Tom HuntfordSupporterYou have to go back to the Scriptures for how to treat this. This person is your child--but they are first and foremost a person. A person who is accountable to God. #1. You have to settle the doubt of who is first in your affections--God, or your family. Kids are a wonderful blessing (I have 4), but they must not become idols. You have to put both your feelings and their feelings as second place to God's feelings. The only question that matters is, "What does God want?" If that hurts you; if that hurts your children--that would be nothing brand-new to God's dealings with mankind. The goal is not to "keep pleasant relations with your children". The aim is to please and glorify God. Jesus told us that the faith would separate between closest relatives: "For I am appear to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law."

Gay Like Me

Being gay is a gift, Jackson writes, but with their gains in jeopardy the gay community must not be complacent.

As Ta-Nehisi Coates awakened us to the continued pervasiveness of racism in America in Between the World and Me, Jackson’s rallying cry in Gay Prefer Me is an eye-opening indictment to straight-lash in America. This book is an intimate, personal exploration of our uncertain times and most troubling questions and profound concerns about issues as fundamental as dignity, equality, and justice.

Gay Like Me is a blueprint for our time that bridges the knowledge gap of what it’s like to be gay in America. This is a cultural manifesto that will stand the test of occasion. Angry, proud, fierce, tender, it is a powerful letter of love from a father to a son that holds long-lasting insight for us all.

Father opens up about coming out to his 3 sons: I'm still the same dad as before

"Good Morning America" is featuring stories in celebration of Pride Month. Scott Takacs, a 46-year-old and father of three, penned a personal essay about his experience coming out as a gay man to his sons. Scan about his journey below in his own words.

Coming out at 42

I was 42 years old when I came out to my wife. It was 15 months later that I started that alike conversation with my three boys -- 9-year-old twins and an 11-year-old.

The whole experience is somewhat of a blur, mostly in part to the truth that at that point in my life there was a lot of change happening and some significant pent-up emotions. There wasn't much of a plan, no guidebook in hand, only goals that I hoped my boys would start the process of sympathetic and accepting their dad for whom I truly was: a gay man.

It had been a long 15 months since coming out to my wife, an experience I unfortunately wouldn't characterize as positive, pleasurable or something I ever want to repeat. It was wrought with the happiness of finally telling the closest person in my true identity, while simultaneously ripping her
