I wouldn't mind, but I am sexist - I'd prefer to have a gay son rather than a gay daughter, simply because I reckon the former gets less stick.

...would you be disappointed? I've had a chat with several people about this and nearly every single one said yes they would. So out of curiousity how do you think you would react?


I have to say that I would be disapointed, more so because it would make life that bit more difficult for them, and no grandkids,

but saying that I would be supportive if it happened
I would want my children to be happy.

I'm not sure what to vote in the poll... but I'd probably be upset and confused at first and all that, but I'd get over it, I'd still love my child. I don't want to vote disappointed though... it would just be a shock probably, they wouldn't have disappointed me in having done anything wrong.
Just....wouldnt be a problem
If their partner was mean to them I'd still feel protective, if they fell in love with someone wonderful I'd still feel just as pleased :smile:
Love is good as long as it isnt hurtful. Who cares about gender when there is so much other bad-relationshippy-things out there - people getting beaten by their partners, or raped, or abused, or tormented, or even just living together when you dont love each other anymore. A healthy successful relationship is a healthy successful relationship, regardless of the genders of those involved. I hope most people would feel the same.
I would be sooooooooo happy she would most likely be amazing at lacrosse. Excellent.

I don't think it'd bother me much, I'd love them just the same and want them to be happy.

The only thing is - I wonder how I'd react if more than one of my children turned out to be gay? Or all of them? For some reason I think I'd find that much, much harder to deal with. Maybe it's the grandchildren thing.

:rolleyes: i would be shocked at first but they would be my children and no matter what that never changes.. its stupid people saying they'll never be able to treat them the same, look at them the same ect, your childern are still your children. as a parent i will be there to support my children in their choises, if need be, sexuality being one. :biggrin:
mychildren will not be gay. nobody is gay. gayness does not exist. everyone is straight, gays just havent met the right partner.

im not a homophobe, i just really hat it if MY children are gay. it would be a great insult and shame on my family.

so i will bring my children up well so they will not turn out gay and wrong

You really are wanting those neg reps aren't you?
I reckon you are a homophobe if you see homosexuality as 'wrong', you're clearly negative enough towards it.
Just ignore her, she clearly just wants attention with a ridiculous post like that. :rolleyes:

thats a point how do you neg rep? you dont have to be a subscriber do you :confused:

and magiccarpet..... when you do say comments like that, and say you are not homophobic, its a crap lie because now we can all see you are one. :rolleyes:

i truly believe everyone is straight. put a gay woman/man in bed with a proper patrner of the oppostie sex, and wahey they have sex, they are ungay! then if those two people got married, they are straght forever. all parents should make sure this is what happens. i have gay frinds but i think they are just a phase and will be normal and get married in the future.

*pisses on* Don't be so short sighted.

I'm bisexual. Am i a shame on my family?

You can have negative rep for that. :mad:
I don't believe that people seriously think they'd be fine and dandy with it. I don't think i would be....i'd be very shocked and upset...people in the poll so far have given the politically correct answer...but i find it hard to believe that that would be their reaction. Reality, im sure, is a different ball game...as im sure some resident gay/lesbian members on this forum would agree with. There is alot to it im sure - you have the stigma always following you....family and friends...friends of family and friends....there's inevitably going to be some sticky patches...some smirks behind the back.

If im being honest...i think i would feel very shocked and taken aback..unless me and my partner had suspected his/her homosexality for a while...but the coming out would surely shock me as a parent. When the boy/girl has a relationship...then again this will attract possible conflicts and possible bullying..i would definitely support the child i think...but i would not lie and say "everythings ok". The child could be bullied throughout schooling and real life work as a result of his/her sexual preference/s. Bullying of any type is not nice...but perhaps it doesn't get so bad as homophobic bullying. What about friendship groups? Will he/she be deserted, have no friends, get lonely and depressed, mental problems linger on....

Theres all that to think about

Exactly. If my kids were happy, I'd be happy. :smile:

seriously im not a homophobe cos i dont believe it exists. parents should make their kids get married properly to a person of the opposite sex. even the queen didnt believe female homos existed when signing the laws.

i will make my children have the correct arranged marriage and if they want gay thoughts thats ok, just as long as they dont do anything about them
