Hi guys,
Popped into the shops this morning for a few bits & saw an old friend from school, haven;t seen her in years.
Anyway we talked about things & family, kids blah, blah & she asked me about mine, & I told her I had 5, 4 sons & a girl & she asked me what they did & were they married.
So I did & when I told her my 19 year old son was a hairdresser, she said "Oh he;s not Gay is he?" & I said "well yes he is"
OMG she said, what a shock, how do you handle that? my husband would die if his son (only son) was gay.
I was so pissed, & inside my head I thought "WTF am I going to say" then I remembered something that
galesweetie once told me, something she had said to someone once in her family.
"Well it could be worse, he could have cancer & be dying, & yes his Dad has a few issues, which we are working through, but his brothers love him & except him & so do I, & he;s the most talented hairdresser I've ever seen for someone his age, & he loves me to death & Im very proud of him"
Oh of course she said, but its just strange, to think all of us at school, all those years ago & your son is gay!!
So I walked off, a little mad, but more sad really, I'd better get used to it, there are some fucking stupid people in this world ,later Jx
