"Mom, Dad... I'm gay"

 

how would you react? would you say "yay! or get out of this freaking house" (obviously those are extremes reactions, but you get what i mean ...i think :uhoh:)

would you have the boyfriend/girlfriend over for christmas dinner? or would you avoid your son/daughter in every situation you can?

would you be a proud parent, talking about their broken hearts or would you avoid the subject?

would you say "yes my son/daughter is gay"

 

or

 

would you lie to every possible person you can lie to?

 

 

THOUGHTS???

I can't say I have any idea what I'd do... :laugh3:

If my child admitted to me that they were gay, yeah I'd be shocked. Whether it be that I saw it coming and didn't want to think about it or that I had no idea, I'd be pretty shocked. But I'm always going to love that child no matter what, and have to accept it. I can't tell them who they can't or cannot love.

 

I would treat the person that my son/daughter is having a relationship with like a normal person. I'd act as if nothing is different, and they are just people. I wouldn't parade around going 'oh yes my child is gay', but if I so happened to have a conversation with a person and it came up, and they asked, I can't see why I have to lie.

yeah, i'd be quite shocked at first, too.

but i'd definitely get over it.

at least my kid is able to love :laugh3:

so yeah, i'd always support my child and listen to them no matter what and no matter who they love.

his/her boyfriend/girlfriend will be part of our family then. i mean, my child loves that person and i don't have the right to tell them what to do.

Even worse - what if he said he was a James Blunt fan??:stunned:

i'd probably not be as welcoming as the girls who posted above me...

I would accept that part of my child.

Because it doesn't change the fact that he/she would be a great persona in my life...it's all love. You cannot put boundries on that.

 

It wouldn't change a thing.

I'd simply say okay.

Or ogay??:rolleyes:

Or ogay??:rolleyes:

 

Yes, maybe even that :lol:

mark, you come up with the crappiest puns, but i still have to laugh about them. :stunned:

Well, as the girls above, I think I'd be kinda shocked as well. Well, actually I can't really say that because maybe when I grow up I'll be able to accept ideas more openly. Anyway, I can't imagine myself denying my son or daughter is he/she is gay. They would need my support and my husband's more than the other ones's support since we're the parents and standing by them really does count a lot. Love in first place, that's for sure. He is my son/daughter no matter what.

 

I dunno, but I have the impression that fathers are more relutant to that. I mean, it seems harder for them to accept the fact that your son is gay...Mothers seem more comprehensive...

I would be kinda curious of the since when and with who... I have had a lot of gay girlfriends around my social circles ... enough to be pretty darn comfortable around them. I don't know why someone would be so upset if their child is happy with whoever.

 

I wouldn't be ashamed. I mean, I don't know how I would react for a fact. But I would like to say I hope to have an open mind. If they say they are bisexual..now that is a different thing all together

i'd be devastated to be honest but i'd support them anyway and i wouldn't stop them from bringing their partner home. there is no point in denying it as a parent either.

Id be shocked but I wouldn't disapprove in any way. I'll admit that it'd be weird to have my son bring another boy home, but if that guy makes him insanely happy then so be it. :nice:

I'd be disappointed simply because of how important family is.

 

I can't imagine going through my life without having children, and in turn grandchildren. It's a part of my life I've always assumed will be there, and to assume that a child of mine would be gay, is something that would take quite a while for me to get over, quite honestly.

 

I have nothing against gay people, at all. Don't get me wrong. But I would be disappointed, for sure. I want a generic family, type of thing. If you understand that.

I'd accept it. Why trying to fight it? I mean, trying to fight it would make everything worse. It'd be bad to have my son/ my daughter against me.

That'd be not what I want.

If he/she is happy this way, I wouldn't try to interfer in his/her life.

i know what you mean, i guess i'd feel the same.

I don't plan on having children, so my views on the matter are null and void.
