What would you do if you discover your kid is gay?

why would being gay make him not a real man in your eyes? why do so many people seem to think that being attracted to other men indicates some kind of lack of manliness?

Dreamer, it is better to make him unhappy while being reformed rather than for me let him just go to hell!

What God created homosexuals? He created them as men not homosexuals. Sad to note that you have a very wrong perception of Creation. Go and read the right version of the Bible not the Bible of the gay people please. In the Book of Genesis when God created human, He first created Adam, a man; and then a woman named Eve. He did not create a homosexual. Homosexuality is a product of the sinfulness of men and anything sinful God rejects and so I reject and neither support as well. Now let me please remind you that you rather be the one to search and examine the version of the Bible you are using. It may be the version that deleted and added words from the Bible so that their own version will conform with the world. God hates conformity with the world for He said should not be conformed with the world. (Romans 12:2- And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Those who changed the Bible by adding and deleting will certainly earn punishment from God. I am not the one saying this but the Bible in Revelation 22:19-19: "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." So....

I should have added that if either of my two grown up daughter professed to be gay and took a lover I would be quite uncomfortable. If any of my grandchildren were gay Zi would be uncomfortable. I am not saying I would stop loving them or shun them in any way but I would not like it.

you're probably right about that. but a lot of men are prone to taking it personally if the fruit of their oh so manly loins turns out to be gay. they think it reflects on their masculinity. which is ridiculous. a gay man is no less of a man than a straight one, so why would that make his father less of a man to have raised one.

oddly people in general don't seem AS bothered by lesbians. well, not so offended. which is strange. I think most men would respond better to a gay daughter than a gay son. but women I think would be likely to respond the same if the gay child was male or female, whatever that reaction might be. people are odd like that.

But we aren't only talking about gay men are we or lesbians as well? So are men only less accepting if their gay child is a boy? If the child is a girl, are men still less likely to be accepting than women? If not, then why would a mother not be less likely to accept a gay daughter? Do they feel that that negatively reflects on their femininity? Oh wow, I just realized that that was all questions. :)

gay men aren't female.

well that's not true at all. it's nothing to do with which parent they spend more time with. and there's not anything you can do to make sure of your child "definitely" being straight. by that logic, every boy that loses their mother will turn out straight, and every boy that loses their father will turn out gay.

You should read the book called "Bringing Up Boys" by Dr James Dobson. He did mention about this in his book. If a boy losses his father, and only has his mother by his side, he will tend to follow his mother's ways as he doesn't have a male model to show him what boys are suppose to do. If the boy doesn't have a father, then it is best to get him involved in activities such as the Boys Brigade where he can interact with boys/men. Even if it is in the gene (which I don't believe so), then prevention should be taken at an earlier stage, don't you think so?

landover baptist is actually a spoof site. it's mocking those sort of views. that article is quite funny actually. you didn't actually think anyone out there thinks that liking hot dogs is a warning sign of awakening homosexuality did you? I don't think I need to read a book by someone that knows so little about human sexuality that he thinks a mother can turn her son gay. and what exactly does he mean by following her ways? if mum sleeps with men he'll want to sleep with men too? what rubbish.
