But that doesn't make that parent's love invalid, either.
Of course, I'm a bit spoiled in the sense that my parents really would love me regardless of my sexuality.
They understand that it's not a choice, and though it would really weird one of the two out (he'd never admit it, but it would), they'd accept it.
I have no doubt of that.

In response to the part bolded, I have to say this before I continue (and I'm not responding to all those questions either, just this part-ish!).
I believe a parent loves their child no matter what (hopefully in some way!) and when a parent phrases it "I don't like the sexuality you have chosen, but that doesn't mean I don't accept and love all of you." then I can see they're actually trying and that is something I hope to see more and more.
But it's not love to the child to start pushing them away because of gender. Honestly, to put myself in a transgendered person's shoes with these sort of parents? I would call it hate. No matter what. I believe there are more and more accepting parents out there, but there are parents who would kick their kids out for being gay and transgendered still..I definitely don't call that love. :/
