What message have we been sending children over the years? When some parent's hear that their child- who is a boy- is being picked on at school most think that it will 'toughen them up' sort of speak. In a society where being gay is becoming more acceptable publicly, there are still stigmas and hate crimes committed agianst members of the LGBT community.
As a parent, What would you do if you knew that your child may be gay and is being picked on at school?

Wow, what a powerful question. My only answer here to let him know I love him no matter what. I would tell his so, but I'd also have to think of some ways to show him without embarrassing him. I think so many middle school and high school kids feel like they have to carry the weight of the world on their shoulders because their perception is that no one else could really understand what they are going through.
