Yes. Why not.
-
Of course, why wouldnt you be? its their choice and it doesnt change who they are.
-
I wouldn't have any problem with it, after all I want my family to be happy, and I imagine hiding your true sexuality would make you very unhappy.
-
Of course I would. I would try to make things as easy for him/her as I could..I'd ask what I could do to be helpful and he/she would always be welcome in my home. I'd also not care if he/she were vegan, a meat-eater, a heavy metal fan or anything else.
-
I would, but I think that I would also keep a little distance when sitting next to him or something. I wouldn't be fine with him if he would touch me or stare at me while I'm half-naked...
-
Yes.
-
Here goes another point spiral... To answer your question honestly, yes it would. My siblings and I are Christians and it is seen as a sin. Having said that, I believe that everyone is a sinner and all are saved through their acceptance of Christ (including gays). The fact that my sibling sinned isn't what would bother me, but if s/he told me that they would flaunt their homosexuality and say that it was ok. That is the same as me saying that theft, adultery or murder is ok and that I would keep on doing it instead of recognizing it as wrong and trying to change my behaviour. We all struggle with our sins, but the first step towards freedom is acknowledging the behavious as wrong. Anyway, you asked....
-
My sister is a widow and when I spoke to her on the phone last week she told me she was going out with someone. I thought she said, "her" and my immediate reaction was to say that the only thing that matters is that she's happy. So my answer is yes, I would be fine.
-
They are who they are..they are my family and nothing will change that. They have the right to their own happiness, and if that is where it lies, why wouldn't I be okay with it?
-
I would have no problems with it one little bit,as long as they were happy.
-
I'd be perfectly fine with it! On the other hand, my sister denies mine, LOL.
-
yes my sister is years older than me and i nvr see her anyway lol
-
I've suspected it for years now so if he came out i would be relieved to know..... the guy has to go out with SOMEBODY.
-
Bro/sis being "gay" is no reason for me not to be "happy".
-
Why not? It's not like they were telling me they were bigoted, racist, KKK members.
-
It would come as a shock to me because my sister has dated 5 guys within a years time (Doesn't sound like a lot? She's 14.) Just because her sole reason to do something at her age is to see if a hot guy is there, it would be surprised if all of a sudden it was if a hot girl was there. HWOEVER, if she did, I would still love her and support her. Nothing would change only her sexual preference.
-
Why wouldn't I be? I have no problem whatsoever with homosexuality, bisexuality, etc. I'd find it hard to deal with if they confessed to being a bigoted homophobe, though.
-
I know that this can be a particularly difficult thing for homosexuals to face. I am a lesbian who is out to many different people, but I'm terrified to talk about it with my brother. He's still fairly young (just starting high school). We are both very close, but I'm still afraid that he won't accept me for who I am.
-
Absolutely! Even though my siblings and I don't talk much, I would support them no matter what they wanted to do.
-
of course I would, sibling love has nothing to do with sexuality.
-
Of course, it doesn't change who they are.
-
Yes.
-
Yes but I would really wonder. It would be such a shock. Neither of them have ever even remotely appeared gay
-
i would be totally fine with it .It would also explain why my brother seems to date "manly" women lol
-
i would be fine with it.
-
To be honest..I'm going through that with my sister right now...And I can't help but be 5050 on this. I will always love my sister but she is dating a girl and she says its a phase...but I have some unsettle feelings about it. I mean I want nieces and nephew and she's the only one that can provide that...but that just be selfish of me....I'm guess its ok if it makes her happy but I honestly don't like that she is dating a girl...I don't know but its feelings deep down in me...I never share it with her because were best friends and I think it would be bad if i told her how I feel. So now I just let the fact that she is happy takeover!
-
Of course I would. I don't define my love for people by who they are sexually attracted to.
-
most definitely matter of facts it is my hope my sister turns lesbian maybe she might pick better female partners than male ones. She seems to find all the losers
-
If you ever met the creep my little (step)sister married, I'd be relieved if she became a lesbian.
-
Hi, i would, they were all great with me when i told them i was
-
Yeah I'd judt tell them that I don't want to see it or hear about it though! They have the right to be gay and I have the right to not hear about it or see it! It wouldn't change how I felt about them though
-
My brother John came out and I was fine with it. Not like he is being gay with me.
-
Why wouldn't I be?
-
Of course it would, I'd have another sister (in law)
-
Without a doubt..i dont find being gay weird at all.
-
I think i would dis own them.I only have 3 brothers now and i dont see any signs of them gay cause they get hot girls like i used to get back when i was 21-25
-
Absolutely positively without any reasonable doubt I would be 200% fine with it.
-
Of course... Why not?
-
Yeah why wouldn't I be?
-
Yes of course as long as they were happy. I have cousins that are gay it has never been any problem in my family.
-
sure
-
Yes I would. Family is family.
-
Why not? I'm not having sex with them.
-
yes, they're still my sister/brother why would it matter?
-
My sister told me she was gay (I was the first person she told, other than her partner). My response was " I don't want to know what you do in the bedroom and out of respect please don't ask me what I don in mine". We were both ok with that compromise!
-
yes,no matter what,blood is blood.Just love them the same. i would
-
I would love them the same way...after all, it truly doesn't affect me....
