Heartaches ahead, I fear.....

My daughter's best friend since 7th grade is a wonderfully talented young man that I think the world of. All through high school She had hopes that it would become more than just a friendship but I knew it would not. He is gay. I told her that and she would say, oh, mom he just acts that way. Later she found out he was gay and that was okay. He is still the kind, gentle soul he has always been. But he is getting married now and it it is not to a gay man.

His family is very religious and they do not know he is gay so he is marrying a lovely young girl. I asked my daughter if she knew about him and she said yes but she felt she could work it all out with him. She says she can change him but I don't think that will happen. I wonder if they know what kind of heartaches are ahead for them. It saddens me to think some gays still think they have to do this but all I can do is pray that things work out for them.
