dbst, that is the parent you are going to be if your kid comes to confinde in you about his/her sexuality.

I am a guy who is married to another guy, this is what I am. That was how my parents accepted me. Don't tell us what YOU think about how OUR parents would react.

Actually I really didn't want to jump in this discussion seeing cublas holding this fort brilliantly, but suggesting somebody to hide his sexuality and making him to believe what he is doing wrong is not acceptable.
