thank you for this thread..

i have a 17 year old son who came out almost 3 years ago now..
he obviously has a supportive mom, and of course my side of the family is supportive.. however, he's having issues with his father and his side of the family..

he's openly gay, even at school... lucky for him, he is soo accepted and yes, i breathed a sigh of relief.. i was petrified when he announced that he was going to come out with his friends.. i'm so so SO proud of him, for being so strong & being who he is.. of course! i only worried about the possibility of bullying..

i appreciate all of the sites listed here.. we'll be going through them, as my city doesn't have much for gay youth, sadly.. so very happy to find this thread :-)

I crossposted this to the breaking news thread because I think it's pretty big news that the president made one of these videos, but I wanted to post it here too.
