but if you were GIVEN A CHOICE, before you become parents to choose, would you prefer a gay child or a straight child?

To be honest with you.... i would love & accept my child no matter what they turn out to be, but if i had a choice I would want to have a straight child simply because I would not want them to have to deal with the discrimination that the world has towards homosexuals. The world is full of intolerant people, and there are some things you just can't protect your child from as much as you'd love to block them from all hate & evil in the world... So if i had the choice I would want my child to be straight so i would not have to see my child suffer from the excess cruelty in the world. The every-day cruelties are bad enough.

Wow, that is a tough one. Thank God that we do not get to chose these things. A child is a blessing - gay, straight, bi or any thing else.
That being said, after seeing all of the anguish that some of my gay friends have been through, if I had to chose, I think that I would chose straight just because it would be easier for the child in life. On the other hand, my gay friends seem to have a resolve, a strength and a peace that only struggles can bring.
I will be interested to see what everyone else says...

Unconditional love would not recommend that the discern is going to extremely joyful with each and each of the concepts the baby makes, genuine loving mum and dad prefer what's ultimate for their baby. maximum folk can no longer help if, they have been suggested to have confidence that specific behaviors, like being gay or an atheist or notwithstanding, is incorrect and could consequently make their baby's existence unhappy or grimy or will ban them to hell. yet while somebody disowns or end loving their baby for any reason, then that's no longer unconditional love. Conditional love has that is place, earlier you dedicate to somebody for existence. you're able to desire to comprehend them that so nicely, which you will have confidence their habit decrease than all situations. yet as A discern, I certainly have a question. What do childrens experience approximately unconditional love from their mum and dad, in the process the difficult adolescent and previous due teenage years? We fee issues that we've had to artwork for. If the baby is familiar with that no rely what, their discern will constantly cope with them with love, might that be why they cope with the discern, in a disrespectful unloving way? assume that the discern has constantly been affected person and responsive to the baby, please. i ought to place this in a separate question, the place it belongs, i think.

I wouldn't want to know, no more than wanting to know the gender of my child either.
I was just glad he had all ten fingers and ten toes, no immediate health issues or birth defects and was crying and making a fuss.
Finding out he was a boy was just icing on the cake in my opinion. I wouldn't have cared either way, boy or girl...I am now really glad I did have a boy...I hear girls are much harder to raise.
He's my son, my flesh and blood, my family. I would love him if he had two heads and only three fingers. I would love him if he was gay or straight or bisexual or even transgendered. He's still my child no matter what!
He's a great kid/young man and I'm blessed to have him in my life.

Why should it matter, given a choice to have a gay or straight child.

I agree with the comment above that love is not unconditional. However, love from a parent to a child should always be unconditional. I would love my child no matter how they were born. They would be a gift from God no matter what.

This world is a scary place for people who don't fit into the "normal" christian or religious mold of their culture. I'd be terrified for my child to be gay because I have homophobic relatives and many people in my city have been attacked and worse because they were gay. But if my child were gay I'd still love that child, I'd just be more fearful whenever he/she went out.

I would love my children no matter what. I want them to be happy and have wonderful lives. I want to support them any way I can. I think when parents disown or condemn gay children it is because they are afraid. Every thing we say and do is either based in love or fear. I want to try to understand my children so that I can be the best parent I can be. They are such a gift and I would never care or love them less if they are gay.

Any person that would kick a child out because they are gay doesn't deserve to have children at all.
I'd choose for my child to be happy, whatever that meant for the child.
