I've been reading a lot of comments on this lately. I find it really sad and disturbing that peole are so bigoted still! Parents are supposed to love their children unconditionally, I can't imagine how some parents put down or even kick their gay children out of their homes. Makes me sick.

WIG - You state that the bible says homosexuality is wrong - but at the same time doesn't the bible state to treat others the way you would like to be treated? Just a thought!

As long as my child loves the other person and isn't hurting anyone else..who am I to judge?! My children are my life and if one of them tells me their life style isn't the same as mine...I wouldn't care...I love them unconditionally...like they love me and respect my chosen life! My son and his "friend" could live with me if the world didn't like them...screw the world..I want my children happy!! And being loved by someone...is a wonderful thing!

if my child told me he was a homosexual i would not care, as long as he or she was happy. In the end the only thing that should matter to a parent is that there children are happy and loved. As a parent you can choose if you never want to talk to your child again because they are a homosexual but you are the one that is losing out on all those special moments you have with your child. The world is changing. As a parent you should love your child unconditionally and support the choice they make in life. Everyone need to get over this whole GAY thing. All that matters are that those two people are in love. Is shouldnt matter what there gender or race is.

I agree. I have two sons in their early 20s. They are both straight, but would I love them any less if they weren't? Of course not. Parents should want their children to be happy. If a person is gay and finds happiness in a relationship with someone of the same gender, then a parent should be pleased that the child is happy. But, very strict religous parents have turned away their children for marrying out of their faith. I understand that even less, but it happens all the time. There are some pretty bad parents out there, and abuse can take many forms. This sort of thing is abuse, as far as I'm concerned.
I'm disturbed to see people saying things like they've done "worse" than being gay. People are BORN gay. It's not like they've decided to go out and rob liquor stores. I also love that someone who hates gays can't even spell queer right.

I wouldn't care if my son or daughter was gay at all. I think it would most defiantly take some getting used to but to the point where I would kick him/her out--I wouldn't go that far. I would still love my child unconditionally. I wouldn't put him/her down. I think as a parent, I'd be shocked and wonder if I had part in it. Living a heterosexual life is far easier then being a homosexual and I'd really feel horrible that my child would have to go through that. I think with a lot of understanding and a lot of love any family can "deal" with a homosexual member.

Well, I know if my child were gay I wouldnt be the happiest person in the world but no way would I kick my kid out. I do agree parents should be loving no matter what. I do not always agree with my dad or mom and they do not always agree with me but I know no matter what I do they love me. Even if I were gay, and I have done a lot worse than that. (Im not so young.) But some people arent that open and most people were raised to not be open to being gay. That is just how this world is, these people are older and the chance of changing their minds is very slim.

I agree - it is very sad that a parent would degrade their child for ANY behavior. It's one thing to correct / discipline a child; but you don't belittle them because they aren't what you wanted them to be! Maybe their parents belittled them, so they're continuing the cycle - whatever the reason, it's just wrong!
Would it bother me? Yes, because the bible says it's wrong. But the bible also says EVERY sin can be forgiven if we receive Jesus into our hearts. We're supposed to love the sinner but hate the sin. Would I love them any less or kick them out of the house because of it? - ABSOLUTELY NOT. But they would not be permitted to practice homosexual behavior in my home, any more than I would allow pre-marital sex in my home. If parents are expected to respect their children's lifestyle choices, the children must be expected to respect the parent's as well - and especially respect house rules, because the parents are the ones paying the bills and providing for the children. People just need to realize that sometimes you have to agree to disagree, because life is too short to spend it hating somebody or being angry all of the time.

Four years ago I learned my daughter was Gay. She had been in a 10 year marriage and not happy.
She is now with a partner. They care very much for each other and it has worked out much better than I would have ever guessed. Her daughter included. It is amazing how well it has worked out.
Once you get past the initial surprise, you find it's not as bad as people think.
We are all just fine. Everyone has a right to a happy life.

Well, it's not that the parents don't love them. But in past society, it has been viewed as the person having a "problem." So, the parents think of homosexuality as a problem, rather than as a lifestyle choice. I think it will take society a long time to not be so judgemental. Look at our world today...there is still racism, sexism...we still have a lot of kinks to work out...

The Bible, really has nothing to do with homosexuality. It just doesn't. Anyways, no I wouldn't care. Parents kick their child out of their house because they always wanted them out of the house. But, No I personally would let them stay until they were 18 and go to colllege.

I agree with you, I find it so sad that people are so narrow minded and predjudiced. If my son or any other children I have are homosexual I will love them just the same. As long as my children are happy then I will be happy.

Although I wouldn't agree with the lifestyle my child chose, I wouldn't kick him out or not love him just as much as before. And I would never put him down for it either. I would probably tell him that I don't agree with it but still love him and support him in all his decisions!
