Okay, I want to start off thanking my "Opinion Minions" for your feedback on my current forums I really love your comments. Okay your man this time coming with a different flavor of tea. This on for all the good parents in this cyber world rather you a single parent or traditional married parents or gay or bi lesbian parents this is for yaw. Okay, you a proud parent of a beautiful daughter or handsome studded son and they're at that age that they want to date explore there love life even to a relationship. Okay the question is" what would you do if your son or daughter came home one day & say " mom , dad, I want you to meet the person makes me happy". " Well, that person name would be Sam or Tracy( something unisexed ) to throw you off. "Sam or Tracy" is within the same sex. We all know somebody going thru this or maybe yourself. Now, what would you do would you accept your child's choice & support her/his happiness of disapproved & disowned? Me, I guess I would even though I'm from a Christian household where it been considered a taboo but my kids happiness would be more important to me than how me & my Siblings was taught. Ahhh, I hit you with a deep flavor of my tea so tell all, don't hold back. I be waiting!

Actually I have a son and a daughter... regardless what they told me I would never turn my back on them.. It may take a bit of adjustment but I would accept them for who they are and love them the same...

I love and will always love my children, so disowning is out of the question.

I love God as well so approving of it is also out of the question

I refuse to define my child by societys standard, they are complex beautiful humans, much more than just a 'sexual lifestyle or preference'

I am not planning a romance with them so their choices are their own but I ask only that if they are interested in an 'alternative' type of life, that they refrain from those activities around me.

I would accept them and learn more about their culture so I could help them with any issues..since they are still considered 2nd class citizens by many.

I totally agree with you too. I have 2 sons my oldest is dating age and my youngest not yet. I love them so much I don't think I would never disown or disapprove either. like I was mentioning in my post that I'm from a house hold where we went to church every Sunday. place in time where the Christian bible speaks disapproval of same sex anything. but I'm heterol that's bit of a pre Madonna but that's me. but I do have friends that go same sex and there happy. I agree with you I would support my kids too if that's was my plight. thanks for the feedback you're one of my remembering opinion minion...much love !

to " TexGal" you totally right you a good mom too. silver star for you.....I love you too....you tell it like it is!

Appreciate that.....both of my kids know, I've never had a problem telling them like it is.. They never know what I'm going to say... But I always tell them what I think... And they both know I'm always here for them.

I not only grew up in the typical household you mentioned. One of my Uncles was a Baptist Preacher.. It just go happens one of my cousins his oldest daughter came out that she was gay back in the late 70's and moved in with her girlfriend. It was totally frowned on then... Even though he did not agree with her life style he never turned his back on her...nor did any of the family..

It did not matter to me, some of my friends were gay. As long as they respected that I was straight all is good..

I think good parents don't get enough credit or praise. good job mom. we need more like you on earth....
