I understand that having my views regarding gay sex is pretty much the worst sin around these forums. But I'm not going to lie about my beliefs.
C_L, can I ask what you will do if one of your children is LGBT? Will you tell him or her they should abstain from sex? Will you tell them the Church won't recognize it if he or she gets married? Will you support him or her if they want to have children, via adoption or otherwise?
I would be honest with them about my beliefs. Though I'm sure they will already know them before they come out to me anyway, so once they did come out, I don't see why I would need to reiterate. I would just make sure they knew nothing changes between us.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
