In all seriousness, this is not an attempt at trolling.

I ask because some of my friends (white) have confessed that they could never bring someone black home to mom and dad, and one even said his father told him he'd rather have a gay son than have a son dating a black girl!

How do you honestly feel on the matter?

I would be 100% okay with my sons bringing home a black person and would be 100% okay if they came out as gay. I would be 100% okay with either of my sons coming home gay with a black boyfriend.

wonder if the black person reading this is thinking "would you rather your child bring home someone white or tell you they were gay? ....I can't say color is something that worries me. I'd be more concerned with morals and values if they were dating my kid.

As long as it's a loving healthy relationship, who cares?
BTW DS dates inter racially and DD is bi, so I've "been there".

I would never be bothered by the race of someone our child was dating and neither would DH! The gay issue for me would take some getting used to, but I would still love my child unconditionally.

I'd prefer both. If their partner were black and gay, I wouldn't have to worry about my grandchildren dealing with being bi-racial.

I'm fine with my kids doing what they want as long as they're smart enough not to make their children suffer for their decisions. I have a bi-racial young man in my class who, sarcastically, refers to himself as a halfbreed. It's sad to watch.
