Mrs. Luo is a civil service officer with a 16 year old son. She feels a little abashed since she got her clue by reading her son's SNS messages.

"He was talking with his friend about not knowing how to ‘come out' to his parents, and I didn't know what ‘come out' meant so I searched it on the internet," she said.

Her son confirmed that he had feelings for boys and didn't like girls that same day quite frankly.

"I'm glad that he didn't have to keep it too long, because the longer he keeps it to himself, the more he suffers," she said.

"We're a democratic family and everyone is an independent unit, his dad and I have no right to interfere with this," she said, while conceding that she does have worries about his future.

"My biggest concerns are whether he'll be engaged in unbecoming activities, how he's gonna get married and have children."
