I am very, very happy for both of you.
I wish I had had parents like yours, (-( but life isn't the same for everyone...

Some things have changed.
Just look at the network of information and support now available.
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Some things have not changed, though. And through this we must never forget that "coming out" is not always easy, and does not always produce a comfortable result.
When you and I were thir age, marc, Gay Lib and Gay Pride was in its infancy, and yet very necessary. "Out and Proud" was viewed by many as essential. It was a war. One I chose to be a conscientious objector in out of self imposed necessity.
Some of us have family or religious or neighbourhood issues which prevent us from acting. Oddly the wealth of infomration available can ever hurt one who cannto act, because he feels he "ought" to act.
We have had good results here, so far. There have been bad results elsewhere. And we have examples here of people who cannto under any circumstances come out (Cruel religions, for example)

Marc, just think a moment about what you are saying! Do you really expect a youngster still in school to move somewhere else, out of their parents' home?
Come back into the real world. What's good for some is not necessarily good for all.

I would never recomend a teen being on his own...
But people age.... and when they do eventually they get old enough to make their own decisions.....
