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.

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

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

[Mystic Mock]

Jesus Christ at the murderous bitch.

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

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.

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

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

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

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! )

Chuckles at that!

[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.

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