Since this is such a hot topic right now I thought I would ask .. what you would do if your child came to you and told you they had homosexual feelings ... or flat out told you they were gay.... your reaction? PLEASE NOTE .... this is NOT a thread to flame in.. this is for logical debate ... ( note .. logical) To me .. they are still my child... I would discuss it with them and then leave it... if they need to talk to me I would always be open to it and hope we could maintain that level of communication. Love Surpasses everything .. even in the bible .. love is the strongest | ||

Since I don't feel that there is anything wrong with being gay, I would have no problem with it. I would simply say "OK. I love you very much and I am happy to listen if you need to talk"

I would probably be a little upset at first, but I would reassure her that I love her no matter what and that I will support her. Either way around it, she's still my daughter and her sexual preference isn't going to change that!

I would just reiterate how important safe sex is, whether it be with a man or a woman, tell him I love him, and for him to come to me if he needs to talk.

I will support them no matter what. I would however feel bad for them knowing how hard it is to lead an alternative lifestyle.

Doesn't change a thing for me. My stepson is gay, and my son is bisexual....and I love them both with all my heart.

well to be honest I would be sad. I would love my child the same, treat her no different, and make sure she knows I am supportive of her decision. BUt I also have to admit that I would be sad that she would not be having a wedding and having children.
