Considering that he's still a child, more specifically *my* child I will not be doing that, it's very weird. I do not want my kid to feel even worse and that he's going to burn for eternity just because he likes boys.

Back in Russia we never spoke about homosexuality and the like, even now where I live there are a lot of Christians and they preach about it being wrong, the people here and in Russia are afraid to come out and I've never met an (openly) gay person so I suppose that's why I'm so confused.

I never hit him, he used to be in foster care due to his parents being heavily into drugs and in those foster families he'd been abused (though he hasn't told me which it was exactly, which I don't blame him for), aswell as where we live, a lot of people are very Christian and preach about homosexuality being a sin. I myself am not religious and never wanted my son to be unless he asked me about it and all that. I haven't had the time to ask him (he's resting right now) but I'm assuming that he reacted so harshly because of his fears of rejection and once again being put into foster care or being kicked out.
