Would you accept a gay child?

[Aiden]

I think some religion groups are pretty dumb (the people, not the religion). I think they have the right to believe what they want, but not act on it! Not all religious people are like this though...

Religion is like dying out anyways lol

[Absently]

yeah, I really wouldn't care whether my kid was gay or bisexual, it really doesn't bother me one bit. i have always been taught growing up that it was okay to be who you are (except if you are like a murderer or something?!?!?!?), and considering my mum thought at one stage i might have actually been a lesbian (not exactly sure why, probably because i wasn't very open about a lot of stuff) she always made it be known that it was completely fine all she wanted was to know whether or not. i'd just be glad enough that my child felt close enough to me to tell me.

I think I would be bothered but I wouldn't try to influence their decisions

I wouldn't care at all, I'd never disown them or anything like that 'cause of it. I don't see how anyone could . My parents have always thought I was lesbian, not sure why, but they always ask me if I am and tell me that they wouldn't care if I was they just want me to talk to them about it etc. I'd want my child to be able to talk to me about it too instead of thinking I'd disown them once I knew .

In all seriousness, if you disown your child for being gay then you are such a bad parent. I don't see how anyone could too.

Due to my upbringing and family heritage, it would simply be wrong for me to accept such an abomination. My family has a strong history and we are very proud of this, I can’t see a homosexual being accepted within our household. Let us look at Mark 10. 1-12 – “[A] man shall leave his father and mother, and be made one with his wife and the two shall become one flesh.” The commander of these words is God, in his eyes homosexual relations is wrong. This is an unambiguous line. It was one of the sins that justified God in giving land of Canaan to the Israelites. There are several verses in the Bible that contest that homosexuality is wrong in the eyes of God. God has a great bearing over our family heritage, we simply can’t disagree with God.

Where does it say in that quote that homosexuality is wrong? Not talking about you specifically, I just have you quoted but some of the comments in this thread disgust me. I accept peoples views but some comments are just unnecessary.

If I had a gay son he'd be FABULOUS!

I think it's pretty obvious how that quote excludes homosexuality as it's made clear time and time again in the Bible that the correct human relationship/union in the eyes of God is one between a man and a woman who then give birth and the process is repeated over and over.

Endless quotes condemning homosexuality throughout the Holy Book and promoting male-female relatinships - it's rather like the gay marriage debate. Some smart arses attempt to be clever and say 'well the Bible doesn't say anything about gay marriage so therefore how can you be against it on religious/cultural grounds' when, as US Talkshow host Michael Savage put it, people 2,000 years ago weren't that stupid that they needed it spelled out for them that gay marriage wasn't approved of by scripture because it's clear that homosexuality is condemned by scripture therefore the concept of gay 'marriage' is condemned by its very nature.
