writes:My son is 17, and came out as gay to us 2 months ago. Me and my husband have no issues with his sexuality.He's in college, studying business systems, and is doing very well.It's his choice of partner that's worrying us though - he told us he's dating this 39-year-old man he met in McDonald's. He said to me that this man's feelings for him are genuine and they're a proper couple. The next thing however, shocked us even more than the age gap - our son told us that the man is a councillor in the next village who is well-known, married, with 3 kids, one son and one daughter older than him by 5 years, and one a 5-year-old boy.He told me the man said "he didn't want his wife and kids any more and wants a proper relationship with him."We asked him why he's dating someone this old, not to tell him who he can/can't see, but out of concern, and he said "it's cool, you'd love to meet him!"Despite this relationship, he's not neglecting his academic work, he's still doing really well at it, we're just worried he'll get emotionally hurt/bullied.Having never dealt with anything like this in our life, how should we deal with it?cheers

reader, anonymous, writes (2 November 2009): I am almost positive I have read this post word for word almost a year ago.
I am wondering now if this is for real.
You do what you want to do about it, but it is your son's life, he's making a mistake, I feel concern for the man's wife and the fact that she is now at a high risk for STD's not to mention a rude awakening some day in the future.
That said, I think this is a post designed to get people wound up.
I have almost a photographic memory and I remember reading this very well and responding to it then...and it got numerous posts...
So Aunties don't waste your time on this one, and Mod please check the web address and see if there is any abuse going on....thanks.
