How would you react if your son/daughter were homosexual

I'd be totally cool with it! Guys we live in the year 2011 (almost) and it's weird how under some aspects we are even more closed minded than they were centuries ago (when homosexuality was an accepted part of society life and was even considerated positive) I don't see anything wrong with homosexuality as long as people involved are happy and satisfied with it. If my kid would come to me and tell me he or she is gay, I'd just smile and hug her/him. I'd be glad that my kid came to me and opened him/herself to me. Maybe to be honest I'd be just a little sad, but not because my kid is gay but for the reason that my kid would have to grow up in a society that will not easily accept them and at times also discriminate them giving dirty looks, but at the end of the day this isn't their fault but ignorant and closed minded people that are in out society!

i must be shock and surprise. or maybe i am gonna be mad too for a while. i will investigate it if it comes from genetics or environment. then i will find the solution

I would be perfectly fine with it. When he/ she Finally tells me , I would be Very supportive. I would say I'm glad they told me so Now I know which pronouns to use when I speak of their steady! This is easy for me because I an straight but not narrow And I never will have children! I can understand being shocked. I can understand needing time to adjust . But I can't understand disowning a child because they are gay. Or maybe I Can , it just makes me sad. Out here , there are many people who Can't have children and Want them, and wouldn't care if their child was gay and some parents are throwing their kids out of the family! It is sad. ps. I am not one of those. I Never wanted kids!

I would be definitely be shocked. I am a old fashioned conservative character, and will not be supportive. Most probably I will cut off my ties with my gay son/daughter. In fact, I would go a step further, and will not even see them for the rest of my life.

I'm not sure how I would react to such news as this. it would not be something a parent would be expecting to hear. I may not be able to appreciate such news, but i would not love my child any less for it. i would still be there for them no matter what.

I would not be very happy. But its their life. They dont decide there born like it. But it's a shame if they cant have wife and kids.

Hi tck, I'd probably be a bit surprised at first if I didn't see signs of it and have suspicions prior to being told. It wouldn't bother me. Really the only thing that I would feel bad about is how other people treat them. I would hope that he/she was strong enough to deal with judgments of others that can be so cruel.

oh....of course i wont be happy, but i will respect my son/daughter's decision then. besides it is their life and gender isn't the only thing in the world that has to be given too much consideration and importance. still it is up to the person's character.

If my kid would be gay or a homosexual? Hmmm, I might get pissed but, I won't shun my kid out of my life. I would accept it, and see to it he or she gets the best education she or he could have. They are my kids of course. Sexuality is just sexuality. But Family will always be number one.

Parents are supposed to love their children unconditionally. If I ever found myself in this situaion I would embrace my child and let them know that thay have my full support NO MATTER WHAT. Being gay doesn't change the 'dreams' you would have for you child, they can still find a life partner, still have children, still have happy successful careers. Being gay does not define a person, it's just a part of who they are.

I certainly will be surprised when they hear news like that. because why can our children do scientists thought such a thing? It is very surprising their parents. and maybe there will be confusion of what had happened. therefore I would like to suggest to parents who have daughters in order to maintain honor your child well. so as not to make your family name became tarnished. okay ..?

Why would i be shocked? if my son/daughter were homosexual it is their wish and their preferance and they will maintain the complete right to be happy and remain that way
