Your a stupid little boy who hates gays, so you're trying to annoy them with this stupid question you've made up. Wanna know something? I don't give a rat's donkey c**k.
 
I've seen success story of gays being turned into straight. Our son who we found looking at gay porn is turning gay. Does conversion camp work? I only want the best for my son because our town is full of people who hate gays. I don't think I've ever ran into a gay person before.

Here's a video of how people in my town are like:

We can't move either because I have a stable job. Just we want our son to have a normal life with no ridicule.

Have you heard of any success stories or are there any sites to help my son out?
 
Of course they dont work! Your son will never look at you the same way again, he might even kill himself. people dont need to know.
 
The only place your son needs help from is from his own parents. No matter what your town is like or the fact that you've never "ran into a gay person before" doesn't change that fact that your son is your son, and you need to support him through everything he does. If your town is intolerant you need to stand up to him and support him. Even if he wasn't gay he would face ridicule later on in life for something else. Humans thrive on ridiculing others, especially high school kids! You could cause serious emotional problems for him by denying who he is and what he feels. Not to mention, denying his sexuality could cause riffs between you and him. He may start becoming more secretive and internal, and go out of his way to lie to you so he can feel comfortable with who he is. Just think about which is more important: your neighborhood image or your son.
 
There are no such success stories. They are lies. Even the founders of the largest so-called ex-gay group admitted that it doesn't work, and they apologized for their part in the fraud.

Your job is more important than your son? That's sad. I think you need to accept him and love him as he is. Contact PFLAG, and see where the nearest chapter is to you. They can help you.

By the way, your son isn't turning gay... he is gay. There is no turning process. Our sexual orientation is determined before birth. Just because you only just learned about it doesn't mean it wasn't always there.
 
No, they're scamming you out of your money for something that's not possible.

-please know that I suspect troll but whatever-

Those "Success stories" or "Ex-gays" are most likely bisexual now or still gay but suppress these feelings so that they can feel accepted while living out their lives miserable and hurting on the inside with someone who they might not truly love. If you really do love your son, support him because he's your son for heavens sake!! Tell him that you would love him and accept him for who he is and that if there's anyone ridiculing him just because of his sexuality, stand up for him!

If he says he's not gay, just take it as if it was the truth. It may as well be the truth and he was just curious.

hugs for your son :]
 
Damn those people in that video sound like people in my hometown!

Anyway.

It's normal to be concerned about your son and not want him to be discriminated against, but by no means should you go the extent of trying to convert him or send him away to a camp. He is who he is, and you as his parents should respect that and love him because he is your son. Do not try to change who he is! Support him.

And just because someone watches gay porn doesn't mean they're gay. He may just be curious.
 
All those 'camps' do is make the person suppress their actually feelings and thoughts. They don't actually change the person from gay to straight. If you want what is best for your son then you will love ans respect him no matter what. Being gay is not a bad thing like some churches make it out so be. you shouldn't let other peoples opinion matter. It's your family and they have no say in what you do. There are gay people everywhere, you just don't always know. Like I said support your son because that is what will be better in the long run. You don't want him to be 30 and realize that he actually is gay and hold you responsible for trying to change who he is. Because that is what you would be doing, trying to change him. He's this way because God or whoever you believe in made him this way. Didn't you know god makes no mistakes? So why look at your son being gay as something wrong when it's so natural to so many people. Try and really think this through before you do something you might regret later on down the line.
 
Give it a go... see if they can help him

youk now, all you DownThumbers are wussies. These camps are a joke. They don't even last as long the AA programs. Most of these are set in Church retreats and are run by church people. If your gayness is strong enough, you can lie your way thru to the end of the program and come out with a nice vacation in the mean time. Way to overreact.
 
I think you should let him be himself..and the hell with what the other people think...its hard being gay when the people around you arent supportive..esp. when its your own parents.
 
leave him alone about his sexuality.
the best thing you can do for him is let him be himself.
why dont you try talking to him about it, and tell him you understand, but remind him not to tell anyone else.
then when he turns 18, send him off to college in a gay loving town, and he'll be happy! :]
 
I think you are a terrible parent and do not deserve to have any kids. You need to read this article and if you try to shun your child than you have problems. Gay people are normal, its only the bigotry they have to deal with that makes them different.
 
I understand you want the best for your son, however you should support whatever he choose to be no matter what. So maybe try asking your son if he wants to go to a conversion church camp and tell him that if he chooses to be gay the people in your town will hate him. But tell him your there to support him no matter his decision. And then let him decide.
 
Those "straight camps" don't actually work. The best you could ever hope for is a life of celebacy, and a broken spirit at the end. If you want your son to be happy, just leave him be. Encourage him to go away for college, so that he doesn't have to worry about everyone around him hating him.

Sexuality is biologic, and it isn't something you can ever actually change.
