Great to have you back again Jeff
, very sad to hear about your folks but awesome your Mum took interest and supported you in every way. We are always here for you and everyone about 
Thanks.
It seems weird to have someone else awake at this hour.
It's after midnight over here in America.
(I'm listening to the baseball game. Our Cleveland Indians are playing on the West Coast, so due to the time zones, it started at 10:00 p.m.; hence, I'm currently wide awake.)

Thats right, your baseball is like our aussie rugby league......WE LOVEEEE ITTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
I just put a link to your story Ben on my facebook page.
this is one way we can let more people know about freedom 2 b[e] and the important work we do.
Hope you dont mind. As all posts on this site are visible on the net I didn't think it would be a problem.
put this on page one
Wow...great to see this being brought up again.
Just an update: My parents are so amazing and supportive now. They have an amazing understanding of sexual orientation and are very loving of me.
It was a journey for them, as it was for me. It took alot of patience, grace and me teaching them for things to move forward. Don't give up on your parents!!
Your Mum and Dad are amazing and as they have shared in our meetings the journey has brought so many blessings into their lives.
Moving from perceived anti-gay to now being advocates is quite a shift in a short space of time.
they are an inspiration as you are Ben.
Agreed! Awesome awesome story 
I'd never seen this thread before it got reposted.
I got to cry over Ben's story all over again!! tears because it touches my own situation- and because Ben and his parents are such wonderful people. God's grace in action!

How LUCKY you are to have parents who are there for you as you go through your journey!!!
My prediction was right in that I'd thought your parents would support you.
I wish I lived in Australia so I could see and hug y'all.
