I would Be happy for them It does not matter what anyone else thinks. as long as my kid is happy I could care less what his sexual preference is.

I would support my child 100%;I’d be concerned about how everyone else would react to her.If it weren’t for hyprocritical christians out there,we wouldn’t be so concerned with this subject.

For me this is not a touchie subject. I myself faced this situation with my family. I was 14 when all of these mixed up emotions started. I kept to myself for the longest time. It wasnt untill I met the women who chnged alot for me and made me relized it ws natural. I personaly think that all the politics and christians stuff blows this way out of context. I have been studing the hystory of gays lesbians and Bisexuality for some time now and you would not believe how far this goes back in time. Its been a part of the human race for 100s or more years.
I told my mom over the phone all she said was if I am happy then she is fine with what ever choice I make. Now my dad had a hard time of it for a while but he found that I was a son he didnt have and we have a ball with pointing out women to one another. My husband loves the fact I am bi but his family well There 100% christians and say I will burn in hell. So what I dont have to answer to any one but God on judgment day. So if you teen comes to you and says I have somethong to tell you will you listen and hear me out first before you say anything. Listen to what he or she has to say and be honest to them about your feeling of the subject regaurdless of how you feel if there happy let them be happy if its a fase they will out grow it if its not well there still your child and you love them Unconditional. Its a combination of things that all play a roll in a teen emotions I know I have been through this and still go through it to this day. Keep an open mind and try to understand. No I would not send them to camp or through a big party I would just be there for them to help them if you want to know more about what I personaly went through please contact me either by e-mal or msger I will be glad to help.

Just on a personal preference because of the accepting way i have been brought up i would welcome my childs sexuality no matter if they were gay or straight. It does not change them as a person, and they have absolutely no say in there sexual oritentation so why should they be made to suffer.
Anyone who would send there child to a ‘fix me now’ camp needs to take a real good look at there own life, because surely you can not really love your child if you can not accept them for who they are.

Unless you are a parent of a child “coming out”, it is very easy for someone to say they would always accept their child. Believe me I was one of those parents, until it actually happened to me. It is very difficult. All of the hopes and dreams you had for this child are now changed and you need to make new ones. Whether this sound selfish or not it is what I went through, could not stop crying for days and days. But I learned something I always knew it is more important for me to have people know the kind of person that my son is and not what he is. He is still the same person that I have admired his whole entire life and still my hero. I will never turn my back on him and never disown him. I was very angry at my own reactions at the time and had to forgive myself. Everyone thinks they know how they will react they will not until they are put into that situation.
