This is great (and brave) work, and I'm glad it has a happy ending. -RT Yes, there is nothing like setting the bar extremely high before temporarily swapping blogs with someone else.

With all my friends who have gay children, the one statement I know is consistent is that one about how they dread how difficult the future will be for their children. Funnily enough, I think the gay children have already faced "the future". However, they do need their parents to catch up. Maybe someday, it'll be a better world for all of us. It'll take lots of people with courage to make that happen. Proud to know ya, Mate! WOW, I’ve always wondered how that conversation goes.

I wish I had the bravery it took to ask a girl out, let alone do something as seemingly hard as coming out to your parents. But, then again, why would I come out to your parents. I'm not gay and they wouldn't care if I was. Alex, I would love to say something deep and thoughtful here, but I just don’t know how.

I just saw Grindhouse, and I laughed a whole lot in that. Junior, you just gave me one of the best laughs of the evening, which is saying something.

I'm not sure if I believe it was brave. I kind of wrote it for myself to see if I could put down accurately what I remember. As I said, I intentionally left out some stuff, and switched a few things around, but mostly it is how I remember it. And Saltine, that conversation is different for everyone. This is just how I remember mine. Everyone else: thank you. I’m not sure if I believe it was brave. I kind of wrote it for myself to see if I could put down accurately what I remember.
