I would accept my child for him/her no matter what their sexuality would be.

I would never be happy that a child of mine was going to have to face a life of judgment and all of the difficulties that would come with being different than the masses, and sinful to the major organized religions. If my child was gay, I'd go through an adjustment period because I'd be 'losing' the perception of that child that I had always carried, but I would not feel anything at all less for that child...and we'd be just fine. It would be odd the first time they showed a display of affection towards a beau...but I would adapt. I would prefer, for themselves in today's society, that they were not gay. Living the traditional life of male/female/offspring is much simpler.

Absolutely not! Being gay has caused so much turmoil in life. People just don't accept that way of life. It would take counselling and adjustment for my child to completely understand what she'd be up against. Not an easy road; as well as not having her own child as she was conceived --- of course if she were the more feminine one she could have artificial insemination. Anyway --- I'm not for it but would definitely adjust and help in any way possible because she is my daughter and I love her no matter what she chooses as a lifestyle.

Well..I personally would not have an issue with it because I would love my child no matter what. However, if I were to choose I would choose hetero for the simple fact that the rest of the world would not be accepting as me and I would not want my child to be the target of hatred.

Honestly I have thought about this, I have 2 kids, very small kids. I figure whatever they are, thats up to them. I cant judge them for who they are or what they want to be. I want to be a supportive mom and guide them in their lives as best as I can. If they are gay, then they are gay. I love my kids unconditionally. I can't say that I wouldn't like them to be Hetero, but if they are gay, well then I'll accept it. Im their mother, I'd love them anyway.

Of course you would be happier if they were hetero. You want your child to have all of the advantages of life not disadvantages, or to be an outcast. Im not knocking gays, but it is still not 100% acceptable in society today or there wouldnt be so much debate.

happy or sad doesn't matter, it wont change anything. I suppose we all naturally want to have grand children, so in that way it's hard for some parents not to be a little disappointed, and in some cases it will mean the loss of the family name. Personally I wouldn't care, other qualities are more important like intelligence, integrity, hum our, sauces, stability, security and confidence. You can be proud of your child irrespective of their sexual preferences.

Well happy no because I would like grandkids, but then again he could adopt and I would be okay with that to.
I am going to love my child no matter what he is or does. Yes I would like both of my boys to marry beautiful women (my chance for a daughter in law) but I will accept them however.
I am christian and to say no I wouldn't love my child seems like a bigger sin...we each have our own sins to carry before God.

I prefer they were happy. If they are gay, so be it. Honestly, I'd prefer them to be hetro, just because gay people go though so much trouble and I think life is easier for hetro people. But if they're gay, they're gay. Nothing I can do about it, and I would not love them any less for it.

I'd be happy if they were happy. When you become a parent you have to be ready to love and accept your child inspite of not because of ..... I would be a sad at the thought of how much more difficult their lives might be due to society but it would in no way affect how I felt about them or treated them.

I would prefer hetero (where am I gonna get grandkids?), but I would have him go to a psychiatrist to help him cope with people's negative reactions to him when they discover that he is gay.
Oh, and no sex at the dinner table, OK?
