A close gay friend told us some time ago that he hopes that our daughter will not be gay, because life is just much easier if you are straight. | |

| Nov 28, 2017 at 5:10 | comment | added | JSON | Start by forgetting the idea of "changing his views", but that's a different issue entirely. This is a healthy idea for a young man believe it or not provided he's only being rhetorical - take it as him expressing independence and using an extreme to make a point. But there's a difference between saying something like this off the cuff and actually jumping into bed with a hooker. Sounds to me that it was more of an off color joke than an admission of risky deviant behavior. | |

| Nov 27, 2017 at 16:38 | comment | added | Acire | Has he ever dated anybody, even casually? At 18, he hasn't met many women much older than high school, and "immature, trifling, stuck up drama queens" is not necessarily unusual for that age group | |

| Nov 27, 2017 at 5:18 | comment | added | Tas | These two statements do not go together I thought that at least he is not coming out of the closet. and I am not homophobic. It sure seems that way. My advice is to not try and change his views. He may find love one day, he may not. He may have no interest. He may be gay and worried about telling you directly. I don't see any reason to worry, and I don't see how you can convince him to fall in love with a good woman and start a family, consider his upbringing. He may be troubled by it, or not. Perhaps he doesn't want to put someone through what he went through at 4. | |
