My son is not your traditional "manly-man" -- so I sat down with my son and told him that if he is gay -- that's fine with me. I just don't want him to ever have to hide who he is, etc -- after my heart wrenching talk, my son said "Mom, I'm not gay...but thanks for sharing" :lol (his friend is bisexual). This led to my son giving me all sorts of information about sexuality which enlightened me considerably (although I could have gone to my grave without seeing that book on S&M :lol :lol ).

So, the above qualities make me as clueless as everyone else, right?

You sound great! I wish I would have had someone to tell me about that stuff. It sure would have saved my exwife a bunch of grief!
