What would you do ... ?

If you found out your best friend's "child" is gay and they were afraid to tell their family?

My best friend's adult child is gay and my friend is wondering why he doesn't "bring a nice girl home to meet them". >>> My nephew goes to uni with him and is fully aware and accepting of his boyfriend. I have attempted to broach the subject with his mother and she shuts the conversation down.

You know she doesn’t want to accept it, yet you goad her with, “maybe he doesn’t want kids.” Leave her be. She probably has dreams of marriage and grand babies from him, and it’s very hard to lose long held dreams for our children. Just be a good friend, and be there for her, if she needs you. Other than this, stay out of it.

I was not goading her because I didn't know her son was gay > when I said that to her. I found out two weeks ago. Sorry if that was not clearly stated 🙂
