Gay Children.... (Page 1)

** im only putting one post on this topic because im sure it will get out of control and im not willing to get frustrated trying to get my point across when i am days away from my due date...that being said....


i'd love my child unconditionally because that is what you do as a parent.
my spouse is the same way.

i know that religion can play a big part in the subject. as well as traditonal morals and values.

let's see how it goes

My older brother Nickolas is seventeen years old. He'll be eighteen in September of this year, and he came out as a homosexual (to our parents) two years ago. His Dad and step-mom are not accepting of it at all, and refuse to do things for him because of it. They treat him less of a person, and allow his brothers to call him childish names like,"!**@!" and many profanities.

My mother and step-father are very accepting of Nick's choice in sexual orientation. We have even invited some of his previous boyfriends to eat with us or come with us on family outtings.

The difference in treatment has changed alott after Nick came out to his Dad and step-mom. Where as at our house, the only thing that changed was his girlfriend Ariel became a Boyfriend Joseph.

I think the reason why people are not accepting of Gay people is because they're so scared of their religion that they refuse to have an open mind about how other feel.

Anyhow, the point is;

I, myself, being Bisexual; am very acceptive of Gays, lesbians, Transexuals, and Bisexuals. Because God made us all, and if he ahs such control over everything, he didn't do anything wrong in making us, and therefore he must be acceptive of us too.

It wouldn't make a difference to me. The only issue I can see having is worrying that his or her life is going to be harder. And it will be because we live in a sad place right now.

To me, if you aren't going to accept your child or their lifestyle choices because of your ideals, you don't need to have a child because obviously your beliefs are #1 to you. And it can't be that way when you're a parent.

I don't see why it would matter "especially if it was our son".

I don't plan on marrying a close-minded idiot, so I know my partner wouldn't have a problem with our children coming out as gay.

We would love our child unconditionally as well. The largest population of suicide among teenagers are individuals who are homosexuals due to the lack of support.

We are Christians, so we would really have to be careful that our son doesn't feel like .God doesn't love him and that he doesn't constantly feel slammed in the church. If that happens, we would change churches. Youth who grow up in a church and are homosexual will often go through the stage of "If I just pray hard enough, it will go away." Then they feel guilty when it doesn't. It's just so sad.

So, support is the most essential. Unconditional love and support. I would hope that my son would still believe in God if he is gay and not go away from God just because of other Christians. He may not end up being a Christian, anyways, as it will ultimately be his decision when he feels ready to make that decision.

My family would be very accepting but I don't think my husband's family would be at all. At least he would have some support on my side.

the love between child and parent in unconditional and if a parent turns against their child on the grounds of sexuality then to me that shows exactly what kind of a parent they are

as a parent i will love and support my daughter and son(when he comes lol) no matter what,thats what a parent does.

your always there no matter what.

i love my child unconditionally and that wouldn't change it.

I would be upset but it wouldnt change how much I love him or anything like that.

Because of how he would be treated in our society and by religious groups for it.

I would love my son or daughter just the same. They will always be my baby, I gave birth to them...why should I not love them just because they have a different preference than me?

Obviously would still love them and their life partner when they chose one. It certainly wouldn't be the lifestyle .I would choose for them, because though we have come along way with accepting people who are gay, there is still alot of people out there that are set in their ways and life won't be easy, not that it ever is. Their happiness and the fact that they find pleasure in something would make me happy.


I think when you think your 13 year old is "gay", you should wait that one out, because a lot of teenagers experiment with different things.

Here is where I could get blasted.

I consider myself a pretty strong Christian who is actually a little liberal in my beliefs when it comes to people who are gay.

I have been reading pretty good books on the whole subject matter. A part of me does believes that during 6 weeks gestation, if you are supposed to have a boy, your body floods the embryo with testosterone. Sometimes the embryo doesn't get flooded enough and the brain remains female..or more female than it should be. We are all essentially born as females. I do believe some people who are gay or really biologically the other sex.

That brings me to my dear cousin. He is only two months younger than me. I strongly remember that even as a child, around age 5, that he seemed to be more girly. He would play with dolls and just act like a girl. I really didn't know another boy like him. As we got older, he didn't change. When we were around 10 years old, I still thought of him more like a girl. His voice never quite changed when he was a teenager. During our teenager years, I was just waiting for him to come out. He often seemed depressed and was the sweetest guy in the world. Finally at age 28, he came out!! I was so happy for him and literally started to cry. I just knew in my heart at such a young age. Isn't that strange? His parents are strong catholics and we think they are not really accepting of him anymore. I can't even begin to express the inner turmoil my sweet cousin probably went through his whole life.

I haven't talked with him for a long time. I hope he is doing well and finally feels free. I hope that he isn't as depressed as he once was. He is my favorite cousin and I truly love him!!

I know this had nothing to do with the original question but this just was on my heart.
