To Accept Your Child is Gay

I'm A Proud Mom

My daughter was about 11 yrs old when I realized she was different. I never asked her about it, I just knew. It was an unspoken topic between us, but I think she always knew that I knew, understood, and would always be there for her. If you realize your child gay or even think it, Don't Panic, and Don't Confront them. first give yourself a chance to get used to it yourself.

Instructions

Step1

realize that being gay is not an illness. Gay is the gene a person is born with. Just like genes determine the color of your eyes and hair, or whether you are tall or short, genes also determine your sexual orientation.

Step2

Be there for your child. Even if you don't discuss the fact that your child is gay right away, let your child know through your actions and responses to other gays that you are accepting of it. A derogatory remark or even an awkward or condescending glance at another gay can cause your child to hold everything in for fear of your disapproval.

Step3

When your child does open up to you, hug them, support them and let them know that what is important to you, is that they have a happy fulfilling life. Isn't that what everyone wants for their child.

Step4

when your child finally finds a life partner, and they love and respect each other. Love that partner and welcome them into the family.

Step5

I am a Christian, and I know what the bible says about gay, but it also says the sins of the father are visited upon the sons. I believe that during the times of the Old and New Testaments, that gay was a sin. I believe that gay children now are products of that sin, just like children of alcoholics, are more prone to alcoholism. I don't believe God wants all these generations of our children to suffer, and live loveless, unhappy and unfulfilled lives because of what their ancestors did.
