Definitely, and this is exactly what I have been doing. It’s been an area he’s struggled with for a while, as he does present in some of the clichéd type ways, and so was bullied for being gay long before it was ever a consideration for him. So I’ve always been very much, I love you whatever and we’ve embraced his ways and laughed together when appropriate.
He’s been spending a lot of time with one boy so I’ve even popped in the odd lighthearted comment using the word boyfriend, not teasing as such, but in the same way as I would say boyfriend to his sister about someone she’s texting a lot or whatever, so he knows I think the same either way. Like so if he used the word boyfriend, it wouldn’t be a big deal.
Oddly enough, son has refused to see his dad since I wrote this post and it does make me wonder if it’s connected. I never even considered TV programmes, I just thought, well they never go out so he won’t have been exposed to his attitude.
