Well geee I guess I would take them to the nearest firing squad... GEEZE .. If your any parent... you probably had a clue .. probably early on... hopefully that you did not take a blind eye... too.. because you couldn't cope..
.
BUT I say Love them and try to make the best of it..
turning them away isn't the answer .. they are your kids .. no matter what// good bad or gay....
AND SHOWING THEM IN THE BIBLE where they sinned... ... COME ON >> dont you think that finally telling you.... and dealing with their own relationship with Christ is allready ENOUGH... THEY allready are troubled... If they want to read the bible .. I am sure THEY KNOW WHAT PASSAGE TO READ.. about being GAY.... You have probably showed them a hundred times allready...

Although it's not what I would pick for my child, and I would worry about how much harder life might be for them (due to traditional society values, etc.) I would tell them that all that mattered to me was their happiness in life. I would embrace their partner just as I would a son's wife or a daughter's husband. Life is hard enough without rejection and judgment from your own family members. Unconditional love for our children is the least we can do.

I would think that even at 18 one would not necessarily be sure of their sexuality. you can be 'bi-curious' at 18 for sure. however, I truely believe that somewhere along the path to the discovery to being 'gay', something has happened to make one believe and come to terms with settling with the idea of living out their lives that way....be sure to recollect your past and resolve any hurts before compartmentally deciding that you are in fact 'gay'

Is there some way I'm supposed to react? I'm not sure I'd have any reaction at all because they would have been raised KNOWING that I would love and cherish them no matter what. I'd tell them that I love and accept them for who they are and that their sexual preference is of NO consequence. I'd also welcome and accept their partners.

Nothing would change. They'll always be my babies, so it doesn't matter what their sexual preference was. Although, I'd HOPE they know the ways of the Lord and make the best decision for them. It's not my place to judge, so I'd love and support them NO MATTER WHAT.

What am I supposed to do beat him over the head with a stick or disown him? He is my son.....lol
BTW It is hard to say what you would do until it actually happens to you!

Tell them good luck, and hope that they found someone compatible to be with... same as any other kid. And worry about the homophobes who can't grow up and realize that other peoples' choice of partners is no threat to anything.

I would react great..
it is their decision and as long as they are doing good in society and a respectable human being, they have the right to make their own decisions.
