Today, I found out that my son is not really gay. He just told me that so I'd let him have girls in his bedroom. FML

haha, that's a great idea, very original. But seriously, if you were a bit open minded with him you could have avoided this... I'm also kinda wondering just how you found out.

Okay I have to agree it sucks he manipulated you, but I agree, that is GENIOUS lol. I as well want to know how long you thought he was gay. (BTW You could always get back at him by like sending him to a gay bar or something, if hes old enough)

Hahaha. I have this talk with so many of my friends that we should do this! I can't believe you actually fell for it though.

My friend did that too. Your son is smart, and manipulative. You should be proud and sad.

Doh! You grown-ups! Running around talking sense and everything. Nope. The submitter must be more broad-minded. Sign her son up for local teen gay support clubs. Go to said clubs and obtain literature and read it with him. Gay guys are the stereo-typically style gurus. Work with him to redecorate his room, perhaps paint it pink, or at least pink touches. Buy a lage-scale poster of Bruno and pin it on the back of his door - without telling him - just before one of his visitors arrive - of either sex. Buy him a copy of Brokeback Mountain or Priscilla and if he questions it, be hurt and say you want to be supportive and your research said that it's popular with the gay community. Make an appointment at his school to speak with a counsellor about his being gay - fake guilt to the counsellor, that sort of thing. Or at least go through the obvious pretence of such a thing to scare the crap out of him, force a confession, make him grovel and plead not to 'out him'. I wouldn't dream of suggesting doing this to a genuinely gay teenager, I don't generally condone torture, but he played you. Son 1 - 0 Mum - it;s only half-time. 'Out' him and it will be Son 1 - 10 Mum

And people say no one ever pretends to be gay...
