I would accept them no matter what. I myself am a lesbian and my father accepted it quite easily. My partner and I were here at my home when he told us that he knew. I would react the same. They can love whoever they want though if that person gets them in trouble they're going to pay.

You're welcome and thank you. My partner has basically taught me to just tell the truth. Most people may not want to hear it but it's always better to just say it.

Well, I am from a small West Texas town and that is definitely not the "norm" for around here but I always try to be open to other people's choices and not judge them. That being said, I would definitely accept my child's choices in this area. I'm not saying it would be easy, but who am I to make their choices for them?

"Excuse me,but its not a choice,people are born gay,they dont have a choice.I wish that could be cleared up once and for all" I agree Jimbo! you are totally right, it ISNT a "choice"....this is how we are BORN...

Of course I would accept them..they are my children...What would my first reaction be? "ya and??" seriously...and my kids know it..Their sexuality really isnt any of my damn business to be perfectly honest with you....And I'll never understand parents who say they'd love their kid but not their "sins" etc...or worse yet, parents who would turn their back on their kids if they came out of the closet...thats b.s to me...

thanks Ravenladyj for your honesty..well jimbo45 we have different cultures..some countries,not all, specially christian countries have different perception about this question. so what's the big deal asking this kind of question? we are free to ask that's why we join this mylot to discuss things and exchange views because we are all different. just respect it. thanks!

Oh..maybe you're thinking that a lesbian will court you if they will be your friend at first. :)

If ever i have a child like this i think i can accept it but if i can control not to do that thing i will do it. I dont like that kind of person because its wrong and not acceptable to God.

Yeah..we can't stop them..they said it also depends on the upbringing of their children..if their parents are not there for them then most likely they will end up like that. Oh well..for me I time can tell if I can accept..it's hard for a mother you know.

Hey..I'm just asking opinions anyway. I did not say anything bad against them or condemn them. I my self have a child and I just want sort of reflections on how to handle things in the future. I just posted a question I discovered in our daily lives. Don't get me wrong.

It wouldn't matter to me, at all. Having a child is the same regardless of how that child turns out. We need to accept our children for the individuals that they are, and not judge them, because their lifestyles aren't what we had in mind for them.
