You do realize the bible states its opinion on homosexuality QUITE clearly right? So no my non belief in god is not the problem,I don't have a problem. I have an opinion that is set in stone and has been since I was a teenager.

I have only one child, and she will never have children, but not because she's bi, but because she should not for medical reasons and she is not sure she would want to raise a child anyway. That last part could change someday, and she might adopt, but my life isn't ruined because I won't be a grandmother, for Pete's sake.

And of course, unless you live some sort of isolated life in a remote area, you know gay people with children.

I would not accept his homosexuality but I would accept him or her. Just as a person would not accept them taking drugs but still love them regardless . One can still respect and love them if they fall into any situation one does not approve of. I would not reject the person, I would object to the behavior.

While we still have a ways to go, I am encouraged that the great majority of respondees would either accept or try to accept their LGBT child.

Silly question for me to consider since I don't understand the fascination that most have with homosexuality. I would not care. I've already told my oldest that I don't give a crap what sort of "sexual" he is and to just not be a pedo or a rapist. I only have problems with those types of people.
