| how would you react if your son /daughter told you they where gay
Posted: 6/19/2008 9:25:44 AM | | i'll probally get ripped to shreads for putting this, but here it goes anyway. I do not approve of homosexuality and thats the bottom line. i have a 3 year old daughter right now and hope to have son in the future. if my son or daughter came home and told me he/she is gay, i would tell he/she i do not approve and tell them its wrong if you believe in the bible. I would also tell he/she i will always love him/her but the significant other would not be welcome in my home and thats it. I could not disown my daughter or son but if they were gay i would have a real problem with it and wouldnt be comfortable being around there significant other. now its my house so its my rules. im sure it would put a strain on my relationship with my kids but i wouldnt tolerate it no matter what. | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 10:51:24 AM | Our jobs as parents is to prepare our children to become healthy, well educated, responsible, open minded adults who will contribute to society, along with that is the beautiful task of helping them to discover their sexuality in a positive way, without passing on any of the stigmas we encountered on our way to adulthood. You appear to be succeeding! | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 10:59:00 AM | At first, I would be completely calm and totally fine with it, and unconditionally supportive - and then . . . because I don't actually have any kids . . .
I'd ask them who their mother was and why they thought they were my son/daughter.
Teach your children well.
Way to go OP. | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 1:16:29 PM | My 16yo daughter is bi-sexual - she first told me she liked boys and girls when she was about 9 years old. I'm very open with the kids about sexuality and being true to yourself.
It's a compliment to you that she told you and your response was beautiful and supportive. I don't have a problem with my daughter's bi-sexuality - I do worry if she has a female partner that life will be more difficult. I'll do everything I can to make her life better by loving her for who she is. Take care. | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 1:28:56 PM | I am bisexual myself and if my child came to me and said that they feel they are gay I would first sit down with them and ask them why they think they are gay and if they came up with a logical explination I'd be very accepting and tell them that I thought that they were very brave and thank them for coming out and telling me.
After that I would maybe try and help them in their newfound sexuality by showing them gay supportive groups and introducing them to a few, trustworthy homosexual or bisexual people that I know who might make good rolemodels for them. :) | |

If your family said that about your significant other (for whatever reason). how often would you take an opportunity to visit?
I could not disown my daughter or son but if they were gay i would have a real problem with it and wouldnt be comfortable being around there significant other.
Maybe you should get to know a few people who are gay so that you realize there is no reason to be uncomfortable around them. They don't all wear neon signs alerting you to the fact that they are gay, so most likely you've met a few and were comfortable only because you didn't know. Judge not lest ye be judged and all that... | |

I interpret that story diffrently than you...
So mark you are saying that you couldjust completely cut your child out of your life forever? I know that with the love I have for my son there is no way I could allow that to happen!!! He is my heart and soul. It doesn't effing matter who he loves! Gay people don't get the choice of who they love anymore than stright people do.
The fact that you could say that makes me sad for you, and your children | |

It sounds like a bad Hallmark movie.
i'll probally get ripped to shreads for putting this, but here it goes anyway. I do not approve of homosexuality and thats the bottom line. i have a 3 year old daughter right now and hope to have son in the future. if my son or daughter came home and told me he/she is gay, i would tell he/she i do not approve and tell them its wrong if you believe in the bible.

Ironically, I feel the same way about religious fundamentalists. | |

Posted: 6/20/2008 5:46:38 AM | | I would be supportive if any of my kids came to me and said they were gay. I've always have had an open door policy in my household -- this means my children can come talk to me about ANYTHING at all without fear of being ridiculed or judged. | |

Posted: 6/20/2008 6:32:28 AM | | i would have to learn to accept my child was gay but i wouldnt have to like it or allow myself to be around it, i was in a strict catholic religion and im sorry about my beliefs but my beliefs tell me it is wrong for people to be gay. I will follow god and thats it, end of story and if he says its wrong then im not going to argue with that, man was made for woman, man wasnt made for men and vice versa, so im not saying i would cut my child out of my life but my child would also have to respect my home and religion. if he/she decided she doesnt want to visit because there significant other was not welcome than thats something i would have to accept i guess but it would hurt but under any circumstance would i change religioist views on the subject and if that makes me a bad person in the publics eyes than so be it, im not worried about the public's eyes im worried about my lord and savior | |

Posted: 6/20/2008 7:00:28 AM | | its good that you have such a strong faith mark ....but surely god wouldnt condem you for loving and excepting your child for the loving person that he or she was ....And if the pope or the church approved that it was ok for the same sex to love each other ...would you change your views ....because we are in the year 2008 ...things are changing all the time ...gay people can marry now | |

Posted: 6/20/2008 7:03:32 AM | | I guess its something that you cant control, I could probably accept a gay daughter and not be disappointed if I had other children to carry out my name. Now if I had a gay son, I'd lock him in the basement with some playboy's and a stack of bologna until he turned straight. lol | |

I'm disgusted by some of these homophobic, anti gay men comments. Get a life man. | |

i would accept him/her but that doesnt mean i have to accept there significant other into my life The Catholics I know are not sorry about their beliefs, and know that their God loves each person as a unique individual.
They know that the Catechism of the Catholic Church (#2358) tells them that all homosexuals "must be accepted with respect, compassion and sensitivity". Shunning someone (the significant other in this case) is neither respectful, compassionate nor sensitive.
For my Catholic friends to deny any homosexual the nourishment of their love and acceptance would be an active rejection of their God, and of their church's teachings.
Free your mind and your heart will follow.
