A few days ago, there was a debate show on the tv. The subject of the debate? Gays: the rights, the discrimination, suicides, attitudes and suchlike. Naturally, the opposing team consists of religious folk including people from your church and they present arguments they arduously studied before the debate: gays shouldn't be able to marry or have ( Read more... )

I would not be a member of an institution that believed this, but if I was then I would allow my child to make their own decision that they believed strongly about.

Bonus: I would be accepting because they were my child, and that should always trump anything a religion says.

That was a fairly large factor in why *I* stopped going to church, so yeah, I'm right there with my kid and we can GTFO now. And, TBH, feel like a shit for not leaving sooner.

I hug my kid.

I hug my kid even harder, and tell them that I don't care what a bunch of bigots say, I love them.

I'd stop going to that church as soon as that bullshit was spewed, so this whole argument would not have happened. I don't support bigotry.

They wouldn't end up going to youth group unless they wanted to go back and try it, so that's not na issue.

I would hug and love my child], and support them and/or their BFF.

Man, my kid's got some guts. I'd really admire him/her. I'd get the kid out of the church. More to the point, why I have been forcing him/her to go anyway, and why am I still there?

If I find out my kid is gay, I give him/her a hug and say, "I hope you find someone you love and trust who loves you. If you need anything, I'm here for you."

Pretty much this exactly.

Well, I kinda agree with my hypothetical kid. I'm an agnostic atheist anyway so I probably wouldn't be taking kiddo to church in the first place but I'm glad they have the capacity to think for themselves and come to their own decisions instead of being led around to a belief by the religious organization.

Later, I'd be not that surprised.
