What if your child said he was gay?

If my child told me that he/she is gay then I will accept that, I will respect that. That's my kids choice. You cannot help your feelings, love is love. And me as a mom must love my child no matter what, and trust me if my kid told me he/she is gay then it will be all cool, nothing will change. I will love my child anyway, of course.
 
I'd prefer if my child was straight but I don't see homosexuality as a choice so I couldn't do anything but accept it. I'd support him/her however needed.
 
Intriguing, i see many people taking an acceptive stance rather than go on an anti-homo trip.

There have been different times on this board (the_one's been there no doubt)
 
I can bet that when the situation happens, lots of these 'acceptance stances' will be switched...


Very easy to perceive, but very hard to act.

This question is always thrown around when the age old discussion pops up in Wow. Usually from pro-homosexuality people questioning whether pro-hetrosexual people would do x,y,z to their own homosexual kids like they want to do to stranger homosexuals. Now it gets its own thread. Please don't discuss the technichalities of the terms i;ve used!

But how would you react if your child turned around and said, mom - dad im batting for the other side?


If I was already in a bad mood I'd put him up for adoption

If I was in a good mood at the time, I'd smack him upside the head with a baseball bat, force him to sit in a chair and make him watch heterosexual pornography for a few hours straight.

Is this you being perceptive or has this kind of thing happened before on this board?
 
i am not sure how many people on here have kids, but as a father i can say you will love that child unconditionally, you might not accept the decision or choice your child makes, but i can honestly say no matter what, whether you feel it is right or wrong you will support your child...and look at it this way to all the people saying "i'd kick their ass staight" or whatever has been said...what would your reaction be if you heard another kid calling your son a little dicksucker or somethin, you would want to hurt that kid for hurting your child...i promise you that...neither of my kids are at the point where that is in there mindset yet, but my oldest is 11 and i have wondered before what i would do, but from the first time you are holding your kid in the hospital and he/she looks up at you, they own you and you will take care of them no matter who or what they turn out to be.

Read what the man has to say to you kids... repp'ed
 
I did post in here, where is my message? I can't see it... But dedbrd I totally hear you and I feel your words man.
 
well seeing I can't get them to become straight(not like I would try) I'd support them it is their life and who they chose to share it with its my kid and I will support them no matter what the odds.
 
I'd ask some questions and fully support their decision and let him/her know that I love him/her no matter what. No doubt I'd have some reservations or thoughts but no way would I let them know it, its my problem if I have negative feelings toward the situation. But in all honesty I'd accept it and love him/her all the same.
 
"Welcome to the Club" :D.

For real though, I would have to accept it because I don't believe its a choice for the child, but I really think it would be a little awkward around him sometimes, but how would I know? Wait until I get into that situation I think.
