"one did you create it, by dressing your son in women clothling, or your daughter in pants, then you are to blame."
That is an absolutely ridiculous answer.
If a child began to show gay or lesbian tendencies, I wouldn't worry because children are somewhat asexual. If it were a teenager, I would let them know that you support them whatever choice they make because then they would feel they could talk to you about it and thus would come to you with questions, etc.

what do you mean by showing signs?? and how would you discuss them?? i for one would not let the child think they were less a person for this. and it depends how old they are a child of ages 3to 12 aren't really going to understand but older kids that are going through hormones and things like that yeah just explain they are not wierd and it fine that they know who they are. make them comfortable with it. but before that go get the answers you need read books and anything you can get your hand on in the subject go to a suport group. anything to help the child understand what they are going through..please don't ignorant like some of these answers being gay is not wrong and it says in the bible man is made in God image so there ya go and it doesn't sat some it says all!!! PLEASE LOVE YOUR CHILD NO MATTER WHAT AND AGAIN DON'T BE IGNORANT AND PETTY AS SOME OF THESE ANSWERS!! CHILDREN DON'T ASK TO BE BORN THEY ARE BORN OUT OF LOVE, SO SHOULDN'T WE LOVE THEM NO MATTER WHAT??

It all depends on the age of the child, however remember growing up is road of discovery, please don't make an issue out of it, whatever will be will be and whether your child turns out gay/lesbian is a little irrelevant as a parents love is unconditional.

its like discussing the bird and bees with any child. Your child preference is just that "their preference" and they should feel comfortable enough to tell you (if they want to). As long as you never say that its a bad thing ( which it isnt) and let them know that you love them regardless. If my child wanted to discuss it, i'd be open to it.

I think I'd just behave as always and wait until my kid wanted to discuss it (sometimes you have to listen very carefully for these moments...).
P.S. After seeing some of the disrespectul answers to your question, I'd like to add that you be a supportive and loving parent. That's what we're here to do. Mario C should be voted "best answer."

Well I think that I would discuss why he would be into fudge packing and why it is a very nasty practice. And then if he is willing to admit to being a fudge packer and he is willing to admit that it is nasty, then I will have no problem with him being that way. If he tries to pass it off as being "perfectly normal" then I will have to knock some reality into him.

if my child were gay/lesbian, then i wouldnt be concerned. i might even be proud and happy that they are that way. i am very pro-gay and im liberal. i would love my child whomever they grow up to be, unless they just waste theyre life being bums, but yeah, you get what im saying.

AS A PARENT I WOULD MOST ASSUREDLY ASK WHAT IS GOING ON ESPECIALLY IF THE CHILD IS UNDER MY ROOF AND I AM RESPONSIBLE AND I WOULD TELL THE CHILD THAT IT IS WRONG AND TO GET THAT CHILD SOME HELP I HOPE YOU ATTEND CHURCH AND KNOW THAT IT IS AN ABOMINATION IN THE EYES OF GOD MAN IS FOR WOMAN AND WOMAN IS FOR MAN

don't accuse your kid of being gay or lesbian, or even ask. you will ruin his/her self-esteem. just let it go, let him/her be how he/she wants to be. if the child turns up gay later on in life, that's a decision on them, there would have not been anything you could have done to change it.
