whether you have a child or not (If you don't just imagine the idea)
i would most certainly praise them for coming out and take them to eat for celebration (No one will know because of these bigots)

I'd be proud that they told me and support them in any way I could.

Ask them "why do you think I would care either way?" It is their life, not mine. My children (both grown men today) always had the choice to do whatever they wanted in life, with me behind them in support. I am gay, I raised both my sons, and both are straight. They had every opportunity to be what they are, and they both are just that. Personally, at times, with humor, I wonder just what I did wrong! Being Gay has many advantages..total freedom of expression with no social expectations of emotional boxes. But my sons were born straight, and that is what they are. Big deal..I do not hold it against them, and we are very close to this day. It is my shoulder they whine on when things don't go as expected, it is my shoulder they cry on when they are hurt, and it is me they share the good times with. I am a very lucky father. Good luck

I am pretty homosexual friendly, so I think if my son realized he was gay, he wouldn't have any trouble telling me.
On the other hand, I guess I would be a little disappointed because he is my only child and I wouldn't be likely to get any grand children.

I would most certainly be suprised. I hope to raise my children to not steer in that direction. I do not bad mouth gay population to my children, but all in all I would not hate them. I would still love them without a thought.

Absolutely positively without a doubt I will always always love her and support her. Gay or straight, short or tall. smart or stupid. ugly or pretty. funny or boring. what's the difference. Really? i love her because she's my daughter/friend. because she is good and kind and caring and compassionate and a million other reasons. NOTHING will ever change that.

When my daughter told me she was bisexual I simply stopped in her college hallway and said "Really I had no idea!". She said "for gods sake mom, you are in a lesbian relationship yourself, how could you not know that? Everyone else does!".
I treat it the same as I do any relationship that my daughters got involved with, whatever you want to do as long as you do it safely and accept the consequences of your actions, is fine with me.

Love her, love her, love her - just like I do being straight - which she is. Attention bashers - my sexuality has not made my daughter into a lesbian. Anyhow, it wouldn't change the way I feel about her one bit and she knows that.

A parent should have unconditional love for their child. Of course it's not always the case. Personally I don't care if all three came to me and said they were homosexual. That's their choice and it won't change my love for them.

I'd make a cake, go buy some rainbow candles and throw a small coming out party.
