You embrace
Fears
But shun
Your gay son

You embrace
Life
But not
My "lifestyle"

You embrace
Publicly
But loathe
Me privately

I embrace
Your ignorance
But spurn
Your rejection
Coming out is a mixed bag for everyone. My parents were jerks about it to put it mildly. I'm over them and the process and hope others see that life is too **** short to worry about eyes, skin, weight, height or sexuality. Only the judgementally religious, deeply insecure and the salaciosly gossipy seem preoccupied with the sexuality of others! Get over yourselves! ;)
