I am a Catholic mother with a gay son. I have known the Gionata project for years now. It was the place that I attended on the Internet most to try to understand another fundamental story in my life. Here I met very beautiful people. And I also got to know the webmasters in person. I would like to write about these events of mine on Gionata, but that I don't even know where to start, so much is a tangle, which is not easy to unravel. "Foul to episodes", they suggested me. So if you want, this can be an episode, a little diary, a little memory. A story in itinere. That a little goes on, and a little goes back, to try to understand, and find the thread of a normal story, because it is normal to fall in love and love, even if the orientation is not normally considered normal. I have no idea how it will end, because it is still taking place. And I haven't understood everything yet. Indeed, sometimes I seem to have understood anything.

Perfect strangers. When a friendship fades not because he is gay

Reflections of Marta but there is another speech that I would like to make, with Marta's clothes, because it is a complicated speech. What happened to the gay friend, Paolo? Marta told in these pages how important that was, let's call it "friendship", that falling in love, which led me to get to know the homosexual world better, to know it in respect, in the hope that that relationship ...

When a grandmother does not understand that her nephew is gay

Reflections of Marta sometimes I read the reflections that exchange the group of Christian parents with email with LGBT children, of "3volte parents". Sometimes. Then it hurts me and I don't read anymore. It is an evil I know, but that I cannot avoid: when I read "husband and wife", "father and mother", and I am alone, to act as a mother ...

I haven't written for a long time. The loneliness of a mother

REFLECTIONS OF MARTA IS A long time that I don't write here, but, believe me, I often think about it. Perhaps he was expected that I filed the thoughts of a mother of a gay boy here, and instead on this, for now, I have very little to say, because my son lives his life still closed in the closet. Only a moment came out, a few years ...

Because I read the 550 pages of "Sodom" by Frédéric Martel in one breath

Reflections of Marta*, I simply read a mother in one breath, all 550 pages of Sodom of Frédéric Martel (Feltrinelli Editore, 2019). And I must say that it was a very interesting reading. Where he wants to go to parry, Frédéric Martel says it right away: there is no suspense in his work, but he wants to demonstrate a precise thesis: "The system created ...

I am a Christian mother with a gay son who dreams of a world without labels

REFLECTIONS OF MARTA*, simply a mother the dad all proud: "Luca, so your girlfriend is called Sofia?". "Yes, and also Micol ...". "Ah, good ... so you have two girlfriends ... and who do you like the most, Sofia or Micol ???" "Filippo". I don't know who wrote it. I read it these days on Facebook, reported by a friend. I find it ingenious. Summarizes in very few ...

Stories of ordinary homophobia / Insights

As parents there is a lot to do against homophobia so that our gay children are free to be

Reflections of Marta*, I simply have a mother I do not have an experience "inside" the Catholic Church, as I approached from adults to this world, and I am lucky enough to have as a parish priest, and therefore as a "guide", a very open and very strange priest. But discrimination, at least in certain "clerical" environments, also lives it as a divorced. The fact that ...
