QOTD: What would you do if you ending up having a child who wasn't heterosexual?

PanasonicYouth: 08/28/2009 10:35 AM

Suggested by Ikkyg.

I expanded Ikkyg's original suggestion to include any possible orientation a person might have. We've discussed child-rearing before, but I thought that we'd discuss this specific possibility.

Now, this is not to suggest that there's anything less difficult than raising a heterosexual child, as this is always going to be a different situation for every person. What would you do if your child came out to you as gay? Bisexual? Transgender? Asexual?

Should a parent support their child's sexual orientation/gender identity? How far should they go?

	Rhianna Resolution: 08/28/2009 11:31 AM I would love and support them. I would teach any child growing up, though, to accept people no matter what they look like, or who they love, etc. so that they wouldn't have to feel bad about themselves because I can only assume that would be hella hard growing up.

	misguidedghost...: 08/28/2009 12:29 PM I honestly don't get why people freak out when they run into a gay person. I also hate when people use religion as an excuse [opinion pplz]. I dont see anything wrong in being gay. If my child told me he/she was gay, I would definitely support them.
	Andi.: 08/28/2009 12:38 PM My friend wants a gay child. We're going to get married and adopt gay children one day. In all seriousness, however, if I had a child that was gay, it would not change how I think of them, and I'd be there for them no matter what.
	Alex ☮: 08/28/2009 1:16 PM If i had a son who was gay, i wouldnt mind, i really wouldnt, i dont mean to stereotype but from all the gay people i know, what ever age they are, theyre alot nicer. and happier. If i had a daughter who was gay, i wouldnt mind that either, plus!, it would mean guys couldnt mess her about and break her heart, and she wouldnt get knocked up accidently at a young age. If i had a child who wanted to be the opposite sex, i'd let them act the way they feel comfortable. but i wouldnt let them get surgury untill they were atleast 25.