-
She did when we were teenagers. We remained best buddies. Then she decided she had been going through a "curious" phase and came out to me again, this time as straight. once again, nothing changed. I don't really care if her partner's a guy or a girl, just as long as their a good enough person to be worthy of my sis. :)
-
well, I'm the one who is lesbian and came out to my straight brother who was totally cool with it.
-
Absolutely, unconditionally.
-
I would love him unconditionally - it wouldn't affect me in any way. Why does one's personal choices matter?
-
Yep I would be totally fine with it.
-
My siblings are absolutely fine with my sexuality. It's more important to them that I meet someone who makes me happy, and that I can be true to myself and feel comfortable around people who I can be honest with.
-
Yes! Sexuality does not define a person
-
I would not hate him more either way. We don't get along to begin with but I wouldn't start treating him worse because of that.
-
Yes, I would be happier, maybe my brother would be nicer to me. I always wanted a sister.
-
yea...same way my brothers are fine with me cause im straight. theyre still my brothers no matter what
-
It wouldn't bother me at all.
-
I would be shocked because I had no clue but would support them nonetheless.
-
Of course it would be. I can't fathom anyone not being ok with it. Now here comes the DR's but I'm still right, lol
-
Yeah to be honest i really wouldn't have a problem with it. It's their choice and i don't see anything wrong with it.
-
Yes I would. I have a gay sister whom I love very much. I learned from her that being gay isn't easy.
-
Of course, I would, if being a gay can change this fact he- she is my brother- sister
-
My sister is gay, so yes :) My uncle had a sex change and is now a woman. Regardless of what siblings and family do, there's still that undeniable connection and most of the time you love them no matter what.
-
I wouldnt care at all, because you are who you are.. Now my parents would probably disagree, but i would try to be very supportive to my brother/sister.
-
Yeah.. I would be supportive. Especially because I know that my parents wouldn't be too happy about it.
-
I would be freaked out. I don't have a brother or sister so it would just be a strange occurrence.
-
OMG I'd be soooo relieved. I'd help her get a divorce lawyer so that she could legally divorce her husband. I could also hook her up with a ton of really nice gf's of mine, and we could go to Home Depot together...
-
absolutly :)
-
Sure would!
-
yup. my lil bro is gay. he told me out of the family i'm the only one he felt he could talk to after he came out.... so i guess i'm doing something right :-)
-
I have a cousin who told me they were gay. I don't have a problem with that. I don't have any brothers or sisters so I don't know how I would feel. If one of my step siblings told me that...I guess I would feel a little disoriented, but thats all.
-
Definitely... I am sick of people being so intolerant
-
yes sir!!!
-
well if it was my brother Tony then i'd be mad because he's married with two kids....lol If it were Ian I'd say, "No wonder you are 34 and can't commit to a woman" regardless, i dont care who the hell is gay. Being on here i've gotten to talk with gay and lesbian folk and it got me realizing that I dont have any gay friends...AND I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA! Hum, kinda weird, I must not get out much
-
Hell yeah I would. I'd be happy if I had a brother or sister for that matter. lol. But yeah, I have some really close friends who's bodies are out of the closet but they still have that one right foot in. I'm just waiting for them to admit it. Besides, once they do, I can have someone I can really talk to, ya know. My cousin is straight but I came out to her and she loves me even more for it. Dunno how that really worked but hey, I'm not complaining.
-
Of course. I would not care one bit if my sister came out, as long as she is being true to herself.
-
I would be fine with it the same way I am with my gay friends. However since my brother or sister would have the same education as me I would ask them to leave the church, simply because my brother and my sister both know the bible very well, they know the church well and they know you cannot live in unrepentant sin and making that decision is the same as making the decision to leave the church. I would still love and respect my siblings regardless.
-
Of course. I love my sissy.
-
Of course! i don't see how who they were attracted to would have anything to do with me.
-
hahaha, that would be a hoot!!! I don't actually get on too well with my sister in law, so if my brother came and told me that, that means the bitch is gone! haha!
-
lol i think it would be funny, am gay and if my sister was i think it was okay, the way I feel is their life and long as they are happy. just wish they wuld show that feeling for me.
-
I have step siblings and yeah it would be ok.
-
Of course! However, she's only 11, so I'd also tell her not to rush to any conclusions.
-
No problem, as long as my "sister-in-law" likes to drink beer and watch football on Sundays.
-
It's their lives, they can live it however they want.
-
Sure I would. It would have made my younger days a whole lot easier.
-
I'm not really involved in my brother's sex life so it doesn't really effect me either way.
-
I don't know that I would be happy about it but I would deal with it because hes my brother and hes also my best friend....
-
Yes. My nephew is gay and so are 3 of my friends.
-
I have plenty of other reason I'm not fine with my sister.
-
It wouldn't bother me at all.
-
sure, why not. my wife said she was gay. i was happy with that. she wanted me to sleep with her girl friend. who had already slept with a hundred guys. maybe a thousand guys. i declined.
-
of course I would
-
No. I would check them into a psychiatric ward for therapy immediately
-
Sure, I don't see why I would not be, they are still my family, I would still be fine with my friend if she told me she was gay. my feelings for them would still rremain the same. Leave all judgement to GOD.
-
Of course!
-
Absolutely. It changes nothing.
-
Yes of course. I believe we knew before she did. Especially when she gathered us all together to tell us she has something to tell us. That she was gay. We told her we already know. What's new.
-
absolutely
