17 people asked about how they would feel if their child was gay!

[Will.]

Seventeen men and women from 11 countries were interviewed on video

They were asked how they would react if their child turned out to be gay

Majority of respondents - 13 - said they would happily support offspring

Others said they would feel 'upset' because homosexuality 'isn't natural'

One woman from Azerbaijan said she would take her son to the doctor's

And a female from United Arab Emirates even said she would 'kill' child

She says she would kill her children..

Then people like that can have babies and some people who really deserve to have babies cant.

[Kizzy]

It's a culture clash, not every culture has our values that's a given.

[Mystic Mock]

Jesus Christ at the murderous bitch.

Good point but killing your children (specially for something very small) is very unnatural as a human being

[Will.]

I found the woman saying she would take her son to doctors weird.

[Denver]

Azerbaijan and UAE are Muslim countries you cant expect them to be happy.

[Crimson Dynamo]

silly question to ask a parent

[Kizzy]

Azerbaijan and UAE are Muslim countries you cant expect them to be happy.

Are Muslims unhappy?

[Denver]

Are Muslims unhappy?

No its just its not really accepted within the religion

[Mystic Mock]

Are Muslims unhappy?

He meant unhappy with the child being gay.

[Liam-]

Shock horror, people of other backgrounds don't see things the same way we do

[Kizzy]

He meant unhappy with the child being gay.

Ah right, well until not long ago you could go to prison for being gay here, so we haven't been this enlightened civilisation that long.

I think a lot of parents who say they wouldn't accept it, or would be unhappy about it, would probably change their minds if it actually happened. From my own personal experience, my mum would have been one of the ones saying she would be unhappy about it (before I came out), but after I came out she's the biggest fag hag ever lol. She's still trying to get me to take her to a gay bar (and I still continue to refuse! :nono:)

So you could go to prison for being in a gay mood?

[Northern Monkey]

I don't think most parents would actually be happy about it but would certainly accept it because they love their child.

[arista]

"And a female from United Arab Emirates even said she would 'kill' child"

Yes Typical

[Ashley.]

Whether straight or gay, as long as the person they choose to be with is nice and respectful then I'd be happy either way.

[MB.]

Thank god that woman from the UAE's finally saying what we're all thinking

[Livia]

Women in Saudi aren't allowed to drive a car, they're second class citizens. Unsurprising to see they'd be unhappy about having a gay child.

[Samm]

I don't care if it's there 'culture' they should accept it or it'll never change the stupid bitch who said she'll kill her child, doesn't deserve to have any children if she would openly kill a child.

I wish the Russian lady spoke for all of Russia but sadly she doesn't :(

[Ashley.]

The family dog makes me unhappy sometimes but I don't murder him! D:

[kirklancaster]

Some Arab women are probably aware that gay sons will be competition for Arab men's lust once they grow up. :hehe:

[kirklancaster]

:clap1::clap1::clap1:

[Z]

Might tell my mum she's got something in common with women in the Middle East, might make her tone down her Daily Mail rants..........

[Firewire]

The woman who says she'll kill her child is clearly only saying that because she knows her gay child will have a better fashion sense than she does. Insufferable cow.

Is it though LT ?

It is of no matter if you have unconditional love , you love them because of who they are not who they choose to sleep with surely ? :conf::conf:

Chuckles at that! :joker:

Not that I'm one to be awkward but I don't even like the terminology of "support"... It suggests that there's a problem or something wrong.

I would simply think nothing of it. It would be a non-event. If one of my daughters bring home a girlfriend I'll think of it no differently to if they bring home a boyfriend. If they bring home a girl and then a few months later a boy, or vice versa, it's all pretty much irrelevant to me to be honest. As Ashley said above, so long as they're bringing home individuals who are good to them, and good for them, that's all that matters.

I expect they'll know this though. Probably unsurprisingly, we have a pretty much hyper-liberal set up and always will have. So long as my girls are safe and enjoying life, they can do whatever they want to do.

Not ALL Alex, but some are. But it IS getting better.

In the early 80's when I was in my 'prime', I worked as a 'bouncer' as did one of my mates at the time.

Me, my live-in girlfriend at the time and him and his wife used to go to Gay Clubs to enjoy our nights off - no trouble-causing dickheads, no over amorous drunken idiots hitting on our women trying to 'paw at them' in front of us - just pure hedonistic pleasure and good fun with gay friends.

In the early 80's we had all attended a CHE (Campaign for Homosexual Equality) meeting and joined the London (Gay) Pride March which had been re-routed to Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, that year in support of Huddersfield Gays AND a little but brilliant club in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire called the 'Gemini' which were BOTH being picked on by the local police who were opposing the renewal of the nighclub licence.

The cops were defeated and the club lived on, and we packed that club to the rafters celebrating.

Unfortunately, the media attention at the time alerted some local homophobic dickheads who - unbeknown to those of us still whooping it up inside - lay in wait outside the club in the wee small hours jeering and even beating up some of the patrons as they were leaving.

I was a night-raker then -- always the last to leave anywhere - and our 'mixed' little party of about eight were among the last to leave the club and as we made our way to our cars we were confronted by about ten of these idiots.

I will not go into details but suffice it to say we KICKED the CRAP out of them. Left them really badly beat up.

It was THE very first time I had ever seen a 'butch' lesbian friend of ours fight like a man. She was a revelation:laugh:

I do not think things are as bad now with 'homophobic' cretins Alex.
