Well, for starters, I would advise her to have a conversation about the birds and the bees or <em>heaux<\/em> and the bros if she hasn&#8217;t already and as she does so, she needs to let her children know that regardless of their orientation, she is still their mother and she loves them.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_154748\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-154748\" style=\"width: 613px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/01\/ECB542E8-66BC-47D3-8C7A-C83CC1524364.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-154748\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/01\/ECB542E8-66BC-47D3-8C7A-C83CC1524364.jpeg\" alt=\"Zari's son Raphael Jnr\" width=\"613\" height=\"791\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/01\/ECB542E8-66BC-47D3-8C7A-C83CC1524364.jpeg 613w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/01\/ECB542E8-66BC-47D3-8C7A-C83CC1524364-232x300.jpeg 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 613px) 100vw, 613px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-154748\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zari&#8217;s son Raphael Jnr on the day he came out as a homosexual<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>She should also try and find out whether there have been instances of sexual abuse that her children were exposed to. While the mantra goes that &#8220;we were born this way&#8221;, a huge complication that comes from sexual abuse of minors is something called <span style=\"color: #00ff00\"><a style=\"color: #00ff00\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rape_trauma_syndrome\"><strong>Rape Trauma Syndrome<\/strong><\/a><\/span> which can lead to them become hypersexualized and even affect their inclination and orientation aswell as their self-esteem. Zari needs to explore every possibility where her children are concerned.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008000\"><a style=\"color: #008000\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/zari-hassan-speaks-after-son-comes-out-of-the-closet\/\">Zari Hassan speaks after son comes out of the closet<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another tidbit I would advise her to do is to get her son into therapy. He clearly needs someone to talk to in an environment he feels safe in because lets face it, while Zari as the mother would want to believe she can go above and beyond for her child including dealing with this homosexuality matter, we as human beings need to be honest enough to admit when we are out of sorts and unfamiliar with certain subject matter. This I would argue is one such sitaution.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_154759\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-154759\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/01\/7E04AB9A-D248-40DE-B454-74AD855D6F4D.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-154759 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/01\/7E04AB9A-D248-40DE-B454-74AD855D6F4D.jpeg\" alt=\"Zari's son Raphael Jnr\" width=\"720\" height=\"690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/01\/7E04AB9A-D248-40DE-B454-74AD855D6F4D.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/01\/7E04AB9A-D248-40DE-B454-74AD855D6F4D-300x288.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-154759\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zari&#8217;s blames Tanzanian women for her son Raphael Jnr coming out as a homosexual.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But the one thing that Zari decided to do is the one thing I wouldn&#8217;t advise anyone to do: she looked for a scapegoat. Diamond Platnumz&#8217;ex decided to accuse Tanzanian women of messing with her child and being the reason for his self identified sexual orientation -being gay. According to her, his is a natural reaction to all the women and girls in his DMs sending him illicit and inappropriate material.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008000\"><a style=\"color: #008000\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/zari-hassans-second-born-son-comes-out-declares-he-is-gay-screenshot\/\">Zari Hassan\u2019s second born son comes out, declares he is gay!

She needs to go no contact with the world and instead, channel all her enrgery into dealing with her son and this homosexual situation. She really should cut down on the IG fingers. She needs to focus on the real issues, and not the side show.<\/p>\n<p>For more thought-provoking opinion pieces, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/author\/ozymandias\/\"><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>click here<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.
