What if your son/daughter told you that....they are gay/lesbian?

What would you do?

What would you say?

Would you accept him/her as they are?

Would you love him/her unconditionally?

Would you try to convert him/her to a heterosexual?

I love my daughter, this won't change no matter how she lives her life. If she is self aware enough to know she is lesbian, then I would be glad of it. She would have my entire support.

I don't believe you can convert someone from who they are, I don't believe you should even try.

If your love for your child is conditional on them living their life the way YOU want them to, then you shouldn't have children to begin with.

Tell them to pick one, gay or lesbian.

Tell them to take the blame if mommy finds my “girls gone wild” videos.

Hard enough to get them to like my music, so no, I wouldn’t try.

Same thing I told my good friend as he told me over dinner... "Oh yeah? Can you pass the salt please?"

What would you do if your child told you they wanted to be a vegetarian? Or that they liked comedy movies better than action movies?

I would be completely supportive. And I wouldn't try to talk him or her out of anything. He (or she) would know better who he is than anyone else.

I'm not going to lie, I'd flip out. But then I know they wouldn't change and I'd accept it... sooner or later. Guidelines would have to be outlined though. I wouldn't want to see any action going on in my house.

That is what my aunt said. Then her next sentence was can we meet him?

It also depends on culture.. I'm of Mexican decent and in Mexican culture, Gays are looked wayyy down upon. Mexican culture is very Macho.

But you'd want to see your son or daughter having sex if they were straight? I'm puzzled.
