Do you want to know anything regarding your child engaging in heterosexual behavior?
If you're saying what I think you are, I personally want to know nothing about my hypothetical/future childrens' sex and private lives, as long as I know they're being responsible about it. I want to meet SOs when it gets serious enough but aside from that, not really my business what they're doing and with who.
If my child decides a homosexual lifestyle is what the child wants, I don’t want to know about it, I don’t want to meet anyone associated. Once the child steps into my house, that subject will not be visited. Period.
I realize there are many answers to my question, the most obvious probably being religious. This is so sad to me. I'm glad that funds have been raised for her. I couldn't have children, but I would have been proud to have a daughter like Emily. I wish her much happiness. I hope her parents come to their senses. I think of all the parents who have lost their kids in so many mass shootings in the past year who would give anything to have their child back, no matter what their sexual preference. What a stupid thing to disown your child over.
Well, it’s a stupid reason. How could a mother do that? On the other hand, I was kicked out of the house at 18 by my mother’s husband for a really stupid reason (taking some change out of the change tray and walking to the store). So people do some stupid stuff. But I wasn’t completely disowned. I still talked to my mom. But overall, it was a pretty big wake up call and made me more responsible.
I don't think my parents broke contact with him so much because he was gay, but more because he would never shut up about it. You literally couldn't talk to him without the conversation turning into something about his sexuality. It drove my parents nuts because they felt like it was just his way of being passive aggressive with them.
I never knew him that well until I was an adult. I hung out with him just a few times when I lived in Seattle. He was just too over the top for me. I'm not religious and could care less about what one does in the bedroom, but this guy is flaming on fire super gay to the point that I just can't be around him. He's embarrassing, and like a lot of gay men, he's super in your face with his sexuality to the point that I just don't care to be around him.

So if your child brought home a significant other, you wouldn't allow them to come to your house?
Either that girl is not the sharpest knife in the kitchen or else she outed herself to her parents to spite them. If the girl knew her parents were like that and she was still dependent on them - and I see no way that she could not know they were like that - then she should have kept her big mouth shut and not told them about herself until after she was fully responsible for herself and no longer dependent on them. I think there's more to this story than meets the eye and there's some ulterior motives going on that haven't been made public knowledge. In any event that whole family, including that girl, are a stupid bunch for behaving the way they did.
So if your child brought home a significant other, you wouldn't allow them to come to your house?
Seems that way, which sounds pretty close to disowning to me because what child is going to come home for the holidays or something when their SO isn't welcome and mom and dad want no involvement or even knowledge about their relationship?
I just don't see how the likely result of losing your relationship with your child is worth it. Just because they love someone of the same sex, it's such an arbitrary reason imo.
