How would you react if your son told you that he was gay?
I realize that most of the posters in this forum are young, and probably will never procreate. But hypothetically, if you had a son and on his 18 birthday he told you that he was gay, how would you react internally? I am more asking how you would feel, not what you would say to your son. Would you feel disappointed, confused, indifferent?

I would be bothered. I would also hope that I was understanding.

I would like to think that I would have guessed/known by that point, but I genuinely think it would be a non-issue.

I'd be cool. Everyone needs to be happy in life and if that is what is going to make him happy, he'd have my full support. I guess this just adds to me being more gay. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: How would you react if your son told you that he was gay?
Well, the fact that he is gay wouldn't necessarily bring my genetic line to an end. In all seriousness, my genetic line is pervaded with severe mental disorders and a plethora of cancers, plus I have multiple brothers, so I don't think this would factor in much. Even if it did, I would like to think that I would approach this as his life, rather than my genetic vanity. I'm sure there would be tepid resentment somewhere within me, but I honestly don't think it would be that big a deal.

Indifferent. Shame it reduces the chances of having biological grandchildren. Shame my boy might get discriminated against. But happy that he has "come out" which probably would mean the end to a period of mental anguish.
