A lot (if not most) parents are at least somewhat unsupportive, and while I understand that it takes time to adjust expectations, it's sad when relationships become strained due to a child coming out. Although some people may feel that sticking to their principles is more important, and if they love their child, maybe they feel that helping them leave the LGBT lifestyle is best.
What does everyone think here?
since i accept people for who they are, it wouldnt matter to me.
I wouldn't be a good parent, in my estimation, if I loved my children with conditions attached.
They'll love who they love and I'll accept them and their partners.
Ironically, only one person I know believes that homosexuality is a sin and is
disgusting. That person has a son who has come out. He was disowned for a time, but things seem to have changed for the better, in that regard.

Are you old enough to support yourself? If you are, then live your own life and hell with them. Don't waste your fricken life trying to be something that you are not. This happens on different scales, not just a gay person, it happens in regards to occupation, likes/dislikes, religion, thoughts/beliefs....
You will hate yourself later if you don't be true to yourself right now. You have one life. Live it as you are. If they can't accept it, that's their problem.
99% of people in this world need some kind of support group. All the other things you mentioned tend to be things where you may have friends or other relative other than your immediate family to fall back on. Sexuality doesnt always have the same fall back plan.
Regardless of age, being alone in the world is scary.
My child is my child, God blessed me with them, and he knew who they would be, God taught me He loves unconditionally. Why would I not ? Especially my own child? I think men or dads might have a harder time? Not sure
I don't know if I could be this good. But I believe you are correct. But I am a weak sinner so I cannot say how I would react.

Family doesn't have to be "blood". Many people in this world don't have blood family worth a damn....so they create a new "family". Yes, people need to belong...we are social creatures, why do you think the internet is full of people calling each other "fam" when they are a part of a little corner together?
The idea that you must stick with a sh**ty blood family is no longer set in stone. If your blood family is hateful, abusive, and there's no love there, you are not beholden to them.

6 pages in, Conservative and Liberals both having a discussion about sexuality and no one is calling anyone names or anything like that.
Lets just stop and think about that for a second..........
It's a Christma-hanu-kwanzika miracle!
