if your adult kid decides to "come out" in the middle of a family gathering, I guess I would be peeved off too....

besides, its pretty "dirty" isn't it?...by the nature of it?.....

I agree. It is very inconsiderate to manipulate people by making public announcements without their foreknowledge. I wouldn’t have punched my son for being gay but I would have decked him for surprising me in public with suce an announcement.
