Would you be dissapointed if you found out your son/ daughter was gay?

[QUOTE="warbmxjohn"][QUOTE="Theokhoth"]

Our conversation would be something like this: "How could you do this to us?! Do you have any idea what this'll mean for you? Your other father will hear of this. :x"

Theokhoth

Or the best of them all: "Who the hell are you?"

Because, you see, I don't plan on having children. Ever. :|

Hahaha. And then one day you see a kid on the street and you're like: " Hey! You look familiar!:P"

Not acknowledging an adopted child in favor of some Darwinistic naturalism is quite sick.

It's your kid in every conceivable sense of the word except the naturalistic sense. Basing whether or not you should accept a kid on genetics is an incredibly shallow view.

If I had only one child I would be because I want grandchildren

Not trying to be rude or anything, but isn't that a bit selfish? I wouldn't mind if my son/daughter was gay If that's the choice they want to make, then me, being the parent should be able to respect that.

No, it isn't human nature. Human nature is caring regardless. Humans have gone far beyond Darwinistic standards of what is good and okay; by your reasoning, racism is fine, genocide is fine, experimentation on humans is fine, so long as it's all about the right genetics. Humans (and human nature) are beyond that.

You can want your own children, but if you shun adopted children based on something as irrelevant as genetics, then it is shallow and morally reprehensible. Natural =/= right.

As long if he/she was happy with her/hos decision,i would be happy for her/him!

Look at all of these nice and wonderful posts saying "no I wouldn't be dissapointed, he/she is my kid after all!" I guess I can see that point of view, well since I haven't seen any post yet that said the oppisite let me be the first! I would be friggin pissed. Hmm other then that, I would accept she/he though they are my kids right? Though I would send them to lots of theraphy though, either that or they get cut from the trust fund more for the "other" kids I guess... :)

Ouch.

at first but id still love the heck outta him/herpygmahia5

Same here. i think.. i guess i wouldnt actually know unless it did happen to me.. Sheesh i hope not.

i dont think my heart could handle my son bringing home a guyHoldThePhone

Are you kidding me? I would love to hear my daughter is a lesbian. What father wants to deal with chasing guys out of the house, unwanted teen pregnancy, and all the other crap that comes along with raising a teen age girl. Her dating only girls would be a relief.bt_the_great_78

LMAO! this man makes a good case for wanting a gay daughter.

umm... Why would you do that?

No I would support him and/or her fully.

[QUOTE="DrSponge"]I wish I never came in these type of threads. I just get disgusted at the majority of the posters. ElGreco88

Because they have a different opinion? I only get disgusted when ppl are narrow-minded and get rude at other ppl's beliefs. If their manners are proper and try to express their opinion in a nice way then I don't care if they agree with me or not. I can't MAKE everybody agree with what I'm saying. Noone can...

[QUOTE="clembo1990"][QUOTE="yoyo462001"]I would be very dissapointed in them as i feel Gay is a choice/lifestyle and believe its wrong.yoyo462001

[QUOTE="yoyo462001"][QUOTE="clembo1990"] evidence that proves homosexuality is a lifestyle choice? Or do you like just being ignorant?Tazzmission187

It's simple. They don't choose.

I am gay so that's a huge no from me.

You'd be a pretty lousy parent if you let an insignificant thing like sexual preference disappoint you

[QUOTE="Tazzmission187"][QUOTE="yoyo462001"]ignorant in what? i dont believe anyone is born with the mindset of being attracted to the same sex, God didnt make us this way. as Homosexulaity has become more accepted you see more people coming out which i presume is a choice on their part. DrSponge

[QUOTE="Tazzmission187"][QUOTE="DrSponge"]DrSponge

Nope. I would happily welcome their boyfriend/girlfriend into my family.

People seem to assume gay people can't have children which is confusing to me? I mean biologically a gay couple can't, but there's such a thing as adoption, as well as other methods. Just because you're children are gay doesn't mean you won't have grandchildren, so stop using that as an excuse.

Cactus_Matt

I have nothing against gay people but tell the truth. If you had gay parents, do you not think that people would make fun of you for it. I don't think it's fair on the child of a gay couple if they have to get made fun of.

Then we should teach people through education to not make fun of such things, not eradicate homosexuality because some people just can't "digest" it. ;)Teenaged

So, because my children might get made fun of in school, (if they even attend public school) I am to forfeit my right/dream of being a mother?

Yeah, not so much.

I'm sure bullying is likely to occur, but I would challenge it every chance I get with the school and the parents of those bullying my child. Plus, by the time I do start a family, hopefully even young kids might be more tolerant of such a thing. Doubt it will be half as bad for my kid(s) going through school than it was for me. Homosexuality is becoming increasingly accepted, even by young people, might not be a big deal at all in a decade or less.

Why is it natural to be disappointed?

And, honestly, on what grounds do you base your claim that people who voted no are lying? I'm heterosexual, and, quite frankly, when and if I do get married, I don't really care what sexual orientation my children are.

Homosexual people can start families as well, might not be blood relation, but that doesn't make someone any less of a grandchild.
