I know that there are hundreds or thousands of families where their gay or lesbian child is accepted and loved for who s/he is. There are many more thousands of families where the child is disowned, kicked out of the house, or abused mentally and physically.
This particular video is of a normal Hispanic-American family whose son came out, and what happened afterward. The father, an ex-Marine, is built like a brick sh*thouse, but the father and mother are so loving and gracious toward their son, that this video is amazingly good. A better set of poster-people for acceptance of lesbian and gay children you could not get anywhere. Their son is cute as well (he reminds me of Justin on Ugly Betty).
It’s 15 minutes long, but worth watching.
If only all parents and adults were as rational as well as loving, lots of trauma in the world would be avoided. I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of trauma. During Advent, when Christians are preparing ourselves and our homes for the coming of the Christchild, let’s think about what kind of home we’re welcoming Him to. I’m certain that the Christchild would be absolutely delighted to go to EJ’s family homewould He be as happy to come to mine, I wonder.
