What if your child is gay?
We all say "I just want my child to be happy"
But is that true? The more and more mothers I come across, the more I doubt it.
I got my ass reamed in Target yesterday because I was buying my 4 year old son a Princess dress up outfit. He loves dressing up as anything whether it be a Firefighter or Cinderella. He got a gift card from a family member for Christmas yesterday and I told him he could pick something out and that is what he picked. He carried the dress SO proudly through Target and a mother took it upon herself to ask me why I was not "REFUSING" to buy this for my SON.

First of all, he is 4.
Second, if he was 16 and wanted me to buy him a dress, I would.
Third, if he does turn out to be gay, it sure as Hell will not be because he wore a Cinderella dress when he was 4.

But let's say my son is gay. Fine by me. I honestly could not care less.

I'd be more than okay. I'd be happy. No surprise teen pregnancies to have to worry about.

I do think my daughter is gay (or at least curious). She's almost 18 and the things she says and her interests make me believe that she is, and she doesn't deny it. She said she has kissed a girl and I believe fooled around with her friend.

Whatever dude. Doesnt change who she is, and she's still awesome as smurf.

I Hve preschool boys wear dress up dresses at school all the time. If u make a bi deal about it they're gonna feel ashamed and have weird feelings about it. But f u let it be most boys will work through it.

Sounds like that woman needs to mind her own business!!

I would be proud of my child with being honest for who they were!!

i love gay guys who cares! at least u dont gotta worry about him knockin a girl up at 15

Oh hell no. I'd welcome someone to say that smurf to me & I'd send them on their way with their tail btw their legs. How rude of them to even comment about it. It doesn't matter one way or another, I will be supportive.

I honestly would not care but I know a lot of people who are "pro gay" who say they would be upset if their child turned out to be gay. I don't understand that at all.

I would be secretly hoping he would still have kids somehow....but that's me.. I want grandbabies so hopefully his partner and him would adopt!

I wouldn't care at all. They're still the same person gay or not.

Ahaha you should hear the smurf I get for painting my boys nails, putting lip gloss on them, buying a baby doll, play kitchen, baby buggy, doll bottles. If they wanted a dress no prob.   I'll never see them differently gay or not. They are my kids always.

I'd be fine and want him/her happy. I can't deny I'd be concerned, more because of the intolerance in the world. You never want your kids to be on a path that makes their life more difficult, and being gay would make their life difficult. In that way I'd be "sad," but not at all because of them. It would be because I want the best for them, and I know they'd have a rough time as the world is now. Hopefully before too long the world will be a more tolerant place and that wouldn't need to be a concern anymore.

My son has a babydoll he loves and plays dress up. People who don't like it can kiss my ass.

I have no issues with it, at all. Neither does SO.

im a christian so of course i believe gays go to hell. i have a gay grandmother and friends i love to death but i dont agree with their life style. hopefully god will let them in the gates if heaven but we wont know until judgement day. but no i wouldnt be ok with it but ill still love my son the same
