I love you..don't know why you were dr'd but here ya go +5

"Thank you for sharing this with me." So many family problems are caused by the stress of such news. It's best to be as open and non-judgemental as possible, no matter what you may be feeling inside. Also, this recognizes that telling such news is VERY difficult, and appreciates the honesty.
-
"I'm glad you know who you are and are proud enough and loved and trusted me enough to tell me, I love you."
-
Cool, now go clean your room. -
I would ask him if he sure,, and not worry what other people think or say,, he will always be my baby nomatter what... to count on me,,, as a friend... and not worry he be 3 gae in the family..
-
I would say I love you and give him/her a big hug! Then I would tell him/her to tell their other mom! When I came out to my Dad I thought he was going to cuss me out and never talk to me again because he really doesn't like gay people for some reason. He took it really well. He asked me "Am I supposed to love me less because God made you this way?" He told me I am still his little girl and that he will always love me and support me as long as I am sure I am happy. It takes SOOO much guts to tell your parents you are gay and I was so glad I told my dad and didn't keep it a secret anymore. My mother found out through someone else because we don't have a relationship and she had the BIGGEST fit and started calling everyone in the family that she had contact with and told everyone what a horrible thing I have done and how could I do this to my family and that I was a disgrace! I found it VERY amusing considering that she is the drug addict/ alcoholic in the family that lost all her kids to child services and everyine tries their hardest to avoid her phone calls and doesn't beleive anything she says...

I'll always love you. Stay strong, and don't be afraid to find someone that you truly love
-
"my dear imagine if I were a gay you never be here"
-
I wonder what's for dinner.
-
"Really? I wonder how long the wife has know about this - typical - no one tells me anything".
-
Love cannot be controlled, Embrace yourself, I love you.
-
And...? There is nothing to say. What do parents say when their kids are straight? Nothing - its accepted as is, no questions comments replies or complaints. Yeah sure I would want to pick their partner in life - but that is what parent's do. Of course being armed with the knowledge if I pick a girl or a boy for them is helpful, its nothing really to talk about. It just is.
-
I love you, I'm so happy you trusted me enough to tell me this and remember - I'll always love you, no matter what you are.
-
Its natural! No need to panic!
-
"So when are you going to get married and adopt me a grandchild?"
-
I love you and will support you...thats what i said to my gay son when he told me,then i hugged him:)
-
Sweet! I don't have to worry about you becoming a teen parent. Seriously, I don't care what my children's sexual orientation is. I only care about helping them become happy, healthy, caring adults. Recently, my son told me that being "gay" was wrong (after a little fishing, I found out a classmate had told him this). This was in response to his brother calling him "gay" as a joke. I told him I'd really prefer him being gay over him being a bigot. We then had a long conversation (lecture)on how being gay is not "wrong" anymore than being black or white is "wrong", but judging people for how they are born is very, very wrong. It is my hope that if one of my children were gay, they would have no problem telling me. We're pretty open about such things and they are well aware that I don't think less of a person because they are gay. (Just for clarification: I probably would actually say that first part up there. We're fun that way.)
-
Why do you feel that way? Explain to me what it is exactly... that you feel makes you think that you are gay.
-
I'd laugh. (my boyfriend is bi, but doesn't want to ever tell his children)
-
Id say.. ok aslong as your happy Im happy
-
Okay. Hey, do we need paper towels? Should I pick some up with groceries?
-
i would say that i still love them even though their gay and that i care for them :] and thanks for telling me and trusting in me!
-
id stand still, take it easy and say, ''okay, if it makes you happy, it makes me happier''
-
I would let my child know that i still love him ... and that I will be here for him anytime he needs or wants to talk about anything ... Now; let's go to Olive garden and have dinner ...
-
I would reassure him that my love for him was unconditional. Following that I would hope that he would follow the principles of not sleeping around or having one night stands as I would expect if he was seeing girls.
-
I love you, let's get some lunch.
-
I'd say: Ma! Where's that darn tarn shot gun?
-
I am sorry you are going to have problems in your life. What can I do to help?
-
Did you finish your homework?
-
Wanna go get our hair did and look at the boy toy's at the mall.
-
Tell him to where a condom or tell her to make sure her toys are clean.
-
I see you take after your father :)
-
I hope you pick a partner who's the same size as you, that way you only need one wardrobe
-
I love you.
-
Son, I'm a little disappoined, but here's a box of condoms.
-
I wouldn't mind. I'd say, "I love you, but be aware that other people aren't very tolerant and they could bully you." I'd also warn them that they still need to use condoms and protect themselves against STD's. I might refer them to a gay friend or acquaintance because I don't know much about the gay experience and may unintentionally fail to mention important tips. But overall I'd be pleased. After all, at least my child wouldn't be bringing home a baby any time soon!
-
Don't know but there was a boy in my class that hanged around with girls a lot and I thought he was a lucky bastard but it turned out he was gay.
-
Cool, let's go shopping.
-
That's nice honey, what else is new?
-
Have safe sex and date someone rich :)
-
oh.....HONEY! *as in calling for my husband...so we could all sit and talk about it but i wouldn't have a problem wih it*
-
love them, as always
-
That I love her no matter what. That sexual orientation does not define a person's value or character. That she is beautiful, inside and out, and any lady would be lucky to have her. That she (and her partners) are welcome in my home no matter what, and that I and her father will always provide a safe place for her. Oh, and probably something along the lines of "welcome to the club". :) I cannot understand a parent or friend who turns their back on a loved one for being gay. I admit to extraordinary bias in this area, but it hurts my heart to think of all the gay people whose families treated them badly (or turned away from them) after coming out. When we come out is really when we need our families the most.
-
i would say to him/her that i respect his/her choices no matter what. I will love my child no less
-
I totally respect and accept my child's preference. I'd still love him/her no matter what because that's what unconditional love is. There's nothing wrong with being gay and besides, that means I won't have to worry about my kid becoming a teenage parent. :D
-
Your friends aren't staying the night anymore. Unless they're girls of course.
-
I love you and it's OK.
-
I love you just the way you are.
-
Awesome (insert hug). I knew you were hiding something, but i was worried it was drugs. Thank God, I've no need to worry now.
-
I am here for you whenever you need me. Love Mom
