If your child revealed he/she was gay?

I would accept it of course! He/she is that way not by choice. I will be there to support them and love them unconditionally :)

Well, I wouldn't be overly happy if that happens (have time though, my boy isn't even one and half years old, lol), but I think I would accept it. What matters me is that he's happy and well balanced, and if that has to go through being gay, I would accept. But to say that I would jump from happyness, lol, noway ;o)

I love my children unconditionally. I would probably simply tell them I love them then go to be alone and have a good hard cry. There are things my kids could do to disappoint me but they can never uproot my love for them. They are adults and have their own lives and I accept that. I would be careful of my words to them so they know I am always there for them.

i would accept it...this is how they are and i can't change it. why would i punish them for being themselves?? its like someone slapping me silly because i'm shy...what sense does that make. i will accept it, and support it fully. they are still my child. i just hope that they find someone who loves them and i just hope he doesn't get hurt by anyone..the normal stuff a parent worries about when their child starts becoming romanticly involved with someone. i just hope they'er not ashamed to tell me. i want my children open and honest with me.

Accept it with no problem. Not anyone's fault, nor is it a problem. Woot - gay pride parade, here we come!!!

I would accept them 100%. As I'm gay myself, can't say I can do much about it or say much about it. I don't see what the big deal is..you can't change a person..you can't change a person's sexuality, it's who they are. You were born straight, we were born gay..you didn't choose to be straight, we didn't choose to be gay.

There is no option at all, it has to be accepted. But there are 100% chances of bringing in a change. Punishing him or her is going to make mattters worse so the best is to accept it.

I'd have to accept it, it's their life. Wouldn't try to change their mind, obviously their minds already made up. Suppose I would support them as much as I could. Can't say whether or not I'd be happy about it though. Definitely wouldn't punish them over something that's beyond their control.

change what? Todays Americans don't understand homosexuality...I know I've heard tons of things. I would love and accept my children no matter what! I didn't go through 9 mos of carrying my child(ren) to not love them no matter what. I don't know if it is necessarily a choice, or they are born gay. There are arguments for both. As a catholic, I was raised that it is a choice. I've had gay friends. They were great, and I cared about them. End of story.

As a Christian I would be very upset but it's not my life it's his and they have to make there own decisions.

yes i'll accept it

I would accept it. They are my child and I will stand behind them in their decisions.

Hard to say as it hasn't happened, but after the initial shock, I suppose I would have a talk with him to see if I could change things. If this failed, I would rather accept it, than lose my son. I definitely would not punish him.

if it occurs then i think it would be a terrible thing because it is a negation of a nature. God has created Man And Woman to each other if people starts living with their own sexes then there will be no more babies and no concept of family anymore. and thanked god we are very religious and we are far away from this concept.

i guess i would ask if she/he is happy about it. if not i will send them on therapy which is 100% effective. and will make them stright. becuz all in all stright is natural, and bi is something which isnt right in the view of biology, and ths becomes from psychic of human. i tolerate gays of course but i think it isnt natural to be one and it is mental desease.

Way to start a super controversial discussion! :) High five! I think that the part of me that still holds reservations on homosexuality would maybe feel a little shocked and, I dont know.. responsible? But the intellectual side of me, and the rational side of me would say... hey, there is nothing wrong with this! In order to fully love people, you must accept them as they are... the good with the bad, the beautiful with the ugly, and all of the ridiculous inbetween!

What could I do but accept it. If it is my child I would love him/her for whatever they are and whatever they decide to do with their lives. I would be a little sad inside, perhaps but I would still accept what my child tells me.

i think it would be gross i would say then i guess you cant live here if there old enough of course to live on their own because i would hate to walk in on like two guys getting it on and one being my own kid that wold be terrible

i think gay people have enough of a hard time dealing with strangers judging and disaproving them that the family still needs to suport them no matter what.

I think if I have a kid I'm going to raise them to be gay XD
