Heartbroken

[valarltd]

I'm having a Debbie moment.

My Extra Kid got kicked out of his parents house.
What kind of parent throws their barely 18, non-self-supporting, carless, not-yet-out-of-high-school child out of the house over movies!

He rented Monster with Charlize Theron and watched it privately. The Gay Quotient of the film finally tipped the balance over, and his father gave him the boot. He has until the weekend. They know he's gay and have been working on him. The only thing they haven't done is sent him to Love in Action.

He has a place to stay, and he knows my futon is always there too.

But I just want to shake his folks. They have a brilliant, funny, wonderful boy and all they see is a hell-bound faggot.

Since he is not sexually active, there is no choice to hold him accountable for.

I disagree. Being a gay male entails a great deal many more choices than merely choosing to take the dirt road home, just as being a straight male in our society entails choices: How you talk, how you dress, how you walk, how you socalize, how you behave, how you entertain yourself... Many of which might embarrass your straight-laced parents--who decide whether or not you live under their roof once you are an adult. Many of which might get you beat up or killed if you dare cross certain people in certain settings.
