(Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Adapted from an online discussion. Dear Carolyn: My daughter came out to me and my husband this week. We are so thankful she felt comfortable enough to do so. One of her biggest concerns is what her grandparents will think. They tend to be old-fashioned, and my mother actually said young people are choosing to say they are gay and trans because it's trendy. In fairness, my mother also reprimanded my father when he tried to say "the gays" brought all the pushback on themselves when they came out of the closet and wanted their lifestyles to be mainstream. You get the gist. We said we will stand by her in any and all situations. I told her if she did not feel comfortable telling them, then that was her choice, and it's no one's business who you date — but we will keep this from them only because it's not their business — not because it is a secret or we are ashamed. She's just now starting to date, so it's not as if we mentioned relationships before and have suddenly stopped. Anyway, should I be doing something different? Or more? — Anonymous |
