Mya and Her Moms: Laura's Coming Out Story

[Cafe Amanda]

For some parents, finding out that a child is gay can be a devastating blow. When Laura came out to her mom as a teenager, the reaction was not at all what she expected - and she got another surprise when she told her grandmother she was a lesbian.

How would you react if your child told you he or she was gay?

I would love and accept my child.

  I would love and support any of my children, neices or nephews. But I would be sad knowing that not everyone in the family or the world would. Knowing that they might have or want to move to state that allows marriage and adoption (state I live in does not allow) and not be close by would hurt.

I think that having the courage To come out as being gay is a beautiful thing. People are who they are, and I don't care what anybody says, people are born gay, and it's just as natural to some as it is for others to be straight. Being comfortable with who you are no matter what your sexual orientation is and being able to say "hey this is me" is amazing! I would fully support my child if he told me he was gay, and it would not change the way I looked at him in the slightest, because I love my child for who he is, exactly the way he is, whether he grows up to be gay, straight, bi sexual, a sexual, I don't care! It's his right as a human being to be who he is. As long as my kids grow up to find somebody who loves them and treats them well, I don't care what gender they are!!

There are many things i find unacceptable, but punishing someone for who they love? Is silly i was raised by a lesbian mother and gay brother l, who just recently gave me away at my wedding:) i love them fully and my child would be loved the same

How would I react? I wouldn't. They're still the same person, and I love them  no matter what they do in life. My son will always be my son.

Because I know how much added bullshit they'd have to put up with. The looks. The stare. The hate. Not having the same rights as their peers. The depression from feeling isolated (I haven't experienced it but many do). The discrimination with jobs, with friends, with everything.

Why?

I would be sad if any of my girls were lesbians, but of course I would support them.
