[quote=Anonymous]We have a situation where half of the grandchildren in the family have come out, which tracks with those stats about how half of students in SLACs etc. now label themselves queer. However I have to wonder if ten years from now, half of the next generation of my family will be gay. I wonder about making a big deal about being supportive if it turns out to be a phase for at least some of them. If they change their mind later, what would it feel like to have your relatives all tell you that they always knew you were gay. I also think you might reach out to the parents having a hard time and not villainize them. They may experience grief about the vision that they had for their family and that too is valid and should be recognized.[/quote]
