How would you react if your child turned out to be g*y?

Question

I don't have any kids so I wouldn't know. First off I would like to say that I don't believe in the ridiculous theory that people are born g*y. I believe its the environment they live on is what makes you who you are.

Anyways how would you feel about having a g*y kid?

Answer 1

Your kid is your kid and you love them no matter what.

Answer 2

It wouldn't be even a slight issue for me. I would just want my child to be happy & to find love whomever that may be with.

So according to your theory that its environment & not genetics you believe that your sexuality would be different had you been raised differently??? That sounds much more ridiculous to me.

Answer 3

fine and i would support him cause they get a lot of criticism

Answer 4

I dont think you could ever know how you would react until it happened to you.

Answer 5

I would still love them its doesnt change who they are at all i think its very sad if you stop talking to ur child coz of that

Answer 6

haha yeah and i dont believe in the ridiculous theory of gravity, but it doesnt make it any less real, its been scientifically proven that many g*y people have physical differences in size and shape of parts of the brain...maybe do some research before sounding like such a moron...if my kid was g*y i would love them and keep them away from people like you

Answer 7

I would be fine with it....when you get knocked up that is what you sign on for. You have to love that kid for whoever they turn out to be and support them when they need you. If they are truly g*y and not looking for attention or trying to rebel, then be grateful they have that lifted off their shoulders!!

Answer 8

Have to disagree with you on the whole "not born that way" thing, primarily because there is so much evidence to the contrary. My cousin grew up in the most testosterone filled environment you could imagine, his two brothers are VERY straight bikers, but he was g*y (he has since passed away from cancer, may he rest in peace).

I've never understood how homophobia could be so commonplace, but it is, and it's something we have to deal with. Fortunately, I am not homophobic, and so this will never be an issue for me. I will always love my kids for who they are, not whom they love.

It's not as if I could just decide to be g*y, so it would be rather ridiculous to expect my child to just decide to be straight. It doesn't work that way.

Also, just an aside to baby boy 2 due in august, what you referred to as "big tacky cross dressers and such" would actually be called transvestites, and it's not quite the same as homosexuality. It has to do with the gender they view themselves as, not the gender they are attracted to. It seems a bit unfair to expect them to tone down their personalities, as that's just who they are, though I appreciate your position on g*y rights.

You're right, love is beautiful, and no mere human being has the right to say what kind of love is acceptable.

Answer 9

I think you would love them just the same. But it would hard to know they could not give you some grandchildren one day. People don't turn g*y from their environment, it is in their genes. If they choose to live as a g*y person is another story. Many g*y people live their whole life straight because they worry what people might think.

Answer 10

I don't have kids, but I would be scared for them because of the discrimination they will face.

i don't believe it is just the environment that makes them g*y. There are homosexual couples who raise perfectly straight children.

Answer 11

HONESTLY i would be disaponted,

i would still love them though,

Just disapointed because i may or may not have

the option of having grandchildren,unless they adopt,

but since adoption is a little expensive,

hmmm,yeah,....

Answer 12

No, you do not come out saying "oooo, I like the same s*x". But I was a L*****n for many, many years before I met my husband. Odd, I know. But I remember feeling weird in Elementary school because I always wanted to kiss my girl friends. This was as early as 9 years old. My first relationship was at 13 and it was with a girl. I still do not find men attractive, but I LOVE my husband. He treats me better than anyone ever has and I don't care that is is a male. I love my family, my kids, my life and if my child were g*y, I would still love them so much. Love is love....PERIOD!

Answer 13

How can living in a certain environment make a child turn out to be g*y!! So your more or less blaming how the parents brought up the child, wake up to youself.

Answer 14

It has been proven that they are born g*y. I am sure that some things in their environment might change things but it is not the sole reason. You must not be g*y so how can you understand. I have family members that are g*y and talking to them and knowing their life, they were born that way. I would accept them for who they are. If the environment is what makes people who they are how do you have three children or even four and only get one g*y child? They lived the same life and were raised by the same people?

Answer 15

Not happy at first ... but ... good lord! Its my child ... I will love them as I did before and welcome their partner (if they are worthy) with love and understanding ...

Just because they are g*y doesnt mean they will be worthy of my love and support ... they would have to treat my daughters with love and respect ... then I would be ok with them ... same as a young man .... (I have daughters aged 13, 13, and 25)

Answer 16

I think it's a combination of being born and being raised that makes a person who they are, sexual orientation included.  If my child turned out to be g*y, then I guess I'd have a child that was g*y.  I'd be supportive and I would hope that they are happy with their choice of a partner whoever they are.  I would also hope that they are mature and responsible people in society.

Answer 17

i would be so happy omg

then I could make my kid wear makeup and give him a hello kitty purse and he would look so adorable with a boyfriend.

Answer 18

I'd love them anyway.

I have a stepbrother who's g*y, and he swears he's known it since he was 5 years old. Looking back on it, I believe him. The environment he/we grew up in was totally not encouraging of g**s, and in fact when he came out, it was really tough for my parents. Also, the rest of us didn't turn out g*y, so I don't think the environment made him that way.

If my kids were g*y, I'd hope that they found a loving, monogamous relationship, and that they were decent people who cared about the people and the world around them. I'd also do what I could to support them.

Answer 19

I have three 9 month old boys...and with as much love as I have for them right now, I can't see them being g*y...never really even crossed my mind.  I think that between all the fishing, four-wheeling, snowmobiling, and "man things" my husband and I like to do...there isn't a great chance of that happening!  Too much testosterone here!  I think Environment plays a big role.  I don't think it's wrong to be g*y, but I've never known any of my "farmer/hillbilly" friends to have kids that were g*y??

Answer 20

I believe it is a little of both. You can just be g*y, it can just be part of who you are, or it can be something that is brought out threwout life.

BUT anyways...I stand strongly behind g*y rights....Love is beautiful, I am happy for anyone who finds it. Tho I am not so big on the flashy g**s, big tacky cross dressers and such, you don't have to be dramatic to be g*y. I have friends and family that are g*y.

If Either of my sons turns out to be g*y, i wont be affected at all. I will love him that same and wish all the happiness I can on him. It is his life and all I want is for him to be happy.

Answer 21

well there are quite a few g**s in my family thank u very much. and i support them, so if my daughter turned out gey id say more power to her!

i really dont get what is sooooo wrong with being g*y, its not like u have to be so y care if someone else is, u kno what i mean.

y cant ppl just leave g**s alone and let them be happy, they aint tellin u how to live...

just my opinion
