Id take it in and deal with it. Sorry but getting mad at her and disowning her is not going to make her less gay right? May as well come to terms with it and continue loving her as i always will.

I honestly think I wouldn't have a problem with it. I would support them and love them the same. My sons are 6 years old now, and already the world is becoming more tolerant and accepting. I live in Canada, homosexuals are allowed to get married, adopt children. I don't even know anyone who would openly admit to hating gay people, people are just accepting. So what I'm trying to say is that I would be less concerned (than other parents 10 years ago) of my gay son being discriminated against.
to January Love: Lesbians can still have children. I have a friend who is a lesbian, she used in vitro and delivered a baby girl 7 months ago.

It wouldn't matter to me. I'm 13 (and obviously don't have kids), but my cousin's gay and he's still extremely intelligent, successful, and an all-around nice guy :]. There's nothing wrong with being gay, although some people can make it difficult.
I'd support my child, and it wouldn't shake my love of him/her at all <3.
(And no, it isn't a choice. You're born with it.) From Wikipedia: American Psychological Association (APA) states that homosexuality "is not changeable", and that attempts at eliminating same-sex attractions are not effective and are potentially harmful. More generally, the APA states, "psychologists do not consider sexual orientation to be a conscious choice that can be voluntarily changed", and in 2001 United States Surgeon General David Satcher issued a report maintaining that "there is no valid scientific evidence that sexual orientation can be changed

I would tell him or her that this was OK, and then say OK, let's sit down and talk. Then I would have an open discussion with him/her about their own thoughts and find out why they believe that he/she is gay. It just might be one of those phases in life where they are confused. BUT either way if he/she is gay then they are gay end of story, nothing I say or do is going to change this.

I honestly wouldn't care. My goal for kids in life is to be safe and happy and if this is what will make them happy and they're safe, that's fine with me. I know my husband on the other hand wouldn't accept this and would throw a fit. With some father's is hard to accept your child, especially a son, if he's "different" from the norm and my husband fits right into that catagory.
Best wishes =]

I would support them and love them all the same. My uncle is gay, and I don't have anything against them. I was raised to believe ALL humans are equal. We all have emotions and beating hearts and we all are breathing. We're all HUMANS. Being gay/bi is a personal choice. You're not supposed to butt into somebody's personal life. If the person is nice, that is all that matters to me.

this is a good question...
My reaction would depend on how old they were. Either way I would be heartbroken. If they were really little I would be shocked, but would try to help them understand that it is a sin and that no one is born gay. If they were older and set in their ways again I would be very heartbroken but would treat them no different then I had before. It would be hard for me, but I would accept my child's bf/gf as best I could and make them feel welcome in my home. Again I see being gay as a sin but there are so many other things people do to sin and we still accept them and treat them the same of course with a few exceptions like murder. Sin is Sin and we all have something to repent for.
I know that I will have some thumbs down on my views, but this is what I believe and know to be true.

I'd be asking them when I get to meet their boyfriend/girlfriend! It would take adjusting, especially if it were my daughter as I dream about the day she gets married and makes me a grandma (gay marriages are not legal in AUS and lesbian couples have trouble adopting here too) but in all honesty I'd rather they be happy in themselves and I'd rather support them, than lose them.
No problem in my book, my parents however is another story...

In all honesty? I love my children unconditionally. However, I would feel a sense of sadness for them: it isn't easy being gay. I would also likely have a period of private mourning for all the things I had dreamed that won't happen, like weddings and pregnancies (I have all girls).
But as I said, the love is unconditional, so that wouldn't go away.

It would hurt me no use in lying about it!
However I would accept it because I love my son very much.
I want grandchildren someday so I hope he is straight but even if he's not I'd love him regardless.
It's a tough lifestyle and I'd be very worried about this afraid someone would hurt him.
Peace
