@mbixler I am glad you haven't cut your son off because of a scripture. Too many people, including myself, quote scripture that instill hate for people who never chose to be homosexual. I used to be in a X-gay ministry that gave hope to Christian folk about (healing) gay people. I hated myself and went through very damaging unlicensed "therapy". I am sorry for those I miss-led. Nearly suicidal, I educated myself about how our Bible was formed through reading religious historians' discoveries over the past century. It has been eye opening and freeing. Through loving licensed therapy I now respect myself and have a much healthier concept of God and Jesus. I hope your husband has come around to accepting your son also. I never told my Dad, but he was wiser than the church. There are numerous documentaries and books on the subject of homosexuality and the many denominations that are "Welcoming and Affirming".

@david707 My husband came around very quickly once I reminded him that this was our son, whom we love with all our hearts. He is the same person we have always loved - we just know his secret self now. We all have a very close relationship now. And I am beyond proud of his sister, who knew for several years, but kept his secret until he felt safe telling us.
