I would be very supportive parent for them. I would be there for them 100% if they were gay or not. I would love them no matter what.
I dont think a person choices to be gay.

Well if I had a gay son or daughter I would treat them as i would treat any other child . If they choose to be gay let them I will just tell them god put man and woman on the Earth for a reason and let the figure the rest out for there self's.

I would first off not act like many parents by acting out in anger. I would instead accept my son or daughter for who they are rather than judge them. My son or daughter would know that no matter who they chose to love I will support them, because I would never judge for how they chose to live their life, because in my eyes they are still the same child I rasied and I am going to continue to support them.

The child is still your son or daughter and you should respect whatever they decide on their sexual statis. You brought him or her into this world and you shouldn't turn your back on them because they aren't what you hoped they would be. Maybe they aren't happy with the parents they got. Would you want them to turn their back on you? All I can say is that a child needs as much support as they can get with an issue like this. Be a parent and love them no matter what.

This is a hard one I have two children which I just had my son June first of this year. I have asked my fiancee what if one of my kids turns out gay how would you feel. He told don't even ask me that or even think or talk about that. Well myself i would be hurt and ask them why? Try my best to except it and love my daughter or son as much as before they told me they where gay. But its a very touchy subject when your wanting grandchildren one day.

Answer, we are your daugthers, we are your sons, we are your mothers and we are your sisters, we are your fathers. All we ask is that you let us serve." A famous speech from ret. Col. Grethe Cammermeyer."
Therefore the answer is your gay son or gay daughter are still the same human being. Only their sexual orientation is different. Accept them for who they are not for what they are.... Hope this helps. And if all fails go to
www.affirmation.org
or http://www.ldsfamilyfellowship.org/books/beyondacceptance.htm
I mean you might not be LDS but it helps to find a support group to understand all the gayisness of your son or daughter.

Are they happy, healthy, intelligent? Do they love their life, do they love you as parents?
Be happy that you have healthy happy kids no matter what.
But seriously, I know my sister who is 42, when she told my parents she was gay almost 24 years ago, they went silent, then whatever - they also lost 2 sons before they had her, so they were just grateful that she is healthy and happy - and so should you, or whoever.

Currently if i had children and one of them was gay I would totally accept it but as I probably grow older, and possibly more conservative as I age(very liberal right now), my actions may be quite different. I guess only time will tell...

I would morn for the pain they will have to endure from our society, but I would not love them any less. There is so much more to a person than their sexuality. I don't know why so much emphasis is put on it.

I would tell them I love them and hope that they are happy and hope they find someone that loves them! I told my kids the whole time they were growing up that I would love them even it they are gay! Why should it matter? Your child is your child. Even if they murder someone, I will still love my child! (No I would not approve of them doing something so horrible!) but I will ALWAYS love them!!!
