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

[ajann1983]

NO i would not disown my child if they told me they were gay. I would accept them and be happy that they were able to talk to me about it.

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.

I believe it is genetic and not a lifestyle choice. I would never disown a child for something they can't help being.

i sure wouldent approve of it,,but i wouldent disown them

I don't have any kids either. But, I would not disown my child (if I had one) if they weren't heterosexual. 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.

Why would any parent do that? You love your children unconditionally and should respect their life choices. While you may feel that that choices that they may make will prove to be difficult you still have to support them.

I would love them the same as I always have. Who they love is not for me to decide.

[bremer51]

Seriously?  Who could do that?

[diala84]

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.
