If you had a gay child, would you attend their wedding, or would you scorn them and leave them without love (seeing as how you don't think they can receive love from their partner)?

If my son/daughter were thinking on getting married into a gay marriage I would do all I can to discourage it and would not attend the wedding.
But, I would love him and treat him just as if he were not gay. However, I would treat it for what it is... sin. I would do all I can to teach him and encourage him to leave the lifestyle. Like all other sin, God hates homosexuality. Contrary to popular belief, homosexuality can be overcome with a relationship with Christ involving a sincere repentance towards God.

Well, i don't have children. However if I did and they were gay, I would still love them even though I don't agree witth the choice they made. Hate and rejection isn't going to bring about any good. I would just pray and hope that things will all work out in the end. The Bible says not to hate, just have faith in God and know that everything is part of his plan.

You people are completely insane!!!! I truly hope that none of you are saying these things and putting God on your label. Even as a Christian, i am completely embarrassed by all of you saying that you would disown your children and not talk to them.
What has God did for you? Did He leave you out in the cold to freeze, or did he stand by you and wait for you to make your decision to follow Him.
God help all you idiots on here that say they would disown their kids for being gay. Yes, it is wrong, but so isn't turning your back on them.
You all need to check yourselves and either accept Christ for all that He is and has done for you, or put Him up and leave Him be. Christ showed us how to love and serve. It doesn't mean yo have to go to the wedding, but you need not disown your child. Love the child just as you always did, even before he/she was "gay".

Illogical...assigning hatred to the non-suport of a life choice. If my child becomes gay then I will support him/her with the love I've always shown them but..that does not mean that I will bend my own choices to compensate for theirs. So no..I would not attend a "wedding" (the ceremony is a ritual in futility because people of the same sex cannot marry each other) but I would still love my child. If the truth they believe in is not my truth..isn't it hatred to force me to accept it or shun me because I don't? Why is one acceptable and not another? Love in Christ, ~J~ <><

All the time! So long as my (future) child loves his/her partner, and that said partner loves him/her in return, and that I know they will make each other happy.
Isn't it sad that all the people who talked about disowning their children used their religion as an excuse? I'm an atheist and a Satanist, and all I will want for my children is their happiness.
Also, I am pro-gay marriage.

I am anti-marriage in general. What we need are "Family Licenses" so that any two people can join to care for a third or more. In other words, to raise children, care for invalid or elderly, etc. Two people who join together for personal benefits provide no quid-pro-quo to society, but a family builds a community and reduces government social costs. Doesn't matter what the genders of the people/parents are.

i personally dont care about my child's sexual preference as long as they are responsible about it. I cant turn my back on my child, regardless of their preference. No i dont agree with it, but if that is what makes them happy, they better be sure about it. I will always love them regardless. Yes i would attend their wedding, i would also support them as far as i could, but NEVER scorn my child for their decision.

*to all those people to said that you would disown your children for being gay*
you people are are main cause of why closeted gay teens like me are afraid to come out. do you really think that we choose to be like this? why would we choose to live our lives as an outcast? all your hypocrisy will never help heal your relationship as a parent and child and so called knowlege of the scriptures does not hold water ! maybe you should ask yourselves why your children became like this, cause even if you fevently deny it, you also had your share of things on why your child became gay in the first place

Hello lasermouse9.. :)
Being gay is no different than anyone else who is living in sin..I was a druggie etc..I was sinning..my sister who used to be gay would no longer hang around me (after she accepted Christ into her heart) I was angry..but when I asked Christ into my heart, I could see and understand why she did what she did..she no longer wanted to be around the temptation of drugs and her old lifestyle..it was not meant to hurt me personally..
I had to evict my son and my daughter from an apartment complex I was managing, because they were using drugs..I still loved them, I did not like the sin that was taking a very bad toll on their young lives..But because of the Love I showed them in not agreeing to their lifestyle, they both now serve the Lord with all of their hearts and they both are free from drugs..Glory, Alleluia
In Jesus Most Precious Name..
With Love..In Christ..

I would diswon my child if I found out he/she were gay, let alone if he/she were going to get "married" (although many states don't even recognize a gay marriage as legal in the first place).
