I am happy when my children are happy; it's no issue for me whether they are gay or straight. I love them the way they are. There is nothing wrong with being gay- I would be happy to accept and love their partners as well.

It wouldnt be an issue for me. I wouldnt even give it a second thought I dont think.

G'day Fake Snake, Thank you for your question. As long as he or she is happy, that would be the main thing. Regards

I dont know, i think i will be upset for a while, but then accept it, its his/her life in the end

That is a difficult question to answer. I have joked with my husband about our son being gay (not to him of course). We have many gay friends and joke that it would help our son loosen up a bit more and it would be a blast to have him and his partner over at Thanksgiving. That being said, I wonder how I would really feel if he came out of the closet to us. Homosexuals face such adversity and he already has so much in his ife. He is bipolar and ODD, and on the autism spectrum. I would be happy for him that he made a brave decision in coming out and my feelings for him/about him would never change. However, being happy about my child's sexual preference is not something that would really cross my mind, gay or straight. I would prefer that they stay home and just love their Mama. Then, when they become serial killers and wind up like Norm Bates, we can all support each other.

To be honest, I reckon I'd take a little time to get used to it. I'd not stop loving 'em though - and would be happy to see him/her happy and comfortable with themselves.

I would be just as happy if they were gay as I would if they were straight. The only thing that would make me unhappy is if I felt that my child was not comfortable with their own sexuality. For example, if they were gay, but pretended to be straight out of fear. I wouldn't judge or blame them, but it would upset me that my child had to go through that.

No. Why on earth would this make someone happy? Some might accept it, but it makes no sense that someone would be glad their child went against nature.

I wouldn't have a problem with it. I wouldn't care as long as whoever they choose to be with can make them happy.

I love my daughter more than anything. Her sexuality would not be an issue for me. I want her to be happy without harming herself or anyone else and I see no harm if she were gay.

Regardless of the decision your child makes on his or her sexual orientation, you should still treat them with respect, because even though you may or may not disagree with his or her opinion, you are still their parent, and they need as much love and support from you as they can get. Isolating them by treating them any differently probably won't solve the issue, and instead creates an awkward and potentially hostile situation.

I would like my daughter to have a heterosexual relationship but if it turned out that she's gay then I'd look to be happy in the relationship she's in. If she's gay then theirs the issue of children and I'd support her in what ever she decides.

no, not at all.

I may worry a little, but it would not affect the fact that I loved them dearly. Their happiness would be the important factor

I would still love them and I would eventually move on. That does not mean I would be happy with the fact that they are gay. But I could live with it.

I would be happy as long as my child was happy.

I wouldn't be happy necessarily because I have alot of friends who are gay and I feel sad for them because there are many people who are not very accepting because they are gay. As for myself, I would love my child no matter what their orientation, I would be happy because when it comes down to it all, I have a a child to love.

its ironic a question would show up like this, my mom just said to my brother last night if any of her kids were gay, shed have her foot up their ass, needless to say im bisexual, thats makes it all the more difficult to tell them

I will love my child, and always be happy with him for the rest of his life no matter what.

it would take some getting use to but I've always told my children I will love them no matter what way gay or straight because I love them for being who they are my children not because of who they like to have sex with. I've lived with gay cousins & family & friends all my life. Their sexuality does not make up their personality, I love them & won't judge them. Their happiness means more to me then others opinions.

I would not be happy with the fact that they were gay for religious reasons: Lev. 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them" 1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God." Rom. 1:26-28, "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper." While I would not be happy with the fact that they were gay, I would still love them unconditionally because they are my child.

No, I wouldn't be happy. To be happy about it seems to infer that I would prefer it. I would accept it, though.

I'd be happy as long as they are ghappy and comfortable with their sexuality

I wouldn't take exception because they were gay. I would be happy with my children regardless of their sexuality. Gay, Straight, Trans Gendered, I would love them the same. Who you sleep with doesn't dictate how much love you should get.

Why would it affect my feelings towards my child in any way?

My childs sexual orientation would have no effect on my love for him/her. I would just pray that they were happy and successful and in time found a partner with whom they could be happy spending their lives together

I disagree with homosexuality on the basis that it is entirely counterproductive. i see sex as a function for creating children and that takes two people of the oposite sex. for the record i believe in survival of the fittest. i believe in darwin and science. being gay to me is like trying to eat food with your ear. it might feel interesting and different but it doesnt get anything done. but then again if my child wanted to be an unproductive member of the species i'd say go for it but at least donate some sperm.

yes and no... I want her to be happy, not to concerned with teen pregnancy, if she does(irregardless of my hope's and prayers and advice) that is the bed she lays and i will help if i can. But when it is her sexuality i just really want her to love and be loved :)you know the happiness drill

If it was my only I probably would be heartbroken because im the only son who will carry the family name so if my son said he was I would be heartbroken at first. But as time goes on I wouldn't care nor disown anyone how can you disown your own child is beyond me? I mean some people would rather have their children murderers then gay which is Fing sick. Yeah I would be heartbroken then just move on life is too short to gripe about how your children live a lifestyle you aren't to favorable of besides who could he hurt?

That's fine and I would not lie about it like most parents of gay children do.

I'd be unhappy that I probably wouldn't be having any grandkids. Other than that, I would be totally accepting of them. There is nothing wrong with being gay.

Not that I'd have a problem with it, but I wouldn't say I'd be HAPPY... it isn't anything warranting a cause for celebration. In fact, they would be destined to have certain hardships (aka bigotry) against them.

My childs sexual orientation is the least of my worries and I Love him and be Proud and Happy that he is in my life ... By the way ; my son has told me that he is Bi-Sexual .. he came out to me when he was 16 years of age and he is now 23 .. +5

If my child is happy then I am blessed whether my child is straight or gay.

It would have no effect on how happy I was.
