FInding out one of your children is Gay

How would you react if one of your kids told you that he or she was gay?

KeLLi · #2 (**permalink**) 07-16-2007, 01:13 AM

I would be fine with it. It doesn't bother me. I would be happy to know they are able to come to me.

me too..i have no problems about it...

I wouldn't have a problem with it. Sexual orientation shouldn't be judged. As long as they are happy I will be happy.

kitsch_k · #5 (**permalink**) 07-18-2007, 07:59 AM

yeah..it all boils down to your loved ones' happiness..whatever makes them happy

as long as they dont hurt people along the way.

I wouldn't have a problem with it. Nothing could diminish my love for them. I would worry, though, that their life would be harder..but so many people have so many obstacles to overcome; there is no guarantee life will be easy.

Lila42, I would worry as well. Life can be harder for them. However, I think our society is becoming more diverse on this subject. I mean alot of companies are starting to recognize domestic partners so they can be qualified for health insurance and other types of insurances offered by the company.

I agree. Just ten years ago being gay was a lot harder..I think there is much more of an acceptance now: I hope one day this prejudice will not exist at all.

Wouldn't bother me. Love is love, no matter what gender you are attracted to. Better to "come out" than lead a life in the closet. More acceptable today because older gays/lesbians had the guts to come out.

my mom is a devout catholic but she said that she doesnt mind that if she had a gay son, what matters really is that she has a good son.

There isn't much I can do if my son told me he was Gay. I mean I couldn't be angry because that isn't going to change anything, I guess I would just accept.

It wouldn't bother me, because I have considered
the concept quite a few times. My son, who is a
sweetheart, has displayed some strange, but endearing
tendencies throughout the years. Only time will tell.

Well when my family found out I was gay it was all out of reach for them but I'm just too easy to love and hard to foret so they had no other choice but to except it.

Gilipsie · #14 (**permalink**) 11-09-2007, 02:21 PM

Well to be honest I think that my daughter may be gay. I have been watching her and wondering about her newly formed habits. And I dont' think it's bothering me yet, I don't think that it would bother me I just want her to tell me.

crystal1 · #15 (**permalink**) 11-17-2007, 05:00 PM

I know to know that or find out about it at least is a hurtful, painful thing to go through. It has to be. I know that I wouldn't be able to handle it right off but at the same time what can you do?

laura · #16 (**permalink**) 01-01-2008, 04:02 PM

I'd be totally supportive. As long as he/she is happy and true to him/herself, I'm happy.

I cant have children so I dont know.

I knew a woman that was gay though, but she got an STD and died.

Now that's just HORRIBLE! How could that have happened? I, myself have been a little bi-curious. I really don't see a problem with it.

Aunt Bea · #19 (**permalink**) 01-03-2008, 02:04 PM

really?

wow..... thats uncomfortable to me.

arent you afraid of catching an STD?

I havent had sex since I lost my ear. so I dont need to worry about getting any of them.

Oh my, how did that happen? If you don't mind me asking. How long have you been without sex? My longest stretch was about 4 years! But since I hit 30, its been a crazy rollercoaster for me, as I just can't get it enough! I even bought some of thoses 'toys', if you know what I mean.

I lost my ear while shoeing horses for my father. he has a farm that I help him out on. I was shoing this stubborn horse and slipped in the mud my cigarette touched his private parts accidentally and he kicked me in the side of my head and it ripped my ear off. They were never able to repair it, and I ended up losing my ear. I think thats why I dont have sex anymore, men arent attracted to me with my missing ear. I feel like a Leper sometimes. And I am so afraid of catching STDs. I havent had sex in 12 years.

raven1083 · #22 (**permalink**) 02-06-2008, 08:06 PM

of course as a father i will become disappointed at first and become worried with him or her but i ill understand her or his situation and support her or him because she or he is still the product of my own flesh and blood.

That is possible one of the saddest stories that I have ever heard. How horrible for you to not have sex for 12 years.

Don't you ever get the URGE??
