What would you do if you found your child was not straight.

And you thought they were all that time.

Weird question.

Are you asking for coming out stories to reassure yourself? There will be many.

Otherwise, you're trying to imagine how teenagers (mostly) would carry out their parenting in 20 years' time. I think few will be prepared to give a substantial or meaningful answer.

This question may have different answers based on generations. Some would abandon the person, others will accept them. It depends and also varies based on religion, since some religions see it as a grave sin.

Yes, I'm pretty sure Christian/Jew/Muslim parents more than likely abandon their children if they found out :frown:

It is sad, hopefully one day things will change :smile:

Thank you

Definitely
Is very sad that her reaction is often not the case for others. I hope if it is you that is contemplating coming out that it goes as well as it did for me :hugs:

Wouldn't make a difference. A) I can't talk about being straight and B) why would it matter?

Frankly as I struggle with infertility, I'm hardly going to be unhappy with the child I get.

Accept them and reassure them that it’s fine! I’d never want my children to feel like they couldn’t come out to me. Mainly because I don’t feel like I could come out to my own parents, and I don’t think I ever will lol.

I'm pansexual so I wouldn't give a damn. It would be hypocritical of me.

My family have supported me and I'd do the same for a child.

I simply said .. I love you ...always have, always will ...and gave my 16 yr old son a huge hug and kiss.
Love is totally unconditional ... I am an immensely proud parent x

Support them
Don't make them feel left out
even if u fell uncomfortable with it
but you know when your kid grows he will start to make a life for himself
probably live his own life away from home so u wont be affected but having a bond between him and you
is essential
