Message to All Parents and Gay/bi/lesbian/transgendered Teens
My first hand thoughts on the whole ordeal.
Well lets see, Im 19 years old right now and I have never been with a man, nor have I ever really “kissed kissed” one niether. On the other hand I have had intamacy with other woman (or 2). I have no interest in men what so ever and I am clearly fine with that. I am happily in love and (though young) engaged with the girl of my dreams. Being young and attracted to the same sex is such a whole new ball game in life. Your a child in a world of war, confusion and influences that inpact your life daily. Not to mention the household you dwell in; your parents might abide by a rule or religon or just a strong gut feeling of how YOUR life should go. This isnt my way of saying that all teenagers should rebel against parental adviseries; no, this is just me saying that in life there are hardships and in life you only live once. Parents should love there children for who, and how creative and free loving they are. Teens: if you know deep in your heart that you wanna be with a partner of the same sex then do it. But be smart about it! know what you want in life and learn how to a custom to what todays society views as acceptable cause dont worry; change and acceptance will come. Parents:It is harder for you because as soon as your child is born you already fantasize a wedding and grandchildren. But know that it is YOUR dream and what you need to realise is that all you really can do in your childs life is: love, protect, teach, guide and help them accell into making ThERE dreams and happiness come true. The best way to have a enriched and happy relationship with your child, is to understand them. It doesnt hurt to listen, pay attention and learn from them every once and awhile. The world around us is growning in ways of technology and socialy. Sadly there is so much hate towards Gay/Bi/Lesbian/Transgenderd teens everywhere and sadly some of those teens are either hurt by others or hurt themeselves. Parents, the qestion is do you wanna be standing beside your child or against him/her with those who inflict hate upon your child? When truly the only crime we are being confronted for is loving differently….Teens/Parents, if you strongly agree with this please, pass this on.

God does not “hate” period so you got your whole biblical knowlege all wrong buddy. Its a shame u feel that way about people who are different from you. Perhaps one day with good faith and trust you can have a change of heart on how you view people (and not judge).
thanx for the comment!
it's me again...lover

You are exactly right girl we get hated on so much and Its all because of how people were raised or is it just the fact that maybe they aren’t sure how they want to live there life and are just to afraid to express themselves the way we do. There are more gays, bi’s, lesbians and transgenders now than ever before but yet the rest of the world that isnt is only hideing it. We are no different than any straight person in this world other than the way we love an the fact that we dont judge others.

My child ( 26) is gay. I don’t approve of his lifestyle, but this is his choice. I do not care to meet his partner nor do I care to hear what my son and his partner are doing in their daily lives. I love my son and he will always be my son but the part of his private life I have no interest in.
When we speak (he lives in Oregon) on the phone I ask the same questions, how are you, how’s work, etc.
I thing I believe people are born gay, I don’t think that being gay or lesbian is a phase or choice. This is just my opinion. Also only mt other children knows their brother is gay. I always said that if someone asked me about my son I would just jump in and tell them. I feel friends kind of know but they just don’t ask. To me it’s kind of obvious. But he is happy, and I guess that’s all I can hope for. Thanks for listening. S

There is nothing wrong with gays/lesbians etc etc. We don’t bother you about being straight do we? So why bother us!!?? Gays never caused wars.. but guess who did… people fighting about god. So Shut it. Yeah i know you believe in it… that’s not the point… gays etc don’t bother you about believing in god, they just ask to be accepted!! So judging us is a VERY bad idea. Understand? Good!

I have two lesbian friends who are into relationship. Theirs is of equality, means, “no one acts like a man”. I admire them both for showing to the world their affection. They have a son, though. And their helper is a gay! Their lifestyle is a revolutionary one. There is nothing wrong with it.
And GOD does not punish them. God loves diversity!

Sue- my mother is reacting almost the same way. its the most difficult thing in the world to not share a major part of my life with my family. I don’t think it ever gets to a point where it stops being awkward but its unfortunate that you have distance yourself from your son’s life. Baby steps are critical but if even you let this part of his life in a little, tolerate it at least, the experience will make you so much closer.
Best of luck

your message is so nice im 19 years old gay from philippines and i just hope that people who are not aware of this should have th same thinking as you are.. when i was 15 i engaged in a relationship i loved him somuch but people are trying to disgust us so we broke up and then i feel so lonely after that.. now i try to fix things up and think positively in my life.. its like i am always prohibited to give my love to someone and ask Him for guidance and acceptance.. i know someday they will understand and for the parents just love your son/daughter just like i do to my mother, she’s the only one left in my life.. now i’m in tears…

I”m a transgender teen, and I can speak from experience that nothing is more of a gift than a supportive parent. I hope soon we can mend that gap between the two generations.
