So you are the parent of a gay kid

toexpress

Right your son/daughter comes home and shares the news. .... I'm gay

How do you react?

I'd be more concerned with the fact that my son/daughter called me "dear."

Sexuality aside. I'd be concerned about that too

Wait a minute, I don't have kids.

Fucked if they're both though

If they ever call me dear being queer will be the least of their worries.

Send him to the parish priest to confirm it

Tell them that you love them but explain to them that they dont really need to get married and give them the Unicycle analogy.

"Really? Me too!"

Ring The DUP and ask for the number of the organisation that can cure "the Ghey".

Wish you the best - wondering how did my son or daughter find out that you're queer though ?

It would have to emigrate.

I'd ask top or bottom.

No son of mine is being the bottom bitch

Told her that we already knew, gave her a big hug and told her we loved her. 5 years on and we have a grandchild we never ever thought we would have .

Ah, but what if they were a power bottom instead? That ok?

A bottom that calls the shots and takes control. You could also be a submissive top that takes orders.

I wouldn't see it as a big deal what so ever.

Ah one of the last prejudices that hasn't come under the PC bible yet.

Yeah, but you can pretty much get the same thing with straight people with the women taking control. It's just that we're very organised and like labels

Double bluff?

Madam_X

Probably a bit worried secretly that they'd get hassle for it from a small few people, but otherwise, wouldn't care and would support them to the last. I think they'd know that anyway though.
I reckon future generations' parents will realise it anyway and it'll just be taken for granted and there won't be a need for a coming-out moment. E.g. my friend's six-year-old boy likes fashion, dancing and tiaras (not that that guarantees his sexuality, bit to go yet).

my parents were great. If I had kids and told me they were straight, I would love them and take him to football and stuff.

She already has, she's still the same person she always was, nothing has changed. She's only 15 so we have a way to go before the possibility of marriage and babies but I am confident that she will get to experience those if she wants.

The only concerns I have are how the right wing talk about gay marriage being a terrible thing etc etc affect her. It can't be easy to hear that at such a young age and she shouldn't have to be made feel bad for something she can't control.

We still love her anyway, she's always going to be my amazing girl, now she's just my brave amazing girl xx

Depends, if they were one if those overly gays.... A male being very feminine. I'd disown them.

Once they don't kiss, hold hands or be overly gay... It wouldn't be too bad.

I'd still find it very hard to swallow though. (Pun not intended)

Am I supposed to say exactly what most people want to hear? Oh yeah I'd accept them etc... I'm just answering the OPs question using my own perspective.

Disowning a kid for being gay is a bit drastic no?

billybudd

WTF can you do? is the question.

I would be concerned for selfish reasons but my love and support would not waiver or weaken.

Your perspective is wrong and offensive.

I have often asked myself that question... and quite frankly I would disown the child. No homosexual child shall grow up in my house.

So is yours, you cant demand people feel a certain way. Understanding a problem and going from there is a better way i feel.

Well tech that is not true as when they tell you they will be most likely an adult and will have already grown up in your house and with your influences.

Why do I have to answer to a random person on the internet?

All that will happen is I'll be branded a troll/biggot etc... And all the gays will try convince me I'm wrong.

I just could not be arsed to even have an argument about it.
