(537 posts)Years ago. Grew up several houses away as kids. Never knew, those days I think we assumed the gays popped out of the sky as fully grown adults. Surely your best pal wasn't gay.....
We decided to be upfront with our child about why we had split. My feelings and hope were that if we discussed this openly, someday no one else would experience the heartbreak we did as a family. Maybe our child could be the friend a person could trust to come out to. There was no animosity between us, I understood it to be a situation purely influenced by society. I couldn't quite find
my reasons then, but I knew things had to change.
I've been a full champion for equality and acceptance, so much so people speculate about me. Who cares. 3 hearts shattered in a million pieces from ignorance.
