Have your son admit that he's gay or your daughter tell you that she liked to "do it," with girls? Discuss...

as long as neither of them was "doing it" with Meade Skelton and he calls them "Nicole" I would be ok with it.
Fairfaxunderground rules: Lilliputions, not ok. Midgettville ok. I got it now.

Hmmm doing it with Meade is 6 of one 1/2 dozen of the other from the OP's original question.

Either way, I'd still love my son or daughter. But in all honesty, I'd rather have lesbians around my house than gay dudes.

Not necessarily. My son is gay and he could not be more of a stereotypical jock. He wouldn't be caught dead cooking or shopping. I used to have the same stereotype you (and most people) do, but I've since learned that they come in all kinds.

I have straight sons and a gay son. At first, when he came out (never showing it to him), I was torn up about it. How could I have not known? How in the world did I miss it? He doesn't act like most think of a gay guy, but was still worried of how he'd be treated. I watched how his brothers immediately accepted his coming out and how they have never once treated him any differently than they ever have. He said that he was worried that we wouldn't love him anymore and THAT is what got me. He thought that I/we may not love him anymore? All of a sudden after telling us, like turning a switch, we would no longer love him? He'd be all alone? It wrenched my heart thinking of how he must have always worried/felt his entire life and we didn't even know it. Who am I to say who someone should care about or love? I certainly wouldn't want anyone telling me who I could care about or love. And, I did a lot of thinking of how I would feel if all of a sudden my family no longer cared about or loved me. He's been in a relationship now for yeeears. He's one of the kindest people you will ever meet, very successful, responsible and happy. We, his family and friends, don't even think about it anymore.
Sooo, to answer your question ... as a parent, I have always hoped that along with everything else that I tried to instill in my children, that I gained their trust and that if need be, they could always come to me about "anything". Whether boy or girl.

What about if your son was gay and then announced that he wanted to join the WNC?
As a father, that would tear me up.

I would have no choice but to accept either situation, so I would have no preference.

This...parents should love and accept their children regardless of who they prefer to get their bang on with.

How would I feel? I HOPE my daughter goes lesbo! A colleauge of mine said it best. With a son, you only have to worry about 1 dick. With a daughter, you have to worry about all of them!

Beautifully written. My child felt the same way. He was convinced that we wouldn't love him anymore, and that his friends would hate him for being gay. He couldn't have been more wrong. It took me a while to accept it emotionally, but we were always supportive. His close friends didn't care - in fact, it turned out that one of them was also gay.
His self-hatred led to a spiral of depression and alcohol abuse. With help, he is now in a very good place, for while we are eternally grateful.
I have seem this repeatedly with other gay young men. They hate themselves because they assume that their parents and friends would hate them if they knew. The sad reality is that many times this is true. I've seen kids kicked out of the house because their parents (usually fathers) couldn't handle a gay child.
I know this is not the place to expect sensitivity, but if you are a parent or friend please know that your reaction to someone's preference could mean the difference between life and death.
