I am Catholic and don’t agree with the homosexual lifestyle, but this is her son. Despite his public announcement, she needed to talk to him in private and tell him she doesn’t believe in how he is going to live his life. Then she needs to tell him that she still loves him regardless. Pushing her son away is not going to help. Let him know you don’t agree, but pray for him, love him, and be there for him.
I wish the homosexuals would understand that many straight people find the very idea of ‘being in a relationship,’ with someone of the same sex is disgusting.
I am not talking about it being a learned response via Bible teaching of religion. I am talking about it being a genetic, visceral response.
While they claim they can’t help how they feel, well a lot of straight people can’t help how we feel either. It’s genetic and how God created us.
Should she have restrained herself from hitting her adult son? I guess so, but speaking to him later in private likely would have ended the same way. He came out in public, she rebuked him in public. Her son likely escalated the issue by going all activist on her.
He could have walked out of the family get together, he chose to stay after his ‘coming out,’ expecting it to be HIS party. He had to know how his Mom felt about such matters. In fact, that is most likely why he chose a public outing thinking he would avoid her wrath. He likely was too stupid to have had a bail-out plan and kept pushing her to accept that which she abhors.
Like all the times we read such things, it is the ‘gay’ person who creates the circumstance and then the rest of us are supposed to just accept it. And the press just goes along with making the son out to be the victim here, when I feel it is the son who disrespected his mother, disrespected her home, and grossly underestimated his own mother’s natural feelings.

_______________
a mite passive aggressive and attention-seeking of him to disclose at a large family event.
No, she needed to tell him IN PUBLIC that his behavior was unacceptable and self destructive.
