I've seen a LOT of straight 'Religious' parents (and even pastors/priests etc..) with gay children. Some of the children have been completely disowned, some get bashed up, some get the silent treatment and some even get fully accepted and loved unconditionally by their parents.
My question is (as above), among others.
(a)- Is it a sin to love and accept your gay/son daughter un-conditionally?
(b)- Is it a sin to be proud of your gay son/daughter?
(c)- Is it a sin to openly defend your gay son/daughter against anti-gay messages/preaching/prejudices/people?
(d)- Is it a sin to 'not' send your gay son/daughter to ex-gay conversion therapy?
(e)- Is it a sin to 'not' tell them to repent of their apparent sin (of homosexuality)?
(f)- Is it a sin to 'not' pump the chosen "Holy Book" into them until they understand that who they are / what they 'do' is an abomination in the eyes of God?
(g)- Would it be a sin if you/them 'gave up' on fighting your gay son/daughter's homosexuality?
(h)- Is it a sin to allow a homosexual person to join you in church?
(i) - Would it be a sin to allow your gay son/daughter to have a Partner/Soulmate/Lover?
(j) - Would it be a sin to allow your gay son/daughter to bring their Partner/Soulmate/Lover to church with them?
In my opinion, i would answer "NO" to all of these questions.
I would like to know what others would answer to these questions.
If you choose "YES" to any of them, could you explain why?
If you choose "NO" to any (if not - All), can you try to explain why these things happen sooooooooooo often in Christian families?
Also - I'd be interested to know peoples opinions on the following questions.
(k) - Would you be disappointed if your son/daugther was gay? (if so, who would you be disappointed in? your self, someone/something else or your son/daughter)
(l) - Would you disown your gay son/daughter? if not - what are the thoughts about Religious parents disowning their gay children?
(m) - How would it effect your relationship with your son/daughter?
(n) - How would it effect your relationship with God (if you couldn't turn your son/daughter straight) ?
(o) - If You chose "Yes" to any of the questions in the first section, how do you think this would effect your son/daughter? and how do you think they would feel/re-act?
(p) - What are some of the fears that you have about 'if your son/daughter was gay' ?
Sorry bout so many questions, but thought i'd just put them all in 1 thread.
