I'd feel proud that he had the courage to come out and that he wanted me to share his true life.

I have a very honest relationship with my son so if he did end up gay i reckon i'd of known anyway. each to their own i'd be disappointed for my own reasons of not having a daughter in law and a grandchild but now adays it doesnt matter you can have these things either way. life is too short i wouldnt care what way he turned out to be as long as he was happy and living his life the way he feels is right.

I like to think I would be understanding and supportive, but until it actually happens, I do not know how I would react. All I can say with certainty is, he would still be my son and I would love him as much as I do now. I would be happy if he is happy.

on some level, i think it would be a saddness, (being totally honest) only because the hope for grandchildren is no longer there On the other hand --- i would accept that this is the path that was given him/her. One cannot change another's destiny, no matter how angry or disappointed either parent may be. i think anger is the result of a parent thinking he/she is a failure, and thinking being gay is wrong. NOT SO. you are who you are, they (gay) are who they are. let em walk in peace. To the Aboriginal ppl, gays are Two-Spirited-a gift to openly hold and share qualities of both male and female, at one time they were revered because of that ability, time has gone and now the unthinking fear them.

Truthfully, I would be absolutely devastated. Mainly because that would mean no grandchildren. Well, in most cases anyhow. Secondly, I would just find it uncomfortable for awhile I'm sure and it would take awhile to adjust. I would also find it difficult telling my friends and other family members. But nonetheless, he would still be my baby and I would still love him just as much. I would not disown him. I would just want him to be happy. I think no matter what it will be difficult to tell your parents at first, but it will get easier to deal with once everyone has a chance to adjust. Good Luck!

I would be as supportive as possible. Our children are still our children whatever their sexuality.
It may have come as a complete surprise, but once the initial conversation has taken place I feel that our children need us very much.
There is a lot to come to terms with. But keeping the lines of communication open between you and your child is essential. The worse thing that could happen is if you reject your child and that he will remove himself from your life. Not a thing I would want to happen!

Well if my son was gay I would accept it. he is still the same person, but just doesn't have any interests in girl that is all. If you accept it then there will be a less of a chance of your son resenting you for not accepting who he is.

I should think you would have already had a clue that he was gay,if it is a complete shock to you think about it before you react badly, it is his life and he will get enough hassle from other people, his family should proudly stand by him, good luck.

I'll be disappointed if I only have one son, since that means no biological grandchildren. But honestly, after I get over that initial disappointment, I'll be fine with it since we can't control who we love and our sexual orientation. There is nothing wrong with being gay, as long as he knows what he is doing and acts responsibly.
