Your Child is Gay

This is mainly for those members here that are against same sex marriage and homosexuality in general.

Imagine for just a moment...your child comes out to you that they are gay. What do you do? How do you feel?

If they are an adult and want to marry and start a family with their partner...do you feel entirely comfortable in telling them they shouldn't have that right? That they're living their lives completely wrong? That their love of their partner is an "abomination"?

How do you think you would honestly handle it if your very own child were gay?

Awesome question! :D

Kids of these parents would probably kill themselves before having the courage to come to their insanely bigoted parents about this.

edit: oh and I do mean that literally.....
or they will deny who they truly are because apparently who they truly are is a sin and an abomination

I'll be surprised if I get many answers to this "awesome question" though. When I've asked such a thing before I tend to get ridiculous answers such as "That won't ever happen because I've instilled the right morals in my children." :rolleyes: Yeah, as if that makes the hetero/homo difference. :areyoucra The only thing "instilling" how "wrong" it is to be homosexual to a homosexual child does is to make them suppress who they are and their true feelings to the point of being miserable. But I guess some parents would rather their children be miserable and hide who they really are than ever be *gasp* gay. :sarcastic

I'd be just as happy if my kids came home with romantic interest of their sex or the opposite.

Hell, I'd be happy if the demon spawn of me and Guitar's Cry came home with anyone!

Hahahaha.

Yea, I agree. If I ever have kids and any of em came home with someone, be it their sex or the opposite, as long as that person is healthy for them and makes them happy, I will be thrilled.

I don't know how many people never find true love but I hear it ain't a lot! So if my kid thinks they've found it, I couldn't ever care less who it is with.

I have no problem with however any one choses to live their lives.
If my child came to me and told me they were gay I would take them in my arms and reassure them that I love them. They have been raised to make their own choices in life. I can't live my children's life for them and I wouldn't presume to even try. It would be no different then when my son chose a woman of another race to be his wife. I accepted her as a member of our family. I'm sure I raised a lot of eye brows in some of the churches where people know me, but I just asked that God forgive their bigotry.........;)

That's wonderful of you Charity. I do want to ask though...would you support them getting legally married? Adopting and raising children together? Would you have issues with these things or would you have the mindset of "Whatever makes my child happiest in their life"?

I would support whatever decisions they made. When my son married I was right there at the wedding, proud as any mom......I had a gay brother in law, he and I were like sisters :D....It was like two girls on a shopping trip when we went out for lunch and to the mall. He always picked out clothes for me and was usually better at it than I was. If anything upset me my he knew it and could tell something was wrong with me before my husband could tell......Now what do you think I would do as far as support to my children if they were gay? :p

Of course, I'd be more than okay with it. There's no reason not to support it.

As long as they find true love. (and for the record, I also would be okay if "true love" was plural. ;))

Asked his position on the subject at a town hall meeting here, Cheney replied: "Lynne and I have a gay daughter, so it's an issue that our family is very familiar with. . . . With respect to the question of relationships, my general view is that freedom means freedom for everyone. People . . . ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to."
