Would you disown your child if he/she was gay?

Question

i wouldn't cuz he/she couldn't help it...who would choose to be gay with all this debate stuff going on about gay marriage and stuff???

Hey, Canada, I never said it was a choice, I was making a point that it was NOT.

Answer 1

a mothers love is unconditional! i may not agree with what my child does but that is what makes everyone different! they will always be my baby!

Answer 2

Disown? That alone is laughable. You can't disown a child. You're either the biological mother or father, or you're not. You can't disown parenting. You can say 'I disown you' but it means zero in reality. You have no children so you have no idea what it means to love a child. The love you feel for your own child can make the most hate-filled person overlook their own beliefs. If your child was gay you might be shocked at first but to throw away the love you have for them over that is ridiculous. Get over phobias that you're passing judgment on. Not understanding something, or ignorance is no excuse for hate.

Answer 3

No i would never do that to a child. Being gay would not be his choice & he could not control it . Even if it was his choice i wouldn't, because i think that there is nothing wrong with it.

Answer 4

Absolutely not! If anything, I would worry about their being gay making their lives more difficult. With so many real problems in the world, and terrible things that can happen, this seems like a small thing to freak out about.

Answer 5

Hello there, the answer is "No" I would not disown my child, I love them and above all want them to be happy. And I respect the choices they make, like I expect my parents to respect me. Hope this helps.

Answer 6

What debate? Gay marriage is legal and nobody's debating it. At least in Ontario where I live.

People don't choose to be gay anyway. Why would you even think that? Did you choose your sexual orientation?

I'm straight and wouldn't want to be gay, but if my own child would, then so be it. It's not something I'm going to flaunt to everyone, but if that's how it is, then that's how it is. You can't argue with reality.

I don't have gay friends, but I certainly don't go out of my way to hate people simply for being gay.

Most people in my country accept homosexuality, so there isn't really an issue. It's not like I'd have to cover up the fact if that was the case. Big deal. I'm straight, my kid isn't.

The main thing I'd be concerned about is how my kid is doing.

Maybe with you being American, it's a different situation that I can't understand. It's hard to put myself in your shoes. One thing I know though, is that you'd be pretty ignorant for disowning your child due to their sexual orientation.

You are one more reason to hate the U.S.

Answer 7

No I couldn't disown either of my sons if they were gay. Watch that movie Transamerica about the transgendered woman and her family. It made me realize that there is nothing my children could do that would make me disown them.

Answer 8

No, I NEVER would disown my children. I love them unconditionally. Being gay is not necessarily a personal choice either. I'd love them anyway.

Answer 9

First of all, homosexuality isn't a choice. Therefore, anyone that would disown their child for that reason is disowning them for something that is out of their control.

Answer 10

No. Homosexuality is not something I approve of, however, I dislike the act, not the person. I would be sad, but I would not disown my child.

Answer 11

Hell no! my child is still part of me. my love for that child will never change. No matter what happens my child is still my flesh and blood. I may not agree with thier choices in life, I don't have to. but I will love them forever. Being homosexual is not a CHOICE it is who they are.
