Say one day your child comes home and tells you that they are gay or lesbian. Would you love them any less. Would you disown them and have nothing to do with them or love them as you always have?

I'm glad to know you 99% would love their child the same....but in reality there are many mothers and fathers who turn their backs on their kids I being a mother can not for the life of me see how a woman who carried a child for 40wks sick some days good some days could disown your child that is not a real mother in my eyes I have known many gays who had no family to go home to on holidays because their family wanted nothing to do with them..... we (my family) were their family I a sister they didnt have and my mother a mom they had no more........my brother is gay and I love him as much as i ever had he now is HIV pos and I think of the love and support he needs now more than ever.........And LadyDragondale never blame yourself

I think it is unrealistic to think that parents wouldn't be somewhat disappointed that their child is gay/lesbian because of preconceived ideas about how their children should grow up. However, I don't think that a parent should be disppointed IN their child or love them any less. Your child is yours no matter who they sleep with. Loving them should be like breathing air.

I think I would cry. I only have 1 son and 1 daughter and I want them to be happy, but our religon is not very accepting of homosexuals. I would deffinatly be a little upset, shocked, but would get over it eventually when I realized that this is what would make my child happy. Oh, and I would probably also blame myself at first.

It would be a hard and difficult situation, but in the end you can only support your child, they are going to do what they wish with or without your support. So be part of there life and educate them and support em.

They would still be the child I bore and have loved all of their life. My love would not change and I would support them in any way I could.

I would love them. I think maybe I would be a little sad because of all the pain they will have to face but I would still love them for sure!

i wouldnt do nothing besides tell them that i support them and love them just the same and tell them that i admire the courage they have to be able to tell people
there is nothing a child can do for you to love them any less

Any "real" parent who "really" loves their child would not think any differently. Being gay is not a choice..

It wouldn't change the way I feel about them. As long as they're happy I honestly wouldn't care but my husband would FREAK OUT! I would have a lot of mediating to do.

I love my children no matter what they will throw at me. If they come home and tell me that they like girls, It will be totally fine. The love for your child should be unconditional. :D
