How would you react if your child turned out to be gay?

No. Not everybody.

I wouldn't care. It's their life and even if I didn't like it I couldn't change the way they feel.

I'd accept it and be cool with it but I'd be a little disappointed inside. Not that I have anything against gay or bi people.

On a serious note, I'd be somewhat upset. Sounds stupid but I'm being honest. I'd accept their sexuality but it would take some time. If I had a child, my dream would be for them to grow up, be successful and have a big family they care for. Without sounding like too much of a ****, I can't see how gay relationships with children can work. It's not only unfair on the child as they would get bullied growing up but they also need both a mother figure and a father figure in their life. I have nothing against gay people and I hope anyone reading this that is gay has a successful relationship with their boyfriends / girlfriends but from the way I look at it, it's wrong to take a child and put it in that situation no matter how much it's loved. It's just confusing for the child.

In fact, I entirely agree with Richie.

i agree with richiiiieee.
like, it would take quite a long time for me to deal with it.. but it's my daughter/son & i will love them unconditionally no matter what path they choose take.

Everyone says they wouldnt care. But really they would, I don't have anything against gays, but would not like my son/daughter to become gay/lesbian. I wouldn't exactly disown them, but it would take time for me to get used to.

Sorry if you dont like what I wrote

lol just because you would care doesn't mean everyone else has to. yeah I might be a little shocked but if I ever have kids I'd teach them that it's ok to be who they want to be and not be ashamed so no I really doubt I would care. I honestly believe I'd get over it in half an hour, it may make things difficult but would be no big deal

Sorry if you dont like what I wrote. Thats the way I feel.

just saying everyone is different and we dont all react the same or have the same beliefs. I say I won't care now but could change in the future but you can't really say everyone will care :P depends what you mean care but yeah anyway your opinion is fair enough

in all honesty i wouldn't care less..they're my child i brought them into the world and i would love and care also support them no matter what..their sexuality is irrelevant to how much i would love them

I'd just accept it as being part of who they are, who am I to judge my own child based on their choices of sexuality.
