respect your parents is probably the best advice ...

You haven't explained exactly why it's against the Bible. The only reasons I can think of is the person you love is either gay or is already married or committed to someone else. I can understand your parents' feelings if either of those are the case. However, loving a person is not a sin, as long as there is no sex involved. But the fact that your parents are against this relationship tells me you're too young to be in it at all.

If you care about what the Bible *clearly* states and your parents *also* forbid it, you *really* need to examine your heart. Everything stated in the Bible is there for a *very* good reason! Never marry someone with the intention of converting or saving them! That's one of the things meant by the admonition not to be unequally yoked!
Not only should you take to heart what the Bible says, you should also speak with a trusted pastor about this very important issue!
"Heartbreak" can be healed; loss of your salvation is not so easily overcome!
Edit: His having a child is not a big issue; his not being a Christian *is* a very important issue!
Further edit: I note that many answers given to your question have assumed a homosexual "love". This proves that they are not very familiar with what the Bible clearly teaches, so they are apparently not Christians, as are you. I've already received one "thumbs down"; but now I'll probably receive a lot more - bring'em on!

As I've said before and will say again: all love is right, it's hate that you have to worry about.
The Bible is all about love and preaches understanding and tolerance. And I'm sure you're old enough to make your own choices. Respect your parents, but also respect your heart. If you know that your love is not doing anybody harm, then do what feels right, even if it means your parents will be mad at you for a while. If they are religious and they really care about you, they'll come around in time.

i've been through this same situation myself and it didn't work out....but understand that the heart doesn't know who to love and isn't too smart enough to know who to love.... it just love to love! that is why the heart is deceitful above all things, who can understand it? Jeremiah 17:9
the bible also say do not be unequally yoked 2 Corinthians 6:14. if you believe in the bible and he does not, there might just be a problem...
just put this into consideration......wish the best of lucks to ya

What you might do would most likely depend upon your age. If you are a minor, your parents can prevent you from seeing him if that is what they want to do. If you are a minor, they may be more concerned about his being older than you and having a child than they are upset by his nontheism. If you are older than eighteen and independent (supporting yourself), your parents can not actually interfere with your right to be with him even though they may not approve or be hurt by your decision.

If it's real it can wait. If the Bible says something explicitly against it, look at your priorities and make an advised decision. Oh, and don't ask the online community, but a real person with authority in your life.

If he has a child, I would back away from it for now. If you are still young enough to be living with your parents, you need time to finish experiencing your own young adulthood - not taking care of a kid.
It's also possible that he is older (legal age) - in that case, stay away. Your parents could wreck havoc on his and his child's life if they find out and report it to the police. If you are underage and he is not - he could go to jail and/or lose custody of the child. So especially if you care about him, stay away for now.

Love is never against the Bible.
And if you're still in high school, still living at home, and still subject to your parents' rules -- keep your relationship a secret from your parents, and wait until you graduate, then get a job, move out of their house, and live your life however you please.

I don;t believe you can choose to NOT love someobody. If your heart says YES, then love that person, even if your parents do not approve. Do you believe it is wrong? THAT is what I would consider to be relevant....

REDIT:
Okay, simply challenge your parents to tell you exactly where in the bible it says you can't be with someone of a different faith. (It's not in there, it's not against the Bible)
Hint: If they come up with something from the Old Testament, it probably refers specifically to Jews, but I don't think it says anything about that even in there.
