I'd be overjoyed. It's hard for someone to tell their parents that they're gay. I have friends that have been hiding it for years cause they're scared of what their parents will think. It would take a great deal of courage to do it and I'd be nothing but supportive. The most important think to a parent should be their childs happiness.

First I would say did you find any baseball gloves in there and they would probably look at me like huh and i'd say when you were in the closet did you find any baseball gloves you know dad only has one. Then I'd say in all seriousness you know how I feel becasue I have told you before where I stand on this issue. I love you very much however since you know where i stand you have to make a choice now on what you will do and accept the consequences of your decision are you ready to do this? If they said yes... I'd say ok here are my rules. You are not to pratice homosexual behaviour in my house because God says in Leviticus and Romans it's a sin. My house serves the lord however, If you wish to move out you will be in your own household under you own rule and you may make the rules however, you pay the bills too. This is my Untimatum to you. You must decide.

When you are a parent, you love unconditionally with all your heart. A child's pain and conflict only makes your love that much stronger! I would be heartsick for the fact that they will face bigotry, hatred, and ignorance by the rest of the world, but I would let them know that they have a safe haven in my heart and in my arms whenever they needed!

i think initially i would be heartbroken and maybe even disappointed b/c since they were born i already imagined a "traditional" future for them in the sense that they'd possibly marry someone of the opposite sex, have kids, have a good job etc... things i think every parent dreams and thinks of. but then after the inital shock and maybe a couple weeks to really let it sink in i think i will realize that my child's sexuality is his/hers and that it's not that big of a deal. i believe i will realize that i want to be a part of my child's life no matter what and i will be proud that i raised them to feel safe enough to tell me anything and everything. i think that i will look beyond it and my preconceived dreams remember that i love my child unconditionally.

You have to love them as uncondtionally as possible. And, you have to have a battle plan on what your feelings are, and why you have them. And, any point that you want to share with them has to have real credibilty; Which means, you have to have something to support your veiwpoint other than your own bias. Once you have figured a true plan of action, you need to stick to it; no matter what. What is your goal for them?

Well hopefully, I'd have raised my child to know that he or she could tell me anything. And considering that some of my best friends are gay it would not be a big deal. I plan on raising any children that I have in a loving tolerant household.

I would be happy, because the closet is a dark scarey place for them to hide. And I might not be able to find them.

Good one. Honestly I have the same philosphy as my parents. What they choose in their life is them. I love them regardless. So what if they are gay... that is them. I would be happy that they let me know and estatic if I was the 1st or 1 of the 1st to know... I would want that trust and respect from them

I might be shocked. I would most likely be worried because life is so hard for homosexuals today, But I would let them know I loved them, no matter what.

Knowing my son and his sense of humor, he would jump out of the closet screaming Boo and scare me to death.
If he told me he was gay, I would be very concerned and worried.
My love would not change but my concerns would.
