If my child in the future came out to me, I would be proud. It takes courage to come out to someone, i would accept them fully.

I'm child-free, so it won't happen. However, in an "if" universe, they would have been raised in an open-minded environment. I would hope that I would have raised them to know that they can come out to me when they feel they are ready. I would be sad that they may face prejudice, even though I live in Canada, some people are still stuck in thei......   reply

Tell them the rules have changed from "no boys/girls in your room" to keep the door open otherwise I'll have grandma give you the sex talk *shivers*   reply
