I would have gotten an "extra" son if and when he found his "person." If my son had told me he was gay, l would have loved him no differently. My son was not gay, but I lost him at age 15 to suicide. He is strong! He is loved by so many! Never give up! You MATTER!!! Here is a letter from a mom who lost her son:ĭear Annie: I would love to tell "Riley" that he is brave. I am printing it so that the other Rileys of the world know they are not alone. Everyone Deserves a Momĭear Everyone Deserves a Mom: Thank you for your letter. If Riley needs a surrogate mom when he turns 18, please pass along my info at that point. These should be the best years of his life. I hope this family gets counseling and finds healing because I don't believe Riley deserves to spend his teenage years feeling this way. I love them because they are gay and that is a part of who they are and a part of what makes them perfect and beautiful. I don't love my children in spite of the fact that they are gay. I loved my children the day they were born I loved my children the day they told me they were gay and I will love my children every day, because I am their mother. The way these people are treating Riley, quite honestly, just seems cruel. You are changing the mindset that you have had about your child for his entire life, but you need to work through that and always love your child. I understand that when you find out your child is LGBTQ, it can take some adjusting for some parents. No child should be made to feel unloved by their family, especially by their own parents. I am the mother of three (out of four) gay children, and this letter broke my heart. May your letters comfort any child who doesn't feel completely loved and accepted by their parents for any reason.ĭear Annie: I am writing to you in response to "Riley," the gay teen who wrote to you because, since his coming out as gay, his parents have decided that he is no longer invited on family outings or welcome at relatives' homes. Dear Mothers: Thank you so much for loving your children unconditionally.
