Would you disown your child if he/she told you he/she is gay/lesbian?

[articx]

If I had a child(ren), I would not disown him/her/them.

[lorettahknox]

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.

omg, of course not, they are still your child, i am sure there are things about me they dont agree with hope my son doesnt disown me because of it lol

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.

I dont have children but if i didnt i wouldnt change them and accept it. I have a younger sister who is a lesbian and recently came out. We still love her just the way she is.

NO..! I love my kids too much..!

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.

No I will never disown either of my children. I believe strongly in choice and will never go against them for being who the are.

[debidoo]

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.   

[debidoo]

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.

it'll take me time to adjust to it but in the end i will still love them

[jowbow]

I have to many friends that are gay/lesbian.  So disowning my child would be wrong because I except the lifestyles of my friends.  And my child would have a lot of people to talk to about what he/she is going thru.

[CHANEYLAKEGIRL]

No, I would not turn my back on them.

[kimmy_1330]

I would love my kids no matter what and I don't think there is anything wrong with being gay.

[ghunter]

No, I will not disown my child, but I would try to change them because you are not born that why.  A child learn what they hear and see, so try to remember that.  God do not made any mistakes, so its a choice.
