If you are a parent and with all the banning of Gay rights, how would you react if your son/daughter said if he/she were gay/lesbian?

I would love my son no matter what.

Where I live gay people have all of the rights that anyone else has. If my son or daughter were gay/lesbian then I would love them the same as I do now. It really makes no difference to me. I can't imagine a parent feeling anything but love for one of their children.

Well I have a daughter so in some ways I would be sad because I want to see her get married and walk down that isle with a beautiful dress! But I honestly dont care if she was or not. I love her and and i will no matter what she does or becomes. It is called unconditional love and that is what being a parent is all about! Also there is nothing wrong with gay people! They are people just like us and have feelings also!

It would be hard as hell, but I would accept my daughter, if she were a lesbian. Who knows exactly how one would react? I frankly don't care if someone is gay or a lesbian, because to each his own. Aren't we taught not to judge a book by it's cover? Soem of the best friends Ihave ever had have been gay or lesbian. Who better to man-hate with than your gay best friend with wonderful taste in clothes? Or who better to help you pick out lingere than a lesbian friend? I know that sounds odd, but think about it.

I have daughter so far and as she's only 18 months it's a little soon to be thinking of such things. But the truth of it is I'd be sad for her. Because she'd never be able to seen for what she was inside only her sexual preferences, she wouldn't be able to marry her life partner or make any sort of formalized commitment to them, and she'd probably be degraded and harassed for the rest of her life. I have too many friends who have on numerous occasions just wished to be "normal" for just a little while so they could be treated like real people that I don't think I could be anything but apprehensive. I love her more than words can say and I pray that life is easier on her than it is on some people.
PS~ Saying that gays have equal rights because we don't stone them to death in the US is like saying the Civil Rights movement was over the minute we stopped lynching people. Just because people don't kill you doesn't mean you're afforded the rights and protection by the law that you deserve as a human being.

I would take it one day at a time. It certainly would not be something that would disown my son for.
I don't know what you mean by 'gay rights'. I think if you choose to live in a way that is not conducive to the laws in your country, you need to move to a country where the laws are more hospitable to you. You know in certain countries, gays are simply murdered by their own father? I think American minds have come a LONG way in a short time.

I am a Christian and know that the Bible has said that lifestyle is against His will. I would tell my child, "There are a lot of things that look and feel good that God tells us we should not do or have. I believe that you really do feel good looking at those the same sex as you and I'm sorry that your body is telling you these things. Being a Christian is not always easy and for you this may be the toughest part, but it doesn't mean you should give up. I will love you just as God will love you no matter what decisions you make in life, but the truth is in the Bible and the Bible says no. Drugs can make you feel good, but you still know to say no to it. Since your body is made in a way that gives you good feelings with the same sex, than you are going to have to constantly be aware of that and ensure that you are making the right decisions based on what God has told you to do in His word. I love you and want you to be able to come talk to me anytime you are struggling with this and we can pray about it together. Some times we think we know what is best for our lives, but the truth is, we just don't. Humans are known for screwing things up :) Only God knows what is best and He wants what is best for you.

I am a Parent of six 3 children of my own and 3 step-children and if any of them told me that they were gay/lesbian. I would tell them that I don't agree with that life style, but I still love them and will always be there for them.

If my son told me he was gay... I would say " I love you, and thank you for feeling like you could tell me without fear of persecution."
I love my son, no matter what he does, who he is, what he likes or who he likes. I hate his music, I hate his taste in clothes, his taste in friends. I hate that he never holds the door for me, or never offers to carry groceries in the house.. I don't like lots of things that my son does, but that doesn't stop me from loving him, and wanting to do anything to make him happy.
Him telling me if he were gay wouldn't change that.

I would support them for having the courage to be honest about their sexuality in a society that caters to pseudo-Christians that want to tell everyone how to live.
