Such a bold statement, that would pique any one’s curiosity.

It certainly did mine, for you see that update is on my son’s FB account.

The first thought I had when I saw the statement was with a sense of relief..that my son isn’t gay!
You think I am a homophobe?
Not at all.
At present, the LNP is busy trying to see if they can revoke the “same sex civil union“
As my son’s mother, I want him to have the same rights as everyone, but in this world of bigots, religious fanatics and bureaucrats he will not have the equal rights, if he is gay.
I find that difficult to accept.
So the relief isn’t so much about my son’s sexual orientation.. It is more to do with the fact that he will not wake up each morning with hatred in his heart against the world that tells him he can’t do something he wants to do, because it is against their religious/cultural/personal feelings! He already fights a lot of battles because of his high IQ..every day is a struggle for him and I didn’t want to add anymore.

I want to reiterate that I will not judge my children if they are gay. I will support them.

Back to the FB update.

I am actually scared…
He is only 12 years old.. I would have loved to not go through all this right now.. How wonderful it would have been if he just concentrated on his studies, went to Uni, finish his studies, get a job, get married..after all there is a time for everything, No?

But life isn’t going to be like a train track with destinations and regular stops..

I worry, have I raised him well? Would he be a jerk? Would he respects her? Would he treat her well?
I worry if he is going to hurt her feelings?
I worry if she is going to hurt his feelings?
I worry if both of them are matured enough to handle the issues when things don’t go well?
I wish I could say that I am happy for my son, now that he got a girl friend.. but all I feel is fear..

( PS..I know this is just a stage, puppy love..etc..but the bigger picture here is..we reached ‘that’ point.. there is no turning back..)
