I would tell him that I support him no matter what and my love for him wouldn't change a bit. He is my child...I could never hurt him like that.

There could be some much worse, i have 3 girls and want a son like a person who wants a cigarette after eating in a Florida eatery. So most likely I would be devastated. But there could be some many other things that could be worse. Instead of gay, what about I have AIDS, or I like small children, or I like to hurt and mistreat the elderly and handicap. You see now. Pick your battles, and know that you will not change anything but their feelings towards you. But if you are the gay one, run with it, life is so short, just protect yourself, there's so many people that live undercover, and are not using protection. Good Luck whatever end you are on

Honestly, wouldn't bother me a bit. For some reason it would bother me more if my daughter was. My son - wouldn't bother me at all. Probably because all the gay men I know (out and not out) are fun and really crack me up. I don't know a lot - maybe 3 but they all are fun to be with. I also have 4 friends with gay brothers and although I would never ever wish my child to be gay - I do believe whole heartedly that no one would choose that lifestyle and they are born that way. So - why wouldn't someone accept their child for who they are? That's what baffles me.

I would be surprised, speechless and worried.
Surprised, because I would've never imagined,
Speechless, because what can you say other than:< I love you son and I will always love you and be proud of you.>
Worried, because as a parent you always try to protect your kids from being hurt by others, and sadly people don't realize that no matter what sexual orientation you have or what religion you are, or what ethnicity you come from we all want the same thing....Peace and Love!

It wouldn't matter to me. I love my son so much. It doesn't change him as a person. My husband might have a problem with it at first but he'd get over it. He loves him too much to let it get in the way. Being gay would just be part of who he is like him having brown hair and blue eyes. It would just be part of who he is.

First thing is that I would stop bugging him about when I'm going to get grand kids. Seriously though, I would sit him down and let him know what kind of negativity he is going to encounter on all fronts and make sure that he had a good social network that he could fall back on when things get rough out there. We all have to face adversity of one kind or another, but it is even harder for those who have no support of any kind. I would work together with him to find local agencies and groups and make sure that we kept an open avenue of communication between us. Not being part of that community, he would have to work as hard as I to find people he could trust and rely on, but I would do what I could.

Shocked, but no matter what I would love him and support him. Even if dad is against it, You cant force your child into a life you think is proper. They will find their own way in life, just support him.
Nothing wrong with being gay. He is a regular person still just happens to like guys than girls.

I think it'd be very unlikely that I'd have a son tomorrow, but if I did, I wouldn't really think any different of him. I'd be glad he was honest with himself, and maybe we'd talk about it for a while. I'd like him to know that I support him.

I would love him anyway and tell him so. I would ask him to take care of his health and give him any assistance in that regard. (Of course, this would take some getting used to, but it's his life.) However, if the was 12 I'd say he should wait a few years before he is sure.

What would I do? Nothing, he is my son. I'd feel so fortunate to have a son that loves me and trusts me enough to tell me, and not try and hide from who he really would be.
