What Would You Do If Your Son Or Daughter Told You They Were Homosexual ?

I would be glad that they came to me and I would also be happy that they felt that they could trust me. I have no problems with homosexuas but i would for sure be concerned for their sake, jus because there are so many people out there who thinks that it is a sin. U also bring up a good poitn with grandchildren and I would also be sad fior this, but hopefully I will have more than one kid and the statistics of them both beeing born gay is not very high =)

I would hug my child tell him how proud i was of him and that i am glad he has found peace in his life to know who he is and accept it and share with me, as you have shown me that i wasn't that horrible of a parent that you couldn't share this with me, and you very much care that I am still very much welcomed to share every aspect of your life with you. I would then ask if there was someone in his life, that i could meet. We all worry about our kids even if they are gay or straight, I want my child to love what ever way he wants not the way someone tells him to love or how some "book" tells him to love, itss not truely loving. i want for my child all the great feeling and joys and tears this world has to offer, we all want that. Your husband you are not going to know how he feels until it happens if it happens, this is his macho man image he needs to keep up with, and you know what, its time to say to him if that is truely how you feel then there will be a day we part cause i will always choose for them to love freely in this house and if that is without you so be it. And what are you talking about grandchildren, i want grandchildren too and even if they are gay, what makes you think that children can't be a part of it! there are children all over this world that crave love to be able to say they are loved by two men or two women would be all the love that child would need to grow. and another reality is having B/O grandchildren could be something that your straight children may not be able to have. I wish the best to u

Oh boy I really hope and pray that this is nothing that I ever have to face. I would show them in the bible where it is wrong and then try to accept it the best way that I could..

I will accept my son or daughter if they told me they are homosexual. My thinking is that even if you want them to be straight if they are really not then all of you are just miserable. I will just be supportive.

I agree .. children should say anything to their mother or father. and parents should not feel any other way about their children, they are still their children no matter who they love.

i would tell him or her that no matter what I LOVE HIM/HER.

I have thought about it and to be honest, I wouldnt care! If thats what they want to do then so be it! It wont change how I feel about them or how much I love them! I dont think being homosexual makes anyone a "bad" person.

I would still love them, they would still be my child and I love them unconditally. I would probably be surpised maybe a little disappointed at first but would certainly have to accept that for what it was.

it doesnt matter for me. So long as my children happy than I am also happy.

my opinion would be accept the fact...that is if you cannot do anything...try to support them and nurture them just like any ither normal child...its not a descease to be homosexual...however try to explia to them the consequenses that may happen to them when they grow old...that way it is them who would bring about cahnges in their lives if they want to...otherwise let them be...

i would'nt do anything... It's his/her life, and I won't fight with him for that. Some parents wants their children to change, or don't want to see them anymore, but it's not a good thing to do. Your son/daughter, will keep your son no matter what can happen...

It wouldn't faze me in the least. I'd be happy that they we had a good enough relationship that they could come and tell me. I want, more than anything, for my kids to be happy and accepting yourself for who you really are would go a long ways to achieving that.

I hope that nothing like this would happen in my life. I know that homosexuals are also human beings and they have their dominion status and I dont deny this......but its too tough to digest that our son or daughter would be homosexual.

Homosexuality has been part of human history. Biblical records show that one of Noah's son is a homosexual, before the flood there were homosexuals. Many prominent historical figures have been branded as homosexuals, ie. Plato the Philosopher, da Vinci, Nero to name a few. There are also medical findings that contribute to homosexuality, some studies show that human males have a lot of female hormones than which is normal, therefore they have tendency to be attracted to men. There is also a psychological factor that contribute to homosexuality. Some boys grow up in a predominant female environment, in the absence of an adult male in the family some boys would emulate the female members in order to belong to the group, and most of these boys would grow up as homosexuals. I guess based on this I believe that homosexuality is "not uncommon", and the best way to approach this issue is not blame something or some person, but to find a solution to alleviate, if not solve the situation.

Id be shocked but what could I do other then stand by their side and don't treat them any differently then you did before.

NOTHING WRONG

I don't consider myself homophobic but I struggle with the issue of homosexuality being considered an alternative lifestyle. I would be upset - not sure if I could ever accept it - but I would still love my child.

I don't have children and my oppinion will probably change when I do have children. To be honest, I don't think I would take it too well. I have absolutly nothing against homosexuality but I just don't think I could cope with my child being homosexual. I feel guilty for feeling this way but thats just how I feel.

Sit him/her down with the bible and our pastor, and if the devil is not removed from him/her I will then send him/her to a psychiatrist and if that doesn't work.... I will beat the living daylights out of him/her.

Well it is the worst thing for a parents to hear these shocking comments from there children. The only thing you can do is that tell him about the right and wrong. Let him decide which way he wishes to go.
