What would you do when your child grows up and says he/she is a gay/lesbian? Would you accept him/her the way they are or you would try to make them straight?

Geez, even the thoughts of it starts me fuming. But of course, I'd try all my best to guide my child to be straight. I think while they are still at a very raw age, we can mold them to be straight.

My question is can you try to mold them and make them straight I mean when they realise that they are not straight they are not in their raw age anymore isn't it?

Part of being a parent is loving your child unconditionally. For that reason, if my daughter ends up being a lesbian, I will support her, just like I always do.

I wouldn't care to be honest, as long as it didn't come with a personality transplant it's all good! lol!..but on the other hand, if they came to me and said they were a serial killer.....! lol!

I would just tell them use protection which you should even if your straight. Your children are your children no matter what and i would have to respect their decision and wish them the best that life has to offer.
