Thank you for being so kind. I struggles to have the last 2 of my children. The Drs said it was impossible to have them so I know that Heavenly Father gave me these precious children, and just because one of them is Gay doesn't mean that I'm tossing him to the curb. I grew up in a home where love was not shown, and my husband the same. We both were horribly abused as children. We promised when we got married that the buck stopped with us. We were not going to repeat what happened to us. We did our best we also have a son who is hearing impaired but you wouldn't know it when talking to him. I suffer from Lupus and my health is bad really bad. So I appreciate every day and every day that I can spend with my children. I almost died on 3 occasions, so my son being gay is not something that I allow to bring me down or make me walk away from the church. He still comes to church when he comes home. Supports the Grand children's baptisms, and other things they do in the church. One of his co workers told me that we raised an amazing son because he doesn't see color in people..everyone is the same. My Mother taught me that she would bring children home every weekend who were poor at our school feed them bathe them and send them home in new cloths. and this would happen every weekend. So I grew up around giving to others it didn't matter who they were. So it was natural that I passed it on to my children. They also saw the Elderly while I was in hospital and saw they had little or no visitors and it gave them great pain. They would search out our neighborhood and find every elderly person and take them food from our garden lol...we would get phone calls and I would say yes it's okay they don't want you to go hungry lol... So I have a gay son..but I have a generous Gay son who looks out for others and has a wide array of friends. He also doesn't see size of people. I have a dear friend and due to health she is severely over weight and he has never seen her as over weight. He is a good man and I am proud to stand by his side despite his preference. And I would hope that all you Mother's and Father's out there would do the same for your children. Besides they are going to be choosing your Retirement Home:lol::eek: Have a great day everyone.

Hi, I am the mother of a gay son, whom I knew was gay from the time he was about 5 years old. The Spirit whispered it to me on 3 occassions. I never told my husband about it. A few years later we moved to a different town, I became very ill and our son began acting out quite hadly. I spent a year in bed due to a broken back and in that year our son had decided he was going to follw through with those feelings. I discovered one day on our computer that he had done this and had no choice to tell his father. Of course his father said no way not our son. I then told him what the Lord had told me when he was young. That Sunday my husband took our son for their weekly hike and he asked our son and of course he denied it. His father said don't lie to me the Lord told me during the passing of the sacrament and your mother told me also. Once we knew he felt relieved and at the end of the school year he moved to the bigcity. Since that time he's grown up a lot and apoligized many times for the rude behavior on his part when I was so ill. He actually to this day still asks me to forgive him. He's applying for the Police force and has turned his life around. I have always accepted him being gay only because the Lord told me about it when he was so young. It took alot longer for his father to come to terms with it and I think he still has trouble with it. Recently our son asked us if we would attend his wedding if he married...it took a lot of prayer a year actually and councel with our Stake President who said hate the sin love your son unconditionally. That is how I always felt. So yes we will attend his wedding when and if he marries. I believe their are people who are gay transgender etc who have no choice with their lifestyle..I watched a study out of England that gave MRI's and C-T scans to gay men and women the gay men had the brain size of a normal woman and a gay woman had the brain size of a normal man. So their is some truth in the concept that there is a brain re wiring and that these sweet people have no choice but they do have a choice whether to act on it or not. They still are entitled to every right we do as far as medical and civil rights etc. They should not be out casts our son is still loved very much by the people in our ward..and so are we ...we are not judged nor is he. That we leave up to the Lord. I watched a movie recently about a woman being stoned because her husband falsely accused her of cheating on him. He did this so he could remarry she refused to give him a divorse. She was buried up to her chest and her hands tied so she could not cover her face. The Mayor of the town did not want to do this and asked God for a sign and when her Dad cast the first stones everyone missed her. The ladies cried out that is your sign...he started to sway but the husband yelled out let me and he began to throw powerful rocks that sent her backwards. Then he handed the rocks to her sons and forced them to throw them at her. They did this with every townsman having the chance to stone her. In the end it was proven he lied and she didn't need to be stoned...the Mayor was furious...who are we to cast stones ...or to judge..all I know is that I love our son and the people he brings over are amazing people. One is becoming a Dr another is a manager of a store and is just getting into an electronics business. I can not judge my son or throw the first stone..I gave birth to him..he was a miracle the Drs said I could never have him. What a choice blessing he is. My hope is that we all will be kind to each other for time is short and why waste it on battles we have no right to judge on? Hate the sin and love the person isn't that what Jesus did with the Lepers and the poor..they were the most faithful. I'm hoping all of you will be able to help me as I go down this path with my son, and that I can avoid the mistakes before they happen. I look forward to talking to you. Cheers Mom To All.
