If being gay is how they feel they were meant to be and it makes them happy, I would support them as I have in their other decisions. And I would continue to love them just as I do now. I can no more judge them than I can anyone else.

The "Gay Lifestyle" is just that, a CHOSEN way of living that is a "Learned Behavior", Sometimes influenced by the bodies chemical makeup causing one to be physically & mentally affected contrary to their "Birth Gender". Often a lack of Communication on the Parents & Childs part sends the Child into the "Closet" Secretly Learning a Lifestyle contrary to the "Intended Genders" Lifestyle from birth. If open communication were present, the parent would (if they were doing their jobs) seek medical & psychological help for both the parent & their child to see if there are underlying physical problems contributing to the childs desire to accociate with another gender. If there were no physical problems present than the child using their own "Free Will" is acting out in "Rebellion" against both their Earthly Parents & God. Scripture is clear on Homosexuality being a conscience choice against God & it is the same choice many make when refusing to accapt Christ as Savior. I noticed U used the term "turned" indicating that what once was the normal state of being has been changed into an abnormal state. This can only happen by one of 2 mechanisims. 1) Physical influances/changes OR 2) Exercising ones "Free Will" to make a change by choice. The responsibile Parent always sets the "Tone" for worship in the Family & this means consistant intake of Bible Doctrine & Prayer drawing the Family closer to God. As nothing is too big for God to deal with, unlike humans, Parents should continue their Family Devotions Loving their children & entrusting their well being to God, understanding God forces no one against their Free Will, but will always be there for His children when they Repent.

People don't turn gay. It's like saying your child can turn into a car. I would love my child no matter what. It might disappoint me as my hopes of being a grandmother with the picture perfect family but in reality, all families have problems, and the perfect family doesn't exist. I would love my child and hope they were able to find someone that they could form a life with and be happy with.

Usually - people don't "turn" gay. They just are.
If my child were gay - I would do the same things I'd do if they were straight. BUT - there would be some extra guidance required, because our society is as accepting as one might hope. So - it would be even more important to instill a sense of pride into my child.

Being that I don't believe children turn gay but are born with a propensity towards gayness I would accept any gender my child fell under with open arms and a open heart.

First, and I am sure others have said this before, they wouldn't "turn" gay. But if they revealed they were gay, I'd still support them. It's no big deal, they'd still be my son/daughter.

Turned gay - well I'd be utterly amazed that someone had actually "Turned" gay.
My daughter IS a lesbian. She doesn't control who she finds attractive any more than you do.
I look forward to her finding a nice girl to settle down with.

Love and support them...people don't "turn" gay. As a herterosexual. did you wake up one day and say "what's it gonna be...boys or girls?" Of course not...
Why judge people based on who they fall in love with. Hope they have happy, healthy, fulfilling adult relationships and don't drive yourself crazy over it. As a parent, you did nothing wrong, but you could do a lot wrong now by alienating them. Good luck-do the right thing.

People don't "turn" gay. They may figure out that they are gay, but they were that way the entire time.
I would love them exactly the same, they are first & foremost, your child, regardless of your feelings about homosexuality.

First of all, no one "turns gay." However, if my child trusted and loved me enough to share such a private and personal revelation, I would thank God that I had been a good enough parent to deserve that trust. Then I would hug them and assure them that my love for them was as strong as ever, and I that I would always be there for them.
