this is sorta ironic, a related situation happened to me. I am 18, and realized that I was bi at 16. Now me and my dads side of the family are Christians. When I came out to my dad (after church, Outside of the bloody building...still on chuch grounds, might I remind you), he called me; ******, a55hole, pu55y, gay, bisexual fvcker, and other derogitave terms. I ran away from my home, and havnt talked to him in over 2 years (he cant contact me, moved to another state)
I tell you this to make a point. Please treat them as if they were just a normal person...because they are. Jjust because they like guys/girls doesnt mean they arent less human/normal. Please dont critisize them, but do make sure that they are sure that they are. Just tell them that even if it is a phase, is he/she does have homosexual relations, it will stick to them for the rest of there life. Its not a bad thing in particular, but they cannot be truly "straight' agian. Please, PLEASE, ont critisize or fuss at them. Its not there fault, I truly believe that a person cannot choose there sexual orientation.

I had no problem with my nephew that lives with me. I asked him a lot of questions to see what he meant and came away from the conversation satisfied.
On the other hand, his dad, who is not religious but is a red-necked bigot, wished he was dead, hollered, screamed, and punched his truck door a number of times. I finally told him to take his tantrum elsewhere - so he left for a few days. It's been a few years now, and his dad can handle it AND his son's boyfriend as long as no one says or does anything "gay" in front of him.

I don't have children, nor am I overly religious, but if my child told me he/she was gay, I don't really think I'd be more concerned with my pride than my child's happiness. That takes an incredibly small minded person, and I hope I'm bigger than that.

my own kid having sex in my house would not be something id wanna think about.
Edit to Eli: Im very sorry about what your father did to you.

well, i'll try to think about it if i were straight and religious. ^^
personally, i'm open to anyone and everything. i try to support people in whatever they do, whatever they act like, whatever they try to be, and whatever they are.
i pity the child of the parents who care more about their reputation than the happiness of their own flesh and blood.

Simple. Even though I am a Catholic, and we are supposed to be against all of this. BS! Accept them for who they are and love them just the same. They are the future and need encouragement to live healthy, successful lives. :]

I would celebrate every day, whether he/she was straight or gay or anything in between. I'd be proud of who he/she is, not how he/she has sex.
But, I haven't got to that point yet.

To be honest, I would be sorry to hear it, but I wouldn't stop loving them/disown them/kick them out of the house/etc.
