  • That's a tough one but regardless I'd love my son. I know I'm going to offend some people but this is how I feel I'd rather my son be straight to carry on my blood line but my kids sexual preference isn't really my business especially when they're grown as long as they're being smart. Now the thing that I wouldn't have much patience with would be if he was flamboyant about I realize not all homosexuals are flamboyant and if that's their personality then it's something you just have to learn to deal with it but on the same note I have my own personality and I fairly rough and if my son was acting up I'd probably just punch him in the chest or in the arm and tell him knock that shit off or whatever but I'd see me and my son being best buds and I'd probably only have to line him out a handful of times and I'd learn to be more accepting and he'd learn to tame it down a little for dad but if anyone messed with my boy I'd be all over them just like I was with my daughters

  • WOW! so many hateful comments! How could anyone say they would abuse their own flesh and blood because of who they love? Plus, I bet the lions share of them claim to be "pro-life" Protect them before they are born, but beat the shit out of them 14 years latter because of who they love. Oh, and throw them in cages if their brown and dare cross our borders. They'd make Jesus barf. I bet their feeling real persecuted now for being called out for their sins.

  • I'd respond as follows: "I hope you know that your sexual orientation is a part of who you are, and that I love you for being you. I don't care who you're attracted to, or how you'd like to identify, as long as it makes you happy, but I'm very glad that you felt comfortable to share it with me."

    Although, I'd like to think that I'd have a home environment where my children didn't feel like it was ever something that had to be a big deal. That they wouldn't have to 'come out' to me, but that if they noticed one day that most of their friends were talking about girls but they actually kinda liked the way boys looked (or something similar), that they could mention it or chat to me about it, without it having to be an intense discussion - it could just be a chat about things they're learning about themselves, just like they could talk about a hobby they're passionate about.

  • Do what any parent would do and love my son regardless.

  • I'd be very, very shocked... given that I don't have kids.

  • maybe give him harmones shave his legs make him look like a woman... I have no kids it's just a thought.

  • I’d say to not exploit it until he was old enough to move out. He doesn't have to hide that he's gay but he doesn't have to flaunt it under my roof either

  • Fortunately I don't have children. But if I did, and this happened, the only issue I would have is I would want them to fully admit that it was 100% their choice to be gay.

    I had a childhood friend that we all suspected was gay from the way he acted around us, but we were cool with him regardless. Later he came out to my other friend who wasn't surprised and we still accepted it, but he always admitted that it was a choice to prefer guys.

  • Support his journey. There is a lot of things I don’t like about people but that doesn’t stop from me from liking them.
    And I love my sons and daughters so you can guess that what they do doesn’t end my love.

  • I'd be fine with it. I honestly never imagine my future son (s) as being gay, but I have nothing against gay people and he'd be my son for God's sake, there's some unconditional love for you. If he needed anything I'd help him. Support him. Not ask if there are any cute girls in his classes or whatever. You know, be a decent human being/mother and love my son no matter what.

  • if he feels comfortable and happy about it,, I'll be happy too

    • I like ur ass...

    • @NaWaF_98 me too

  • Try my best to support him and to make him to be happy in life

  • I dont have any kids, but I'd like to think i'd love any children I had unconditionally.

    They might make some less-than-ideal choices (murder being one...), but I think i'd still love them.

  • I'd be fine with it.

  • Same as daughter post you made I'd discuss my feelings but his choice, his life, his decision

  • Tell him I love him

  • Probably slap him for making a big deal out of it. Why would i want to know what there sexually they are. If i had a son he could be into anything he wants i couldn't careless, but what i would care about is making it seem like a big deal.
    It's like it's not a big deal if your stright, so why would it be if your gay.

  • I’m fine with that. Long as he’s happy

  • I'd be dissapointed af, but he's still my son and I'd love him regardless. Grandkids were on the agenda if you were wondering

    • He could always adopt or get surrogate.

  • I would be highly uncomfortable as I'm straight, and even though I don't care if a guy is gay. I don't that stuff near me, because to me it's disgusting. Dislike my post all you like but for me, it's not something I would want to, or could accept.

  • I left my answer on the similar question to this

  • Nothing. It's just sexuality.

  • Nothing i can do about it. But i will let him know that i am always there to help and support him

  • Same thing I said if my daughter came out Lez
