It isn't specific to being gay (sort of hate the word 'choice' in association with sexuality but okay) but in this case, I meant that when parents say that sort of thing to a child that has come out that they then need to back it up and be the supportive parent they need. Certainly that is not exclusive to being the parents of an LGBT child but it the insecurity that often comes with the coming out period is something that does indeed involve the need for a different set of parenting skills.
