How I handle comments against gays and being the mom of a gay child obviously it’s hard sometimes. It’s your child and that fears protectiveness comes out, but also I know that people aren’t going to hear me if I respond aggressively or angry, and really what I want is I want people’s mind to change and I want people to start to be more accepting. It will happen and it’s happening slowly, but it’s not going to happen by being aggressive. I try and talk, so that the people who will listen. I try and say things gently if I can and depending on how the comments were said to me. The goal is to try and keep communication even with those that aren’t positive in how they view gays, but to keep communication going because that’s the only way to get to where we want to go.
