i would be sad that my child had this fear that he or she needed to HIDE the fact they were gay... i'm be glad though that my child was able to figure out his or her way and find someone who they LOVE and who loves them back.. i would be 100% supportive... heck*L* i helped a friend come outta the closet!!  |

I'm not gay, but (if I had kids lol) I wouldn't care, I'd see that person as someone who loves (or BETTER love lol) my son/daughter and so I would still love my kid as much and treat their bf/gf as I would any hetrosexual partner.  |

I'd agree to meet them and I dont' think it would change my relationship with my child. There's nothing that could make me turn my back on my child.  |

I dont think i would do anything, i would most likely ask, how long have u been seeing this person? Whats their name? When can i meet them? I wouldnt mind my kids being gay or lesbian...in a way i would feel bad cause i know that they are going to have a harder life, but if thats what they want and choose to do then i support them 100%.   |

Wouldn't be a problem, my kids know I love them unconditionally. I can't fathom why anyone would or could not love their own regardless. My feelings would never change, they aren't measured by whom they choose as a partner, or a certain lifestyle. They are still my own and would always be. Regardless.  |

I must admit I am amazed and happy to hear other people would be supportive. I watch these hate crimes and family dramas on TV about Gay kids. It makes me mad. They are very much people with hearts and souls to. Thanks for the replies!  |

I would give my total support to my daughter if she told me she were lesbian. A parent's love for their child should know no boundaries.  |

Of course I would support my child, I would never stop loving them, their choice is between them and God as far as I'm concerned. I mean my kids do know what the bible says about so many issues, BUT if they choose to ignore it, whom am I to judge them? Its out of my hands. But I gave birth to them and would love them unconditonally until the day I died.  |

I would be completely accepting of it, but it would be a little sad and hurt that they felt they couldn't tell me before, and if I stay with my current boyfriend like we've been talking about, it would be very sad if they felt they couldn't tell us because we are both very open about the fact that we accept anyone no matter what.  |

I would be really proud of them for being able to accept that, and i would tell them to bring them on over! i'd love to meet whoever my son/daughter was dating. =) i'd be surprised that they didn't tell me earlier, probably 'cause i'd try to let them know early on that i will love them and support them whatever they may be. but that's if i ever have kids.. i might not.. who knows... oh and i don't believe in the bible, so that doesn't affect me at all.  |

I would be upset because they didn't tell me sooner, but I wouldn't love them any less. I would accept them for who they are and support them 100%.  |

I'd ask them to spill all the details about their new boyfriend/girlfriend!! What's they're name? What are they like? Then I'd say that I'd like to meet them as soon as possible!   |

And I'd be very supportive, as well. Gay people are still not fully socially acceptable and my son/daughter would need alot of support! |

Honestly, I would feel very uncomfortable at first and, yes, a little disappointed. I would definitely still love them and would want to meet the person they are dating to see if they are good enough for them just like I would do if they were heterosexual. I would not be supportive of it and encourage it, but I would let them know that I loved them regardless. Like FB said, it is between them and God.  |

I would probably give them a hug and say "Thanks for trusting me enough to come out to me"  |

I'd say "That's great dear!" then after about six or seven seconds I'd ask "when did I ever have children?"  |

I have rellies who are gay, it's their choice and doesn't bother me one little bit, doesn't alter the fact that I love them and always will..  |
