Parents of gay children

But as far as the child being gay is concerned, I wouldn't mind at all and I would certainly hope they'd find their way and become comfortable with who they are.
That's a good point and I would agree. I know from personally experience the problems I have faced being Bi. I wouldn't want any child to go through that sort of discrimination.

This is one reasons I am very passionate about gay rights. It's not just about equal rights, but also to show children it's okay to prevent the very sad cases of suicide and depression associated with homosexual teens. There were recent news cases about children committing suicide simply because they were mocked for being gay and we don't even know if they were.

I also wrote an article about the differences of coming out gay vs. atheist
