He shouldn't be ashamed of who he is. People out in the world are assholes and don't understand lifestyles. People need to grow up.

Someday he will meet someone who will love and accept him so much for who he is and it will stop being torture and start being wonderful, because if he weren't who he is, he wouldn't be able to share his life with that person. Wish your son the best of luck from me and remind him that HE IS LOVED. Tell him not to wish to be someone he isn't, but to be glad he is who he is.

As a gay girl, I know what it feels like to want to be someone you're not. Been there, done that, except I never dared to come out to my parents until I had accepted it for myself. It will be better. You will learn to accept who you are and even be proud of who you are. I spent years wishing for every falling star, and whatever is supposed to grant you wishes, that I was straight. I'm not and I wouldn't want to be straight if I could choose now. You're gonna be contributing to making this world just that little bit better to live in, just by being who you are. By showing people that gay people and gay couples are just as normal and loving as straight one. I know how hard it is. I know what the world outside can be like. I also know you are strong and are going to get through this. Hang on for a little while; there's a world filled with amazing people - gay and straight - waiting for you. Love,

Hey, Hang in there buddy. It is a hard thing to come to terms with, just as I was diggin life and opening my eyes to benefits of loving myself I was forced back into the closet and began to despise every inch of my skin all over again. It was only until I looked in the mirror and was sick of hurting that I began to grow strong and aware. You have a mother that loves you, please don't be said and don't hate yourself, you have to many people out there, who already hate/judge/condemn you. don't be one of them. be strong! I love you! :)

I'm glad that you're a mother who accepts your gay son. I'm bisexual myself, and like him, I wish everyday I wasn't. I grew up in a homophobic environment, and I've grown to hate myself for being attracted to men as well as women. Continue to support and love your son, because that is what he needs. :)

Tell him that it gets better beyond a doubt! I have been in the same situation as him for many years, but the thing of it is that #2 is right; he'll find someone to love him and it'll make things so much better! It helps too to have a supportive family, everything you're doing for him is going to make it a thousand times easier.

As a gay male I can say it gets better. After my friends accepted me for who I am I found that I could finally be myself. And I'm slightly jealous of your situation. I am still to scared to come out to my parents and it made smile that you have an accepting mother who loves you. You're lucky in that sense. Please don't give up hope, just know, it gets better. Best of luck to both of you.
