What would you do? Would you encourage him and support him if he decided to come out of his closet?
I have a cousin whose child has signs of being gay. She and her husband are having difficulty dealing with it.

I find this difficult to answer because I really wouldn't know how I'd feel if that actually happens because of course as a mother I would want to support him but I would also try to change his mind. This topic actually came up when we were talking with my husband and he said that he would never want our future child to be gay. He would do everything to make him a man. But I have mixed feelings about it because I'm not really against gays. I mean most gays are really happy, cheerful people and talented too. So I don't know yet if I'd encourage or support him.

I would nt be bothered in the slightest if my son or my daughter were gay. What difference does it make to them as a person? The only thing that would worry me is them being judged or discriminated against by others. Picked on/bullied, that kinda thing which I find abhorrent. I dont understand when parents say they would be dissapointed by their children being gay. It does nt make them bad parents or anything!

I agree with you that it doesn't make a difference to them as a person but what I'm really worried about is how people will judge and discriminate them at school. Because people can be harsh and it would break me to see my child suffer. My husband and I may have different views on this, but I know that I will be there for my child, if I can't change his mind then I have nothing to do but support him/her.
