Gay son's wedding just a big charade

BRIDE’S IN FOR SHOCK

- JANE O'GORMAN

I KNEW my son was gay from the age of five.

Now he’s staggered me by announcing he’s marrying a woman. Must I warn her?

As a boy, I could never get him interested in football or fishing. His two brothers loved physical sports, but he preferred to hang around his mum and sister, cooking and making things.

For a while, my wife ran an interior design business and he was good with a sewing machine and often helped produce curtains and cushion covers.

My wife has always said he has a good “eye”. At 16, he came home with his first girlfriend, but I knew it wouldn’t last.

Hurt

For many years, he travelled abroad with various jobs, but he’s back with a fiancée in tow.
