    No one is going to explicitly say that, but in some communities the reaction to a son being gay is a lot harsher than to a son sexually harassing someone else.

      I mean, absolutely, especially globally, there are still a lot of communities like that.

      In the developed west, personally at least, I think the people who would have that attitude tend to be a bit too old (or way too old) to be having kids.

      While I can’t speak to OP’s experience, that’s the kind of sentiment that publicly expressed would make employment more difficult etc.
