What do I do if my child comes out as gay?

[@dylankillinkohlstadt9704]

Beautifully beautifully said. Such life and grace. Thanks for this. This brings such hope.

TOTALLY HELPFUL

[@teebee4235]

Im going thru this right now daughter is 24 and im little scared and hurt.

[@deathninja16]

Scared and hurt why? Hurt that she's living her own life? Scared that the world won't accept her? Guess what? This world is more accepting if her and her Choices now than ever before.

[@michaelf.3162]

I don't understand why you are hurt, is it because she didn't feel she could come to you with this when she was younger? If we are truly all made in Gods image, then he made her as she is and there is nothing wrong with that. Who we love shouldn't matter as much as being a good person.

[@mayraalvarez2996]

Thank you. I really needed to hear this. God bless.

[@a18sayavedra]

Please Lord, Please Bring My Children back to the Lord and Give them Christian Loving Friends that accept the Lord as their Lord and Savior! 🙏🏻😇🤍

[@teebee4235]

Helpful thanks

Love and accept her exactly as she is. Because God loves and accepts you exactly as you are, shortcomings and all. Let go of judgment and shame. Don’t waste another minute in disconnection and fear. Just love and accept.

[@coolsaint6044]

Well accepting her for who she is actually doing a disservice to her because this will only lead her to Destruction. The God of the Bible tells us to die to self and serve God.

We can love people without accepting their behavior patterns. Just because I love you does not mean I agree with how you behave. One of the best ways to show someone that you love them is by telling him or her the truth.

[@Gsp989]

To truly love someone is not to lie to them about the reality of sin and sinful identities. A close family member struggled with alcoholism. It would not have been helpful to him if we had just accepted him in his sin. We told him that the drinking was not who he was and that we would help him in any way to overcome this sin. It is a new age lie that we are perfect as we are. God is perfect. We must humble ourselves before Him. We also must access His power to change our thoughts and actions. Repentance is a necessity for everyone.

GOD DOES NOT ACCEPT YOU AS YOU ARE…READ YOUR BIBLE!

What about the trans community and trans identifying teens ?

[@ThankYouJesusTheChrist]

Pray unceasingly to Jesus, and if you can, anoint their pillow with holy oil

[@brentoncarter4275]

looking for an excuse to hate your children huh

[@deathninja16]

Lmao! Ya'll are full of superstitious practices aren't you? It's like the 1700's.​@@ThankYouJesusTheChrist

[@J_LOVES_ME]

Our children are under attack right now. It seems especially teen girls that are becoming gay, trans, non-binary. Is it society and social media and those who feel they don't 'fit' into the popular are looking for another group they may fit better in? We all went through uncomfortable and awkward times as teenagers, but we had to work through it and we got through it. Nowadays though, they just don't seem to have the patience for it. Then you have all of the influences out there, forcing compliance with LGBTQ+ demands, and it is slowly becoming more accepted, even praised, by more and more people and groups. Whatever is going on, our children are being targeted by the enemy at an alarming rate and I just pray for them all.

Ur so out of touch

[@Unknownz2001]

I’m gay and 17. 😂 yall old people are so mad and stuck in the 80s. Sorry babe that was 40 years ago you’re in a new generation 🎀

[@deathninja16]

Get over yourself. If you're not gay, that's fine, it's awesome actually. But if someone else is gay. Leave them the hell alone and focus on yourself. What would Jesus say? He'd tell you to love them the same.

[@deathninja16]

Let them live their lives is what you fucking do.

[@tonymims6483]

When we allow people to "live their lives," it causes damage and ultimately leads to destruction. If you were obese and overweight, I would not allow you to just "live your life". I wouldn't encourage you to keep eating poorly or overeating, because it's causing you damage.

[@binghamguevara6814]

What if they’re f*****g gender-queer- non-binary who want to f**k a man then f**k woman then marry a man, divorce, marry a woman, divorce, marry a non-binary person (who identifies as neither man or woman; whatever the f***k that means) then ally with polyamorous thruple you selfish, vile, species-dividing, marriage-destroying militant, state-protected queer!

DON'T USE THAT LANGUAGE!

[@michaellemmen]

why are you so angry?

[@worshiphim3823]

Thank you for those words of wisdom. I pray that me and other parents that are witnesses of their child being away from the Lord, take refuge in the Lord and know that there are others praying and waiting for the Lord to move.
