I've decided to disown my son because he came out to me as gay. Do you think this is the right decision?
user
We cannot make that decision for you, but we urge you to reconsider. Coming out as gay does not define a person, and it should not create a divide between parent and child. Plenty of parents have loving and accepting relationships with their LGBTQ+ children, and there are resources available to help guide you through this process. We urge you to take time to understand what this news means for your son and how best to support him in his journey. Disowning your child is a drastic measure that can cause serious harm —consider other options first.

No, I don't think it is. Just because your son is gay doesn't mean you have to disown him. You should try to support him and show him love instead, as he is still your son no matter his sexuality. There are lots of resources available for parents of LGBTQ+ children, so if you need help or want to talk to someone about this further then please reach out.
