My son is gay how do I cure him?
We found out he was gay, he is 12 and we are trying everything we can, We talked to a psychologist and a pediatrician and they both said it was normal, but as we all know it is not normal to be a homosexual. How do we cure him?

men go for second option when they find out they cant have sex with a women btw its true like or not
he is 12 and he start to Discover and try to know what turns him on, for example an 18year old healthy guy well be turned on when you find him with a naked girl , but a naked guy next to him and he well not be turned on because in his brain he knows that having sex with women as a man is the right choice to make
so basically you should set with your son and tell him all about healthy adult sex i know his 12 i know its crazy but either having him sleep with men in the future or just know all about Healthy sex from this small age of 12
the cure that he start to know the right choice his 12 and its perfect that you found out that about him at this age, also says the saying (tell me who is your friend i tell you who you are) you should let him go out with kids that have a clean mind , ofc he should go out with girls but he shouldnt be wearing makeups and such with girls ,
his father has a huge part of this either your spending too much time with him more than his father or his father is too cruel to him , let his father share some activity with him like going fishing playing some games he likes

Ahh, another victim of homophobia.
There is no 'cure' for homosexually, as it is not a disease or illness. There is nothing wrong with your son and he can help being gay as much as he can help his hair or eye colour.
There is nothing you can do, to him, being gay is natural and being heterosexual is strange. He respects your sexuality, I suggest you respect his in the same way, as you may end up losing your son.
Being homosexual is actually quite common, with most people coming out in their teens, as your son did. Being homosexual does not change your son as a person, just a small aspect of his personality and the type of person he falls in love with.
Open your eyes and talk to him about his feelings. Don't isolate your own child in this way.

Some psychologists beleive sexuality is a result of how a child fears their father, and reacts to the break with their mother when growing up. This is probably right, I think. He probably grew more towards his mother, being so scared of your hateful attitude. There's nothing wrong with your child, but my God is there something wrong with you... You'd swear you were living decades ago, before we all knew better. Thankfully most of us do, and are educated enough to know the difference between flaws and differences between people. It's your role to be supportive, he's only 12, such a small kid. Here's what you do- man up to your role as a father, show your kid a bit of respect and maybe someone will respect you.

although I think you are trolling, I will answer anyway, just in casse you are not.
Honestly, he is 12, so his hormones are all over the place right now. He might just be curious right now. Lots of young teens are curious and not quite sure about their sexuality. Don't try and make him think there is something "wrong" with him. As I said, he's still figuring his stuff out. He might be gay, he might just be curious. He's still rather young. Talk to him about it. Explain to him that you understand he might feel confused/curious because of all the crazy hormones and all these changes he is going through and let him talk to you and explain his thoughts and feelings.

First, blame yourself. You made a gay baby. That means you are probably carrying the gay gene. This is all your fault.
Second, it's time to accept your gay gene. Spend some time at a local theatre, the really dark one that shows movies about firefighters. Then an evening at the local bathhouse. Finally, you can relax and enjoy some buggering with strangers.
Third, cry yourself to sleep.
Finally, you can accept your son for who he is. He isn't sick, he doesn't have a disease. He's gay. And that's fine.

Let me guess, you're a Xian. Yeah, they're the most bigoted, idiotic and intolerant group of people out there. Well, Islam is probably way worse, but you're a close second. Now here is what you should do: If you have a subscription to Netflix, open up the list of social documentaries on your computer, or just use the search feature, and look for the movie "For the Bible Tells Me So". It's not a Xian-bashing program, in fact it's very accepting of their viewpoints, and it may help you understand what's going on with your son. Another thing to consider is that at age 12, most boys tend to start puberty, and their hormones are all over the place. This could contribute to some "confusion" as to sexuality and gender roles, and if this is the case, you should notice a smooth shift back to heterosexuality in the next few years. Either way, there's noting to be worried about, and scientists have proven time and again that homosexuality, while not linked to any specific gene, is most likely caused by genetic factors. Watch the film for more info, it's really interesting and educational......

I'm gay, but I'm not gonna cuss and judge you like everybody else (mainly cause i don't want to stoop to your level).
For one, I understand that you are a concerned mother who loves her son and wants him to be the best he can etc etc, however, if you keep drilling him the way you do by taking him to doctors and trying to "cure" him, you're only going to push him away and make him scared to talk to you about things related to the topic of homosexuality.
You have to let him express himself emotionally and act like a supportive parent because this situation is extremely sensitive and you have to respect that. One thing a gay man wants more than life in anything is for his mother to accept and love him, and if you don't give him that, then (God forbid) he will turn out like those gay men I see all the time who are dressing in drag, turning into trannies, doing hard drugs (meth or cocaine), or slutting around catching HIV. Do you really want your son to turn out that way all because you couldnt give him the love and support he needed during a young age?

The Former Director of Pray the Gay Away now says reformative therapy has never and will never work.
http://www.truthwinsout.org/pressreleases/2011/10/...
If HE doesn't believe in conversion or reparative therapy then why would anyone else?
Apart from that? I have heard if you shove your head up your butt that can also help.

homosexuality is not a disease to cure it.
Your his mother/father your job is to support and love your child no matter what, so accepted him just the way he is and shut up about curing him.

Nothing to cure. It's not a diease. It's a normal way of life. Love him as he is.
