[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My hat is off to you and I wish you the best. My middle schooler came out this spring. It really forced me to reexamine our social circle. Mostly unbigoted folks who I would have labeled allies before, but amazing who said they didn’t understand my acceptance! It’s crazy how anyone could be “unaccepting” in 2018 (and yes, we’re religious).[/quote]

Most of the time it is not about accepting/non-accepting. I don't want to know about your middle school child sex life. I don't want to know about your sex life. Period. This applies even to my closest friends and family members. This is regardless to your sexual orientation. Stop discussing this with people, and people will be more accepting.

Nobody is discussing their sex life, much less a middle schooler who does't have one.  But people should stop asking about boy/girlfriends and crushes if they don't want to hear about it if it's a same sex crush

You sound like a bigot.  At best.[/quote]

Are you telling me that your friends or neighbors or colleagues asking your 12-14 years old about boy friend or girlfriend? How often did this happened? I am raising three kids between middle school and college age. No one ever asked me about their boyfriends/girlfriends other than two of my closest friends. And even with them, I would not discuss my kid's sexual orientation. It is not that I am not accepting or ashamed that my kids are straight, it is because it is not appropriate subject for discussion. [/quote]
