If your child came out as Gay/Les, what would you say? email this discussion to a friend?

aprylmay (29)   ranked 27,234 out of 38,036 in life2 months ago

For most adults, this is a nightmare. Your child comes up to you and says "Mommy/Daddy, I have something to tell you. I like [the same sex]." What would your response be? Have you already gone through this situation? If so, please let us know.

Gay marriage is a hot topic now a-days in politics (in the USA). How do you feel on the situation? If your child was Gay or Lesbian, would you feel differently?

Gay & Lesbian Children: do you think they exist? Have you met one? Were you one as a child?

i wouldn't mind in the slightest as long as they were happy,if they were very young i'd ask them to keep an open mind bout their sexuality,as things change with age

That's too true. Sometimes they could just be bi. With time, things change. We grow older, fall in love with who we fall in love with. There isn't much you can change about that.

What's to say?? They'd still be the same person I've always loved so I guess I'd just say 'ok' & hope that they'd be happy & healthy & that they found somone they could have a mutually caring and respecting relationship with - if that's what they wanted. So, pretty much the same as I'd feel already.

Would you support him/her at pride parades? Or would your love just extend to acceptance?

I really appreciate your real and open response. Its good when people can openly describe their experiences and how it's made them grow and learn from it.

Reading the responses in this discussion, few but diverse as they may be, I believe that parents today have a more open and accepting response then those when we were all kids.

I wouldnt be thrilled about it but I would still love and support them being that they are my kids. If thats what they want to be then thats their right and I would want to support them.


aprylmay (29)   ranked 27,234 out of 38,036 in life  2 months ago

As long as we're supportive and our love is unwavering over something silly as what our child fantasizes about, the world will grow to be more loving and unbiased.

I can't wait until bigotry is pretty much diminished. Then, there would be no need for Pride Parades (which really does increase peoples pride and the "we're better than you" mind set, imo).

How do you (and other fellow myLotters) Pride Parades?
