    I'd say 'You're kidding! Me too!', and divorce his mom.

    As I have no children, this is purely hypothetical but I would be a little sad inside at losing the opportunity to have grandchildren.

    Maybe I would send him to an all-boys boarding school with a suitcase full of condoms so he could have some fun.

    If he's gay, he's gay.

    What could I do even if I did want to change his mind?

    I'd be taken aback at first but it wouldn't change my feelings for him.

    I would be shocked I'm sure, I would feel pain in my heart for the ridicule and judgements he would endure from those who are less than understanding, I would feel a sense of loss at the potential grandchildren I had envisioned in the future, but it wouldn't change my love for him, I know that much. That's my child, my flesh and blood. What matters most to me is that they're happy, and whoever they're with treats them well.

    wonder where the fuck i got a son from first off, let alone one old enough to recognize his sexuality
    then ensure he knows about safe sex, being smart with relationships, etc. consult a couple of my gay male friends for any other info they may suggest, so on and so forth

    Ask him why.

    I honestly don't think I could ever look at him the same... it would be a kick in the nuts most definitely.

    Not gonna tell him to get help/lock himself away/change his mind... but I can't see something like that not bothering me... especially if I didn't see it coming.

    I can't imagine loving a child of mine any less if they were attracted to the same sex, whether it was a son or my daughter. You can't help who you love and no one should ever pretend to be someone they're not for fear of ridicule....so yeah he would still be my son and my child who I always love unconditionally.

    i'd just say "okay, cool." when i was 12 and thought i was bisexual, i told my mom that and thats pretty much exactly what she said.

    my kid's sexuality wouldn't matter to me one bit.

    I would not care, I would actually be happy that he would be comfortable enough with our relationship to tell me something like that

    my response would be something along the lines of "back the gay train up buddy! before we get into this, i need to know who the hell your mom is!"

    I probably wouldn't even react.

    I don't care who or what he sleeps with.

    But one rule:

    No showtunes in my house!

    aw fuck pavel, no showtunes?
    i don't think our marriage will work.....
    and there will be no sex without a marriage!
    i'm sad now


    for me, if my son told me he was gay...depending on what kind of gay...i'd take him to the department store to buy him all the best kinds of make-up, cause no gay son of mine is leaving my house without being properly dolled up

    Depends entirely upon how old he was.

    Well I wouldn't really give a fuck.. I didn't carry him for 9 months :D If you bake a cake and it burns, you can always bake another!

    I would still talk to him occasionally and give him $10 a month. I'm an asshole but I'm not a fucking asshole :)

    Man... I lived with a gay guy who loved his show tunes, and he always insisted to sing them outloud in his monotone voice. I'll fuck a bitch up if I ever hear anything out of Jesus Christ Superstar or Rent ever again.
