Could you accept it if your son or daughter told you they are homosexual?

Well, I'm never having kids, but of course I would. I'm a lesbian myself, and I'm always so thankful my parents accepted me they way that they did. It's a total non-issue with them. I can't understand any parent who would turn on their child or retract support just because of who their child is attracted to.

I wouldn't be the happiest person in the world, because well, although I'm only 18, when I'm older I would like to have some grandchildren to spoil the way mine never. Although there is always adoption, it's always nice to have flesh and blood to spoil right? It wouldn't really bother me though. I recently found myself in a situation where my boyfriend (long distance relationship) had been lying to me all this time and I caught him. Turns out he is really a she. It was really the first time I've ever found myself seeing a girl in that light before but by the time I had the guts to tell her I didn't care about the fact that shes a girl it was a little to late. Oh well. At least we're still good friends ^^ Although... THAT I know my parents would never agree to.

I know that a lot of people cannot accept that. I am not one of them. I suppose can be difficult but if they are happy with it I'll be happy with it. I don't thing tha it is a problem. Everyone can decide about sexuality that prefer.

Yes I could. They would be my kids no matter what they like. I have bisexuall friends and they are my friends no matter who they love. The one firend introduced her girl friend as "this is my girl friend". I asked when you say girl firend do you mean girl friend or GIRLFRIEND. She said GIRL FRIEND, I replyed cool. So why would I feel any differnt about my own flesh and blood?

with arms wide open i will accept my child...no hesitations...to have them is a gift...when nurtured and loved they will become very good individuals...productive and concern...

How could I love them any less? Something that represents 1-2% of our total nature becomes the sole determining fact in whether I love someone or not? I just don't understand how any parent that ever loved their child could do this. Yet, I have known of real examples where this has happened. But like you, I would not waver my love for them in the least (I have a boy and a girl, both teenagers).

I would accept my child for who they are. I just want for my children to be happy in life. It is their choice on how the strive for happiness.

Loving someone means accepting him as well. Being a homosexual doesn't make you less than a person. For most homosexuals, one of their primary problems is on how to be accepted as such. It is expected from a parent to be the one who'd fully accept his or her child for what he or she is.

Well I`m gay. I haven't told my parents not because I don't wanna disappoint them but I don't know if they are ready for finding this out. It's not that easy to tell them, not because of what they think but the society has created many barriers for gays to pass. I know that my parents have the same way of thinking and that really scares the sh|t out of me! Would my parents see me the same after I`ll tell them? Hell knows! I think that they`ll blame theirselves and that's not what I wanna happen! Is nobody's fault! There's nothing bad in being gay. Is it?

even if they were homosexuals, it wouldn't change the fact that they are still my kids and i couldn't love them less just because of their "preferred gender". no other person could love them more like mothers do.

its still my own blood no matter what she/he is definitely i will accept it. maybe its just being open minded on things.

I would be able to accept that and would hope they would feel like they could confide in me.

I would still love my child but it would be a really hard thing to accept. They just wouldnt be able to have kids really or a normal wedding and stuff and everyone wants that for their kids. To have grandchildren and stuff like that so im kind of indifferent about the subject

Yes. Love entails acceptance. You cannot reject your child. He or she reflects the genes you have.

It will come very hard to me if one of my kids comes out and tell he/she is a gay/lesbian but I would love them the way they are and try to understand them and give full space to them to live as a normal person holding their head high.

You are correct, I will never accept their this demand. I will try in all the way to explain them the demarit of this habit. Generally our society still dont have passions to accept this behaviour so am I. And here I would say that I will be successful in my way. Because I believe our sons or daughter will behave as their parents and forfathers have taught to them and that they have got heritage.

Oh my god that is the horrible situation ever.I may love my child but at the same time can't accept that.

I love my son with all of my heart. He means everything to me just like my wife. If this was the path he chose in life, I'd be happy for him.

Coming from a homosexual female, I must admit if my child was to tell me they were homosexual, I would accept them bu it would be hard for me. Knowing what I have gone thru, what I go thru everyday and what I will have to go thru to complete my life will take a toll on me and what I imagine for my child. But I believe this would be an issue with anyone. We would all just want the protection, acceptance and support for our children that most heterosexuals recieve.

yes I would accept it. I love them and want them to feel loved. Why should they not have that in their lives?. I am very open and supportive to it. I have 4 sons. 2 are married 2 are not. I love them all no matter who they love.
