I would still love my child as if there were no tomorrow....people don't realize that things like sexual orientation and the way we, as parents, handle it (if in a bad way), tends to drive our kids away. Love your child please...love him the same way as you did when you first held him...the same way you did when he took his first breath..his first step...his first word...his first laugh....just love him...he would always love you; he doesn't deserve any less, and neither do you.

I would hug him/her, love him/her and let them know that I'll always be there for them. I would make sure that they knew they could talk to me about anything at any time. Knowing that gay kids have an even tougher time I'd be even more supportive of my child. I'm very protective over people that I love. If somebody f*cks with my family or friends I can be a real mean b*tch.

Parenting should be un-conditional love, to tell a child that you suddenly put boundaries on your love is wrong.
The Prophet; "Your children are like arrows, and you as a parent are the bow, You can point them in the direction that you want them to go, but when you loosen the sting of the bow, many things will depend on where they fall, and where the wind will take them."

I would celebrate the fact that my child trusted me enough to talk to me. I am a gay parent of a teenage son. Obviously, I'll love him no matter who he loves, male or female. However, I realize how hard it can be to be gay, especially when you are young (what with all the "Christians" running around telling him what a siner he is and how it's "all in his head"). So I would worry and try to help him past the rought spots.

I would try to be as accepting and understanding as possible. No doubt it would be a shock, but i have some wonderful friends who are homosexuals and i respect them for how they are able to deal with their issues. All this world needs is some tolerance and it would be a much better place!

Do?....what exactly is it that you "think" (?)
anyone could "do" about it?
.....wave a magic wand and change his DNA?
Do you believe that real, honest, unconditional parental love of a child could suddenly reverse, or stop, like the flip of a switch.
Most parents know their children far better than the children think they do.
Few, who really knew, understood, and loved their child, would be that shocked or suprised.

Tell him exactly what my Mother told me: that he was my child and no matter what, that I love him and will continue to love him. I just would like to know that what he does is safe. But he can ALWAYS count on my love. That's what my Mother told me. Blessings.

Homosexuals need love and acceptance just like anyone else. I would support and love them no matter what.

Accept them and continue to love them as a parent would love their child.

Same thing I'd do if he told me he was straight. Celebrate his new-found sexuality. What's the big deal? Some of my best friends...
