A "former" homosexual is one who never was a homosexual, just sexually confused or curious. Gay is not a choice, gay is in your genes and bones just like the color of your eye. Your child should be careful from a health perspective, however, just like anyone should be - STD's, AIDS, etc. affect everyone!

At least you recognize that someone can be a former homosexual. This is somewhat akin to asking if someone would let their kid marry an former alcoholic. In both cases, a concerned parent would want to have a serious talk with their child so that they would understand the situation fully and with what their confidence is that the person in question has truly overcomed it and how they would be able to be a guard for that person.

I'm going to assume my son or daughter are over 18. In that case, who they choose to marry is not something I could allow or disallow. I can just see my Mom trying to tell me I couldn't marry my husband! That would have gone over like a lead balloon and even though she didn't like him 19 years ago when we married, she has to admit we've had a wonderful marriage and he's a better man than she thought he was.

My kids are all married, and they didn`t let me chose who they married, But people make mistakes in life, and they sometimes seek forgivness, I wouldn`t want my grandkids to marry someone who had ever been with same sex, because of health reasons, but even straight people have been with homosexuals, the only way to make sure, you are safe from STD is to marry someone that a virgin, and thats what I would chose for my grandkids. but not my choice.

Yes. Can't see a reason why not...
My main concern is that they marry a man who is a Christian, lives a Christian lifestyle, and is secure in his role as the head of the household - along with all that the title entails.
What he did previous to becoming a Christian would only come up if he reverted back to his old way of life.

I don't think we have a choice in who they marry, unless they're under age. We could try to stop it, but that wouldn't work we all know that! I would try to discourage it for sure, and let my opinion be known, but it wouldn't matter if they wanted to get married would it?

I do not have children (22 yr old single) but if I did, I wouldn't have a problem with it if they had a changed life and were no longer engaged in any way with such activities. I'm not sure I could stop them- I don't believe arranged marriages real work in this day/age/culture- but as a concept I am okay with it.

I have no impact on who someone marries. I do not care why someone is gay. If they are, then fine. It is what it is. We spend too much time worrying about things we cannot change.

It is not for you to choose who your son or daughter loves. Accept it or lose the love of your child.
