Title: How do I help my son acknowledge his lesbian sister?

it. Good, let's talk about that today on tips on teens. My name is Kent Toussaint. I'm a licensed

I jump into Facebook live to answer your parenting questions. Let's vault into today's. My 19
year old daughter just came out to the family as gay recently. It was kind of a shock for all of
us. We didn't see it coming. My younger son is 14 and is having a really hard time accepting it.
He's been gentle of short tempered around the house, passive violent, spending a lot of time
in his room. I thought I raised him to be reveal and tolerant, but I guess he wasn't ready for this
yet. What can I do to create some harmony?

Speaker 1
So thank you for your question. I envision harmony would be that all four of you would be lov

How to Tell My Family and Friends I Am Gay

No matter what your relationship is with your parents or other significant people in your being, coming out can be nerve-wracking. It is, however, a rite of corridor and ensures that you do not have to have to spend so much time and heartfelt energy hiding a massive part of who you are from some of the most important people in your life. Whether you are expecting rejection or acceptance, telling your family and friends about your sexual identity is an important step. Still, many people want to know how to reveal my family and friends I am gay. Here are some suggestions to make the process easier:

1. Consider your audience&#;s comfort level when talking about sex.

Sex in general is a taboo topic and sexual orientation falls under the umbrella of sex. Considering your audience&#;s comfort level on this topic will help you judge how to approach your audience. If you intend to tell your parents about your sexual culture, just from being raised by these two people you will have an idea about their comfort level when discussing sex-related topics. If you are talking with your parents, this doesn’t mean you should hold back. Rather, this is a re

Question

My sister and I have never really gotten along. My nerdy and analytical ego has contrasted her affectionate and sensitive one for our entire lives. Though our relationship has never been perfect, everything&#;s spiraled downhill since she enrolled in a local all-girls&#; Catholic school. While I was originally happy she found a community that suited her need for camaraderie, the ideals this institution enforces have destroyed my perception of her. In her freshman year, her cheerleading squad bullied a lesbian teammate so viciously, she left the school. The school decided against persecuting the bullies. This past semester, she and her friends discovered a classmate&#;s private social media page, in which he was out as a trans man. After realizing their discovery, the student begged them to keep it a private. They refused, and outed the student to the administration and his group, resulting in his expulsion. Obviously, not every pupil at this school behaves in this manner, and I&#;ve met plenty of my sister&
How to Handle a Sibling Coming Out
A couple of years ago, a colleague of mine came to work looking very haggard. Concerned, I asked him what the matter was. He told me that his sister had just ‘come out’. I didn’t get the term at first, asking him what she had come out with. He gave me an almost desperate look and then said, “Dude, she just told my parents and me that she’s a lesbian.”
Needless to say, things didn’t go well after that. The girl’s parents were horrified. They berated her, cried, screamed and generally tried to earn her to see the ‘error of her ways’. Eventually, they threatened to kick her out of the house and smash all ties. When she didn’t relent, they followed through. However, to me, what was most intriguing was my colleague’s reaction.
He told me that he was shocked at first. He hadn’t had any inkling that his sister was attracted to other women. But as the recriminations continued, he came to the realization that he loved her regardless. It wasn’t easy for him to accept it, but, when his parents told her to depart, he told them that he’d be going with her. The siblings spent the weekend looking for a place to reside and then moving in.
