wow... there are 95 comments at this point, and I just dont have time to read thru them right now, although I probably will later... but as for the parents that are promoting the open and accepting environment... this is how ALL parents should be regardless if they have possibly gay children or not... phobias and intollerance are learned behaviours, and they affect much more that people could possibly realize.
If more people were like your friend, and promoted tollerance and understanding, the teenage suicide rate with be dramatically lower, as well as the incidents of hate crimes and generally ass-hatery.
Next time you talk to them, tell them "thank you" for me... something that seems to small, really can help change the world and make it a better place.
