Son: Mom, I'm gay.
Mother: OK. What would you like for dinner?
Do you love your son for being straight?
No mother in the whole world stops loving their children because of their sexuality.
Only bad, uncaring mothers do so.
Are you one of them?
Being gay is neither a sin nor a crime.
What is it that would shock you the most if your son was gay?
That he wouldn't get married to a nice girl and have children?
What your only concern should be is his HAPPINESS.
Isn't that what all parents want for their children? To be happy?
Give him LOVE.
Nothing more, nothing less.

Seeing as how I have to go through this with my parents, personally, I would be supportive to my son/daughter. I would let him/her know that I am there for them no matter what. I know my buddy's mom was upset at first that he was gay, but after a few months she finally got over it and would ask him about his boyfriend. Be supportive people! This isn't easy for us kids telling you either.

well, i'm a gay teen, so my parents have a gay son.. they don't know yet.
but being a gay teen, and hearing my parents make fun of gays, it really hurts. because there is nothing wrong with being gay.
being gay isn't a choice, and it's not all about sex or anything either.. it's about love, and ppl have to understand that. i wouldn't go out with someone just for sex.. i would go out with him because i truely loved him. you can't help who you fall in love with.
if i did have a son and he told me he was gay, i would support him 100%.. i would tell him that if he had a bf to bring him over one day, and i would just be there for him whenever he needed to talk. if he wanted to join some gay club, i would take him, and even volunteer, i would take him to the out games or whatever, and we would have a great time. even if i was straight i would still do that, because even before i knew i was gay i had an open mind.
if you have a son or daughter, please just be there for them if they are gay. it's REALLY hard to be gay and have parents who don't support you. so please support them!!

Being a gay parent myself, if either one of my daughters told me that they were gay, I'd love them no matter what. I'd also school them on being careful because there's a lot of mean folks in this world. Then I'd tell them to take out the trash, clean their room, etc. Love your son for who he is. A mother's love is a powerful thing, darling. Also, check out some of your gay support groups either online or in your hometown(if you have one). Best of luck!

I would still love my son or daughter if they told me they were gay, i would'nt love them any less, in fact i would love them more. I have a son, but he's not gay, when i came out to him last year he was very supportive and he still is. It's Called Unconditional Love!

If I had a son who was straight or gay, I would support him not matter what. If this is the way he is, then I just have to accept that and help him with any issues that arise from his orientation. I have absolutely no problem with homosexuality, so I wouldn't treat him differently compared to if he were straight.
I suppose the only difference would be that I could point out nice looking guys to him ^^

I would be so proud that they trusted me enough to know that I would not condemn or ridicule them. I would offer them literature on safety. I would ask to meet their boyfriend/girlfriend if they had one. OK, I admit it. I have been there/done that. I have also been a sounding board and mediator for several teens and a couple of adults. It did not in ANY way change the way I felt about my child. If anything it made us close because they felt comfortable enough with me to share something so incredibly personal.

Well, even though I'm gay myself, I'd feel awkward. I wouldn't think that my boyfriend and I caused his gayness, but I would feel that society would think that way. But of course we would love and support him. I think he would have a better life than I did growing up, having parents that are gay just like he is. My boyfriend's mother is bisexual, and while he didn't have a great life, having a mother that accepted his sexuality helped him out immensely.
Hmmm, there's alot of positive comments here, I wonder how positive your comments would be if you posted this question in the Religion/Sprituality section? Just a thought, nothing derogatory ment by it.

Well, I hope I would have made him feel that this was an option for him all along, and that we would have already discussed some of his questions about sexuality and reasons for thinking he might be gay. If these things had happened and he told me that he was gay, I would probably give him a great big hug and then cook his favorite meal to celebrate him coming into his own and knowing and accepting himself for who he is.

Tell him that I love him just the way he is. I would be happy that he had felt comfortable telling me this, but I would be anxious, since I know that things will be more difficult for him than it should be. He might have to face ignorant people who want to make him less than human or hurt him because he's attracted to men rather than women. He'll have a smaller pool of people to find dates from, and a lot of those guys will be screwed up from living in a culture with a lot of hateful idiots who don't accept them for who they are, including parents who disown their own children just because of who they find attractive. Even if he does find the perfect man for him, he more than likely will not be recognized as the legal partner or spouse of his mate and can be denied rights that heterosexual couples can take for granted.
I wouldn't care one bit whether a child of mine was gay, but I would worry about them.
