Not at all. I'm completely indifferent to whether my children are gay or straight. And that's not to say I'm not religious. I'm actually very religious and I will love my kids however God makes them, gay or straight.

All the worrying in the world, will not change the fact, if that is meant to be! To be gay is from one's code programmed before birth into their DNA. You don't just decide to be gay! An unsuccessful conversion to gay, would more likely result in bi-sexuality or trying to reverse one's self to being straight for half of one's life, but the natural tendency still won't go away, so for the next half, they usually have to come out and declare their gayness, as it's too difficult to keep going against the flow! I wouldn't wish anyone to turn gay as it's challenge enough to have to handle society's reactions to those who truly are born gay. It's more often than not, never a deliberate choice, unless it's a stage a kid might go through to rebel against something, but after awhile, the real self is going to want expression, so if they're truly not gay, they will not be happy continuing as such! You can only deal with it, if that happens to be who your child really is. It would be far worse, to make them feel worthless or inferior, in some way, because they are gay. It's not any parent's wish, but you can't control the arrangement of your child's DNA! Until scientests perhaps, one day, will discover how to do that! But for now, it's accept it and deal with it, if if happens! Look at the positive! I think Ellen DeGeneres is awesome! There are many gay fashion designers that are very talented! Marc Jacobs, Karl Lagerfeld! Being gay, does not mean you can't also be brilliant! Who knows why our genes get mixed up like that? Perhaps it happens, to give us challenges in life, and to give us the opportunity how we must all learn to love and accept others, no matter their orientation or personal preferences. Being gay can do no harm to anyone else. Being a killer would be a concern, but gay or not, I think too much is made by everyone for these people that must try to live their lives with all the problems they get, only from the attitudes of others. They're hurting no one. If my child had a gay teacher, I wouldn't feel threatened in the least! Look at those female teachers who've preyed on their pubescent male pupils. What a sick power game! Yet more fuss is made about gays teaching than predatory over-sexed male or female teachers of the heterosexual variety! Too much prejudice in all the wrong places! And no, I'm nowhere near gay myself! I'm happily married and have a son, and he isn't gay either! But I truly feel for the dilemma gays must have to face in society! It's sad!!!

Sometimes I do worry. My son is an active boy but he seems to prefer playing with girls at school and is not very athletic. Of course, I'd love and support him no matter what, but I'd be worried about him being judged by the rest of the world. If he is gay, which I kind of doubt for various reasons, I'm glad he'll be raised in this day and aged where it's more accepted.

First of all I have absloutley nothing against gay people but yes sometimes I do think about it. I don't see where I would have a problem with it but I have a completely redneck family that I would be afraid would not even try to understand. I just want my children to be happy and I would be afraid there own family would make them miserable.

I'm not sure if I would say yes or no. I want my children to be happy but this world is so judgemental about the whole being gay issue. As far as it bothering me I would except my kids however they choose to live there life because I'm living mine the way I want, so why not let them.

I don't really think about it. I know my sister is kinda concerned that one of her kids is gay but she is not sure and he is only 13 years old.
I don't think it is something you should worry about because there is nothing you can do about it and there are more horrible things that could happen to a child.

NO NOT AT ALL!! wether my children turn out to be straight or gay i will love them just the same and treat them just them same. i want my kids to be happy and whatever path makes them happy then i am happy. i am happy with the path that i have in life. i was one of those people that are neither straight nor bi. and if like the opposite sex is gentic and i have a greater possibilty of my kids turning out to me gay or bi then so be it. i will be there for them through thick and thin. i know whats its like to have parents who hate there children for being "different" sexual. it hurts and i dont want my kids to feel the way i do

Before i was a mum i wondered if i would worry about that issue and now i definately do not. As long as they are happy then it doesnt matter. I will never love them any less and will respect their decision and try to advise them to be safe. My partner is more worried then me, however i think that is a man thing.

I would have to say no. I mean i am totally against my children loving the same sex but if my kids are happy about it than i happy for them i will still love my kids no matter who they choose to love in life.
