I am straight.... but not narrow minded. If my child told me s/he was lesbian/gay, I would be extremely proud. I would love and support them. I would never want them to feel shame for who they are... especially from their mother. I would never make it harder on my gay son or my lesbian daughter because I know they will have it hard enough against society. Understanding, acceptance, love and support is what we need to show our gay community. Society has only beat then down and yet they still stand strong and face the day with a smile on their face. I would be HONORED to have my child be apart of such a loving and incredibly strong community.
Because of how I was raised by my mom, I grew up knowing that she would always love me no matter what and I think that is how all parents should be. I would be very accepting if my child expressed to me that they were gay. I think it is wrong for parents to disown children for being gay. Think about it, do children disown their parents for being straight??? Or gay???
since this is a 2 part question I will do my best to answer both parts at once. I feel you can't disown your children they are always part of you, though you can shun them and break total contact, which is what I would do if I had my child "come out" to me I would inform them of the flaws with their choice and inform them that if they ever chose to get right then they would be accepted back into the house but until then they would no longer be welcomed at my home.
I would embrace my child and show them the same amount of love that I would regardless of who they choose to spend their lives with. And as long as their partner was a good person who was making them happy, was not abusive, and showed my child love and respect in return, I would also accept their partner as a member of the family and love them like a child, as well.
My kids woudl be loved regardless of their choice in date for the prom or the like. Heck, they can even marry people of the same gender if they choose to. As long as they find suitable partners for life I'm all for it. So, the only time I'll giv eone of my children away is when they march down the aisle to get hitched.
i would not. if my child came out to me, I would tell them that the same rules hold true for whomever they decide to date: hurt my child and ill beat you to death with a shovel, no matter what gender you are.
i am in a heterosexual relationship at the moment, but my partner and i are anything other than straight, so it would be pretty hypocritical of me to do otherwise should my child come out.
First of all, ALL YOU PEOPLE ROCK. *grin* I love this Yahoo! Answer thing - so many people think like I do!
So, to reiterate, NEVER. I will probably never have children of my own, but I'm going to be around my best friends to help them teach their children how to cherish people for their worth as a human being, not who they sack.
Love ya all, reading these answers made my day! XOXO
No way. I would support them. My parents were fine with me being gay. I would be two faced if i didn't support them. I would love them whatever their choices were and i would hope they could easily talk to me.

I LOVE THE GAY COMMUNITY!!

I love my daughter more than my own life; nothing she can do or say will change that. I could no more disown her than I could eat my own head.
If she came to me and told me that she was gay, I would simply remind her of that.
It wouldn't matter to me at all.

Nope, I have two sons and a daughter and I love them for who they are. Straight or gay or even trans if it so happens
