Answer 2

I would accept him for who he is.

Answer 3

I would except and love my child no matter what. I do not care what their sexually preference is as long as they are happy than that is all that matters to me.  

It should not matter what your religious believe is or weather or not you personally agree with it. that is your child. all that you should care about is that your child is happy.

Answer 4

I would love my child exactly the same. Maybe more so because they were comfortable enough to tell me. They are still the same person I gave birth to. Nothing will ever change the amount of love I have for them.

Answer 5

I would be disappointed but that's my child, I would love them regardless...A mother's love never wavers...

Answer 6

I am mom to 4 kids who are now 29, 26, 23, and 10.  Our 26 year old is our only son and he is g*y.  He was 19 years old when he officially told us, but we had some suspicions before that.  The love my husband and I have for our son has never changed or faltered.  It is as strong, and maybe even a bit stronger, now as it was before he told us he was g*y.  We are a Christian family and our children were raised in church, active in Sunday School, youth group, mission trips, and music groups.  It has been a process (and will probably continue to be) coming to an understanding and acceptance of what having a g*y son means for our relationship to him and the dynamics of our family.  Having a younger child (she was conceived quite unexpectedly when I had reliably been taking birth control pills for 11 years!) has proven challenging as we still want to convey our personnel beliefs on what it means to be in a loving, committed relationship.  Just a few months ago, we had a conversation, instigated by her, as to her brother being g*y and what that meant.  Our older children were not aware of homosexuality in such intimate terms until they were considerably older.  My husband and I have had lengthy, private conversations about our son's homosexuality.  Sometimes it is hard because it is not something we ever imagined would happen.  I went through a bit of something akin to mourning as I thought about never having a daughter-in-law and while it wouldn't be impossible, it isn't as likely he will ever give me grandchildren.  Parents who have homosexual children have to make some decisions, some very hard decisions.  For my husband and I, we like to say our son is a wonderful human being, a great son, we couldn't ask for better.  He is compassionate, hard-working, honest, a gifted cellist with a beautiful singing voice.  He has a great eye for color and design.  Those are the things we want people to know about our son.  Being g*y is just one part of who he is and to us, it is not the most important part.  We can love him as he is or deny him for who he is.  We choose to love him as he is.

Answer 7

I would help my child understand what was really going on. I would ask questions like How long have you felt this way? to narrow down id the child thinks they were born this way or decide if the child has just began thinking this. Often a child will make the decission when they are so young from some influence that they forget making the choice and think they were born this way.

I would understand if more was behind this, a few percentage of these children want to be the opposite gender and think they are g*y. That is something different. Gender identity dissorder.

But asking the right questions are important. My belief now is that one does not go to Heaven as a homosexual that is practicing. It keeps the child from living as God had planned for them. A child at first may not understand religious issues, or be in such conflict with them that it causes great depressions.

Always love the child and pray for the child and know that your child will be lead by God if it is meant to be, because I was also a g*y child that had conflict and at age 40 I was delivered from this. Not to say i did not live as a homosexual, i did. But it was meant for me to be gods child and so it was.

But I questioned it and kept god at a hands distance, meaning, I never left god.

Answer 8

I mean of course I would be dissapointed, but that is just because, you know, you want your kids to have a so called "normal" life, and you want grandkids, and if your child is g*y, you don't really know if you will have grandkids.  But other than that, I would be very accapting and still love my children(how could I not)and try to make their lives easier, by being compassionate and understanding, and knowing that their life is going to be more difficult because they are in a minority.

Answer 9

I would accept them for who they are no matter what ..

Answer 10

I'm not a mother but if i was it would depend on then age my child told me

if it a young age i would note it in my head but ask  be cause some kids just go throw a phase of thinking their g*y

if they were older and told me i would ask them how they know and double check.

if they were g*y i would love them the same no mater what i want to make sure they are not confused about anything and if i could answer it.

long as they are sure of themselves, happy and not hurting any one i would be fine

Answer 11

I wouldn't DO anything except wish them happiness in life and that they find a special person who cherishes them, loves them, and is a good partner who is respectful.....the SAME that I'd wish for my heterosexual child......no difference.

Answer 12

i would love them no differently.  i created them and therefore they are a part of me.  i think people that would give their children a hard time should feel ashamed of themselves.  a parental love should be unconditional!!!

Answer 13

I would tell him or her that I love him/her and that I am proud of them for being open with me and with themselves.

Answer 14

I have one son and one daughter, if they ever tell me that they were g*y I would probably be shock since my boy is very "boyish" and my girl is very "girlish" (even though it usually don't matter how they act) I would still care for my kids.  I couldn't disown my children for that.  I wouldn't want them to be g*y, I don't think most parents would want their kids to be g*y, but life is not always going to go the way you want it.  So parents will have to deal with it one way or another.

Answer 15

I would be completely fine with it.  I believe being g*y isn't a choice its the way you were born.

Answer 16

I would laugh seeing how she is only a year,If she were older like around her teens,I would hug her,and kiss her on the cheek,I would tell her no matter who she chooses to love,and who chooses to love her I will never turn my back on her.

It would be a hard pill to swallow thou,it would take me some time to get used to it,and a few months before I would be able to see the person she was with as her partner.Not just as her friend.

Answer 17

First off, i am not religious whatsoever.

But, i would accept him/her completely.

I would hold no prejudice against them.

They can't control their sexuality, why should i try.

Answer 18

Accept them for what their beliefs are.  Make sure they if they need help with the adjustment, it is attainable.
