Ellen is interwoven for me with my own coming out. My parents were both fans of her sitcom, and had been watching up to that point, and I knew it. I, fourteen, read in the newspaper about how she was a lesbian, and was coming out on her show, and how big a deal this was.

You do know only one Clinton was president, right? There’s no need to say Clintons. They have the same last name. Everybody’s associating them anyway.

We know you’re spying for the sloths, Mindymoo.

Haha. WOW. That time MILLIONS of people already shared this pic on Facebook, Instagram & Twitter.

Your parents are how parents are supposed to be.

I’ve done therapy. I’ve come to accept the fact that I’m good with the ice-cold queen I am.

Exactly. As a parent, the only thing I want for my children is their happiness. As long as it is legal, I’m okay with it. My son finally coming to terms with a huge part of himself rather than struggle and be sad? You bet I’m happy. It was absolute hell for him trying to be something he wasn’t. I wouldn’t wish that on…

I don’t get it either. There’s nothing worse than a parent rejecting a child for being who they are. When my son came out to me at 12, the idea of being anything other than completely positive never crossed my mind. And when I came out to him as trans two years later, he was just as accepting of me. It went both ways…

What kind of parent clings to their hatred more than their love for their own child?!

I seriously want to give you a hug, from one internet stranger to another. My God, I am so angry and sad right for you right now. I will never in a million years understand the hatred the gay community gets, nor do I ever want to. I am proud of my son. His being gay doesn’t matter a lick to me. He is a wonderful,…

I did go to therapy (the talk kind) for many years. I realized I need to “forgive but not forget”. The whole experience was very traumatic and it took me EIGHT years of therapy to unpack the years of physical and emotional abuse at the hands of my (step)mother.

I fully judge people like these. I have no reservations about it whatsoever. I don’t believe in hell or heaven, but I believe that if they do.... these types of people will be the ones burning there

It shouldn’t be a common tale though. Hating your child for who they love goes against everything in me as a mother. Everything. What kind of parent clings to their hatred more than their love for their own child?!

As the mother to a gay son, that makes me absolutely sick. Parents are supposed to be a soft place to land, your biggest champion and the people who love you the most. My son’s sexuality is no more a “sickness” than my own. I fucking love having the son that I do and so does his father, my husband. My only hope is…

I’ve learned that a lot of relationships do come with expiration dates. It’s not even worth trying force the issue. Sometimes they can be revived or take on different character. And sometimes they just get filed away for the memories.

You’re biased, not bias. I’m sorry to be that guy and you can go ahead and dismiss my comment, it just drives me crazy and I still believe I can eradicate the mistake if I correct it every time.

Every time people go on about Avery being innocent because he never hurt a fly I can’t get over the fact that he doused a live cat in fuel and tossed it towards a fire and laughed as it burned to death... and admitted it.

I’ve been waiting since November, but I expect that Christmas holidays probably add 3 extra weeks to the projected wait time. But even adding that, they could come any day (I hope!!)
