How Not To React When Your Child Is Gay

[@ax3lsantana897]

I think they shouldn’t say “I love you no matter what” because that implies there is something wrong with us. They should just say “I love you.” Period.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Esmeralda Santana, we will all make mistakes, don't know one human who hasn't. We want the kids to be able to talk to us, even if they have don't something wrong. Don't need to say it that way all the time, point taken.

[@loturzelrestaurant]

Another Christian channel is just now in the News for saying all the opposite things. Basically "I love you... BUUUUUT:", which is very bad. People already made Reaction-Videos to it. Its sad how Christians embrass themselves again and again with such news. It happens again and again.

[@dawgpost90]

I think it depends on how you choose to look at it. I think that "i love you no matter what" can be very positive. They probably know you are worried they won't love you or they will reject you. I think it can be said in a purely loving way. Everyone is different. Just my opinion though. Peace to you

When my son came out at 16, it took us way back and that’s normal. He was fine and felt good coming out and that’s the best outcome for the child. As a father I took it harder than I’d ever imagined. It’s easier when it’s someone else’s kid and I never understand why it’s so difficult to deal. It’s been a year and still getting used to it and how to communicate. He’s very PC about everything and that’s added another layer all the way around.

I can relate to this because I'm pretty sure my son is and the reality of it is difficult for me. But I'm trying to keep my mouth in check.

[@stevewise1656]

@@Simply_Anthony83 Apparently you're doing the right thing according to experts. The child is supposed to come out when they're ready. By the way, it's still very difficult for me, because he and I have little in common. Yesterday I ran into a friend and his son is gay. He's the first father I've spoken with who understands what's it's like. It was helpful sharing and hearing his feedback. I wish there was a support group for parents, especially now with all these new sexual orientations. I

The whole "where do we go from here?" question is premise on the assumption that we have to do some sort of damage control or make a 'plan' or figure this 'problem' out, when in reality there is no problem, no 'damage' to be controlled and no one needs a 'plan' because nothing is different.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

You are correct that nothing is different. Parents need to love their children no matter what, and even if, as I said before. Yet some parents are stumped; this information was not expected and they need to think about how to move forward with this new revelation. That is all I meant, not that there is a problem or any damage.

What do you mean by "true healing"?

[@rochestas]

@@delfox1009 I mean coming to the realization that there’s nothing wrong with being LGBT+. I’m coming at this from the POV of a parent who’s having trouble accepting that their child is LGBT+… I’m supposing that, from their POV, their journey would feel a lot like healing. In other words: realizing that their kid ISN’T broken.

IMO, 'Destructive Pride' (I love that phrase!) is most destructive when the prideful person is aware that more likely than not, the person being told is working with much, much more information on the topic than the prideful person is. One needs to bear in mind the (presumed) intended audience for this vid. This vid is for a parents who live in a very homogenous environment in which (as far as they're aware) everybody is straight and probably looks like them as well. They've never had any reason to learn how to interact with people who are from walks of life that have little overlap with theirs. Any kind of difference is a shock. They probably have little factual information about anything 'gay' and think that because THEY have acquired new information about their kid, that means the kid has changed, when in reality there has been no change in the kid. Many otherwise rational adults react very negatively at even the idea of change. This video seems to me to be designed to keep parents from freaking out, assuring them the world is not ending, and keeping their mind open to accept new information.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

AK 565, yes, the person who influenced the video was just as you described.

[@cookieconkle]

I am a pansexual girl, I believe that no matter what, you should never say "it was your choice" or "god is disappointed" or something like that, it might be hard to except your child for who they are. If you don't except your child if they were gay, then you aren't ready for a kid.

I don't have a problem with my child being gay as long as it's sincere and not because she is being influenced. Unfortunately, when my 10 year old came home from school yesterday and said she thinks she is lesbian and that her friend is gay and that they have been talking about it at school, I can't help but feel that she is being indoctrinated nad pressured by the school and her friends.

@@LiveOnPurposeTV to say "parents telling their children this lifestyle is wrong can cause them to commit suicide" is not true. It is the sin of homosexuality that leads to their suicide. Sin leads to death. Parents are supposed to correct their children. I don't want parents to walk away feeling like they are not supposed to condem the behavior. Don't condem the child but do not accept or support this lifestyle period. I promise you, if you do you will have pedophiles among you. Watch over the vulnerable children because these homosexuals are predators. Look at how they are fighting to bring it into schools. Open your eyes.
