Title: Would you disown your child if he/she told you he/she is gay/lesbian?
Post by: Andrew09 on November 12, 2012, 01:24:18 am: Would you accept it? Try to change or "fix" them? Would you kick the out of the house? Would you worry about others in the community finding out?

I don't have any kids, I'm still a teen, just a question!

Post by: LaKecias on November 12, 2012, 05:00:54 am: Although I don't approve of the gay/lesbian lifestyle, no I would not disown my children. If it happens I would still embrace and love them always. They are still my babies and would never let their sexual orientation keep me from loving them or being in their lives.

I will never turn my back on my children...I will always support them no matter what. As a parent, I am always convicted to guide them, but I don't believe a parent can guide if they can't also support and love that child unconditionally.

That is a great question. No, I would not disown my child for being gay or lesbian. I would love them for who they were.

I don't believe being "gay" is a choice and I believe that everyone deserves to love and be loved. :heart:

Post by: lorettahknox on November 12, 2012, 10:06:24 am: I would have so many questions for my child to see if this is an experimental phase or if it's their way of life. If it's an experimental thing I would help them be safe in every way I could and I would do all I could to protect them. If it is their lifestyle I would make sure they received all the help they needed to adjust to their lifestyle. I could not accept that lifestyle but, I would never stop supporting or loving my child and I would make sure they knew I loved them. no matter what lifestyle they chose.

Post by: vickysue on November 12, 2012, 03:26:16 pm: My stepson is gay, and i accepted him for what he is. I may not like his lifestyle, but it is who he is. For years i worked a town that had a very high average of gay people and learned to work with them and accept them. Up until then i had never been around them. What a culture shock.But life goes on, and you learn to accept anyone of color, race or preference.

Would you accept it? Try to change or "fix" them? Would you kick the out of the house? Would you worry about others in the community finding out?

I don't have any kids, I'm still a teen, just a question!

I would never disown my kids, no matter what they told me, and no matter what they do. Being a parent isn't easy. There are plenty of ups and down you go through with your children in life but, in the end, this is your flesh and blood - NOTHING tops that. I can easily say that I would die for my children simply because I had to work so hard to have the two I have. Nothing would make me turn my back on them.

Post by: debidoo on November 12, 2012, 05:13:34 pm: Well, I wouldn't disown them, wouldn't kick them out of the house unless their lifestyle was causing me too much upsetment but I wouldn't try to fix them either. I don't think you can fix anyone. What I would do is pray that God would fix them if he wanted them fixed and try to maintain as much of a relationship with them as I could. :peace:

Post by: debidoo on November 12, 2012, 05:15:34 pm: oh P.S. The last thing I would do is worry about people in the community finding out. I think that there are people who think they are better than you, have less problems than you etc but it usually doesn't turn out that way and don't much care what anyone says or thinks about me or mine.

Being gay isn't a "lifestyle". Unless you think being white, black or Asian is also a lifestyle.

I don't have any kids, I'm still a teen, just a question!

I personally believe when a child tells you he/she is gay it's not because they want to hurt you, it's because something inside of them makes them feel opposite of what is showing on the outside. As a parent, I would never turn my back on my children; nor would I condemn them for being who they are!!! If there is anything a child needs most it is ACCEPTANCE OF WHO THEY ARE - you cannot try to change or "fix" them because it's NOT A PROBLEM TO BE FIXED!!!! Love your children no matter what they tell you and accept them for who they are - THAT'S A PARENTS' JOB!!!!!!!!!! God gave children to us to love and cherish not to judge!!!!!

Title: Re: Would you disown your child if he/she told you he/she is gay/lesbian?
Post by: babyturtles23 on December 02, 2012, 03:44:54 pm: Nope! Being gay or lesbian is not a choice, it's not a "lifestyle", and it's nothing wrong. Some may not understand, but you really are born that way. Just like straight people are automatically attracted to the opposite sex, that's how gay people are and are attracted to the same sex. They do not choose to like the same sex. If they're happy let them be. Would you rather want your child to be straight and in an abusive, unhappy, or loveless relationship? If anything that's more of a reason to be there for your child. It's hard enough keeping it a secret and having all these thoughts go through your head wondering how the world will react. Your parents should be your number one supporters. There is also no "fixing" your child. You cannot "fix" this and turn them straight. On top of that, there's nothing wrong with being gay so there's nothing to fix.

I wouldn't like that they did that but they are mine. but speaking as far as a person who has gay friends and a gay brother-in-law, it is their choice. I don't hate them any less, nor do they try to force it on me so if my girls came to me and said they wanted to be with another girl i would understand.

A real parent wouldnt do that and i dont understand why some parents do. A sexual oriention is not something that can be changed or fixed either at least humans cant change that and it surprises me that theres still people out there that it can be *fixed* somehow or changed.

Post by: PGS28 on December 12, 2012, 09:12:28 am: Absolutely not. There are things they could do to make me disappointed in them, but their sexual preference isn't one of them and I'm the type of person that doesn't give a flying fig what anyone thinks and that deletes a lot of stress from my life, because people are going to talk regardless, and the main ones yapping are usually hypocrites. :cat:

That's no reason to disown your child. I wouldn't try to "change" or "fix" them either, there's nothing to fix. They are who they are, gay or not, they'd still be my child and I wouldn't love them any less.

Post by: diala84 on December 16, 2012, 08:34:54 am: If I had a child I would accept them for who they are including their sexual orientation. The worst thing I could do is to make them scared to pretend to be something that they aren't.
