To moms and dads what would you say if your kid ?

Question

is g*y, if they came up to you and told you would you be mad or be happy for them, i have NO prob with g*y men or women i have g*y friends and i think they are the nicest people i`ve ever met

Answer 1

AS a parent I would be actually nervous about having a g*y child, nothing against anyone who is g*y...but I know what happens to people who are g*y. I wouldn't want my child to have to go the things that g*y people go threw on a regular day. hopefully g*y people will be accepted some time soon. But other than that it wouldn't bother me as long as my daughters are happy

Answer 2

If my child was happy, I would be happy.  

Answer 3

I'd say something like,  "as much as i hate it, society has no respect for people's personal choices and certain people will tell you you're less of a person, or mental, or whatever they can think of to hurt you because they're scared of you. you're different. people cant cope with that. so hold your head high and dont ever give into their bullying because they have nothing under their strong image. but if you ever feel like they're too much to handle, i'm always here for you to talk to. i love you more than anyone ever will so dont be scared to say anything you want to me." something like that

Answer 4

Glenna,

Well stated.  A person's sexuall orientation shouldn't affect what you think of them.

Even for those with religious believes against homosexuality, being a homosexual isn't a sin... participating in homosexual activities is the sin.  

Answer 5

As a mother, I'd be accepting.  I'm not going to be happy and I'm not going to be mad.  I'm just gonna continue to love and support them no matter what.  Sexual preference has NOTHING to do with how I love my children.

Answer 6

To be honest I am not sure how I would react. I do know I would still love my child unconditionally and regardless. I can sit here and say what I "think" I would do or say,but I cannot guarantee that is what I would really do in the situation. I know how my husband would react tho.  

Answer 7

I would say, no big deal, make sure you have safe s*x, and I love you.

Answer 8

I think, in all honesty, that I'd be a little sad.  I'd still love them as I always have, but it'd be a little bit scary for me at first because society puts such a negative stigma on the homosexual.  Also, I come from a family that is extremely religious and I'd feel bad that some of his/her relatives may not be as accepting as the immediate family would be.

Answer 9

I'd be neither mad nor happy for them, because I don't think it's a bad or a good thing to be g*y -- any more than it's good or bad to be a certain height or to have a certain eye color.  I would, however, be proud that in a society where saying you're g*y can carry some risks, that they were true to themselves and didn't feel the need to disguise who they really were.

Answer 10

I have no problem with it, I have a few g*y friends, and a couple family members as well. So it doesn't bother me at all.

My husband on the other hand would probably flip out. He seems to have issues with g*y couples. (mainly men really)

Answer 11

I don't know. I really don't.

Answer 12

I would ask them how that's working for them, see if they need help coping or dealing with it all.
