This quote from "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran sums it all up for me:
Wow, that's a great quote. I love that.


And since I missed the original thread, apparently, I'll answer the question, "What would you do if your child told you they were gay?" I would thank him for trusting and respecting me enough to be honest and open with me, and tell him that I'm always here for him if he needs to talk. The same thing I would do with any serious topic he brought up with me.
