Homosexuals.... how do your?

Question

parents feel about your lifestyle?

Answer 1

My parents have always known I have some same sex attraction and are OK with it as long as I am not out of the closet. It is one of those unspoken things that everyone in the family knows but no one acknowledges. Like an elephant in the living room with a table cloth across its back. As long as we pretend it is a coffee table then it is a coffee table.

Answer 2

Parents:
They think its not Christ like. When made man. He made Adam and Eve. Not Adam and Tom, or not Eve and Ashley!!!

And why must they accuse the situations as to where they were touched in a certain way that it determains their sexuality? Because it doesn't. It is a choice they made. As a child, that's what they they felt like they had to do or become, but as they get older, they understand that they don't have to be that way. The just choice to continue being that away. Other's in the world today, become cuirous. (Curiousity killed the cat). And when they start wondering what its like then they make their decisions. I do not believe it when a homosexual person says that they can't help the way they are, because everyone have their own actions that they can control. No one can make you do anything you don't want to do. You are your own person. That's what makes you you. I know for sure that there is only one God and One God only. And that my friends is Jesus Christ. It's understandable that ppl make mistakes, but it's up to us whether or not we want to change. You can be 45 years old, and not be grown. Your age doesn't determine if you're a grown up or not. It's more to it and then some. To me personally, it's just a phase that the young generation's going through these days.

Yeah. A phase. Take action. Take control of your lives. Do what's right. Life is hard, but you have to grow and learn from your mistakes.

God Bless!

Answer 3

When I told my mother she lives 1500 miles from me (father has passed on). A few days later I recieved an 8 page letter quoting scripture and thought "when did she find religion"? Well, over the next year both her and I struggled over my acceptance.
I had found a guy that I liked, moved into a home with him and life was good until the holiday season came around. I took Dustin down with me to thanksgiving. Well my mom was polite but the day was stressful. Dustin was "my friend" and she did not really speak to him nor did anyone else but my lil sister (she was a closeted lesbian and watching closely). Well about a week later I sat down and wrote my mom a very long letter. It was a tough love letter and very hard for me to do.
In it I told here she had to accept me, and any one else I was with. If she could not figure out a way to do this, then I just would not be around much. Because I wasn't hiding who I was nor would I bring myself or anyone else into a hostile enviroment. It was hard to send the letter, but I knew I had to be loved for who I was. I also knew I could lose her love. I had to take a chance.
Well it worked out. She started to accept me and the people I have been with. Heck she has bought them christmas gift and birthday gift. She has almost become a modal PFLAG mom..lol.
Now she wants to know about my life, read my blog and even talk to my friends. If she ever asks or shows up at one of the bars I'm afraid she has crossed a line. A guy needs some privacy from mom.

Answer 4

It was very rough when my parents first found out. This was back in the late 1960s, so times were definitely different then. If you saw Brokeback Mountain, which was a movie about two gays in the 60s, then you can relate to the views then that most of the world had about gay people.

However, time passes, and things change, and people will eventually realize that things are as they are. This is no different from being tall, or having blue eyes. It is part of you and who you are, so don't knock yourself out trying to change yourself for anybody. If your family and friends really love you, they will have to accept you.

Good luck.

Answer 5

Well I don't have a lifestyle, so the question is moot.

I do however have a life, and my parents are happy to see me happy in that life. My Dad supports me 100% and has never ever said a single thing to imply that he has any problem with me being bi.

My mom is happy when I'm happy, but I think that she is still thinking that this is a college phase that I'll grow out of. But she is perfectly polite and kind to me and my partner, and mostly keeps that thought to herself. It doesn't really bother me that she thinks it is a phase, since I know it is not. If that is what she needs to think to feel better, that is fine. She's doesn't let it impact her behavior so I don't care.

Both of them welcome me and my girlfriend in their homes, include her in activities, and personally like her very much.

Answer 6

Well after coming out to my mother (My father is dead), she informed me that it was the worst thing that she had to deal with in her life. I quickly reminded her of the many bad things way more serious than me being gay that she has had to deal with in her life, and I left. She didn't really talk to me for over a week, but it has been a couple of years now, and she has come around completely, I think based upon the fact that she really can't change anything and that it really isn't the worst thing she has to deal with. BTW, Gay guys, however derogatory it sounds, is still way better than being categorized as "Homosexuals" (ie: your question).

Answer 7

It's not a lifestyle. It's part of who you are. I'm not dating anyone at the moment, but I'm still gay. It took my parents a little while to get used to it, but now they are fine with it. As long as I am happy, they are happy for me.

Answer 8

My parents are both deceased now. But they were proud of my education, my job, my responsible positions in my church, my community and social organizations. What part of my lifestyle are you worried about?

Answer 9

i'm a girl, i'm not a homosexual nor a bisexual neither. but i have a homosexual friend. his mother found out when we were still in highschool after a retreat... his mom is okay about his gender but then his father can't accept the fact that he's gay.. i like his mom's approach towards me, very sweet.
