What would you do if your son/daughter tells you she/he's gay/lesbian?

This is the moment when you are put to a test about pronouncements on unconditional love.
Your son or daughter coming to you would have earlier agonized about this predicament, and has finally mustered the courage to tell you. The truth is that it is more difficult for them. In their young minds, they have resolved to tell you - - - and are prepared to accept the consequences, whether you continue to love them or not.
If I am the parent, I would hug my son or daughter. I know that more than before, I need to be more loving, more accepting, and more supportive.

I would continue to love my daughter no matter what.
My love for any of my kids would be as the love of CHRIST.
I will not lose my love for my child.
My open arms would be the shelter and refuge from a cruel world.
I do not have anything against gay people any way.
I really don't understand the gay epidemic. I am thinking its some kind of improper mix of hormones and if that is the case behind it, we should not look down on upon gay people at all. Its not their fault.

There are a lot of Filipinos (> 200) in my small town (10,000) in Canada.
The second post said: <<< that's what we call unconditional love and we filipinos are quite good at this. >>>.
Indeed I believe that the Filipinos are family oriented, hard worker and I think that they are really open-minded.
Of course, as Canadian, I think that it is cool when somebody choose to live his/her own natural needs. My kids would be welcome even if gay. Now! What is the next question? Should I disapprove if they refuse to be a doctor? That isn't my business.

Accept it and build your relationship to include their loved one, if they have a "Partner".
They were your son/daughter 2 seconds before they told you and you loved them. So, what is the difference 2 seconds later?.
Educate yourself on issues and you will learn it is not a choice. It is how they are born.

another gay friend or mine, hes mom cant accept him, so he found some friends to comfort him ( not me) and then those friends he knew were into drugs, and then now he taking drugs because it is way of comforting himself, but now he has changed, glad i did manage to control him with my advices to not take drugs anymore. he is now my roommate as well.

Love them...
I have read some of the answers here like kick them out and sent to church or its just a phase, you guys are so wrong. Sending them to church and hope for them to change? They might end up having sex with the priest/ close their hearts from people they love. And it is not a phase people are just born the way they are.

I'd tell him I support his decision 100% and thank him for trusting me with this. I wouldn't treat him any different than I did before.

I don't have a son, but have a nephew and niece living with us that we are supporting through college. Although they are not my biological kids, I treat them the same as if they were my son/daughter.
What would I do ? Reluctantly accept it and hope it was a passing phase.

just accept it. being gay is a discovery, not a decision
