious discussion with them one-on-one about this? Go deep into finding out what their concerns really are, and do as much listening and drawing them out as you can. From there, in a calm and as nonjudgmentally way as you can, see if you can address their concerns. Maybe then you can calmly move the conversation to getting them to actively engage them in thinking about the effect of their actions and behaviors on your son. What is their end goal? To make him feel bad about himself? To shame him into quitting ballet, which he enjoys? If they think it's gay, does that mean they're homophobic and not progressive? So, for argument's sake, if your son is gay, will they reject him? Which relatives are these? Grandmother, uncle, cousin?[/quote]
