What a nice piece of journalism.

From my hometown paper.

Nice.

No agenda promotion here.

Nah.

"Parents learn true meaning of family after both son and daughter announce they are gay"

So they still have a son and daughter right?

This is confusing.

“....both son and daughter announce they are gay”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, look on the bright side. At least they didn’t announce they are in love and getting married to eachother with a baby on the way.

How tragically sad for all involved, especially any children dragged into this mess.

They probably encouraged their daughter to play sports, and their son to play with dolls. Diversity, etc.

Just wait...........The same arguments being made for homosexual marriage can and will be used to promote polygamy and any kind of group marriage.

Gay activists have been arguing it’s discriminatory to restrict marriage to man-woman couples, so that it should be just any two people. But what they aren’t saying is that limiting marriage to just two people is equally discriminatory.

It’s just a matter of time before the polygamy lawsuits come up. And then the group marriage lawsuits, with any number, any gender. The whole legal argument has been that it’s discriminatory not to have same-sex marriage, not that it benefits society in any way. So based on that, how the heck is polygamy or polyamory going to be stopped, legally speaking?

Her brother is gay, but hearing her son was shocked her.

Interesting. I wonder how much time the Uncle had with his nephew.

I know a family that experienced the same set of circumstances. It was devastating to them, but they never quit giving support to their children - and ALWAYS made sure the ‘children’ knew they were loved by their parents.

The father was a college basketball and football coach. His son wanted to take ballet lessons at age five. The mother was a homemaker who loved cooking, baking, organizing, decorating, making the home a sanctuary for her family. The daughter wanted only major sports - tennis, soccer, football, and any extreme competition.

Of course they regretted not having grandchildren - but never stopped loving their kids.

It is precisely their love for their children that makes such a situation so difficult for parents. It is very hard to see a loved one follow a self-destructive course, whether it be homosexuality, alcoholism, or drug addiction.

Those environmental factors in homosexuality begin working early on.

I suspect the first happenings will be people attempting to marry a famous animal for access to it’s money. Others may try to marry several sick people on the grounds that they need health insurance.

The first “test” cases will be about money, not love, IMO.

Is this some new-fangled way to argue for abortion-rights?

I guess something in those parents' marriage didn't exactly work.

And why don't I find the line below reassuring? My first reaction is that maybe that the school "guidance counselor" and "therapist" belong in jail, or worse, for child molestation.

Carole said a school guidance counselor and a therapist helped get Abbie’s sexuality out there and made it easier.

Yeah,they sure do. They soon realise that there will be no Grandkids. That their son may have Aids already or has a good chance of getting it. That their kids are queer,but of course they still love them in spite of it. That they go to bed that night ,but they dont sleep well for a couple of weeks, wondering where they went wrong.

Talk about brainwashing. This story is the same few lines over and over again: kids come out, parents are bothered, over time parents come to conclusion that things aren't what they expected but different is great. Repeat.
