A dear friend's eldest son, age 31, died unexpectedly in early June in a city on the West Coast. As she and her husband were planning to travel there, from Arizona, to attend a memorial service his friends and partner had arranged, and to collect his things, she told me that her husband did not know their son was gay. The relationship between father and son had been strained in the past, and we were sure her husband, a really traditional guy, would not handle this information well.
