Do you ever wish you had gay parents?

I suppose it would be nice. Maybe they'd be more understanding of my gender.

 

I don't know. I could see it as being easier, but you never know what could happen. Maybe the parent(s) could be disappointed that the child didn't have an easier life or something. Who knows?

 

They wouldn't have to be gay, just supportive enough to be affirming. I don't need parents even that want to march in a pride parade, just respect who I am and my identity. It's not a choice.

 

Maybe for a weekend or so, just to test it out and see if I like it.

 

My parents are straight but they're so supportive of the LGBT community. They actually scolded me when I used to be homophobic (yeah I used to be because I was in denial). I think some people here just need more understanding parents.

 

i wouldn't be who i am if it wasn't for the genetic DNA make-up that both of my parents gave me, so my answer is no. i also love both of them dearly.

even pushing that fact aside and assuming i'm still who i am, i wouldn't change it. not saying i wouldn't be ok with having gay parents or a gay parent... but i'm pretty content with my family life. i couldn't imagine things any other way.

 

Nope. I am happy with what I got.

 

Completely agree

 

I do have a gay parent, my father, but we rarely see each other (like 3/4 times a year). Since we're not that close I don't think he'll be the first person I come out to in my family.

 

As much as it would be nice to not have had to hide myself, I don't wish that I had gay parents. I just wish that they would be supportive and actually listen to what I have to say instead of dismissing everything as a choice or writing it off using some other kind of defunct reasoning.

 

YES. It would be so much easier.. If I where to still be bisexual, they could lead me down the path, help me with my transitioning, come to Pride with me, support me on my wishes to do drag and help me through school with all of the bullying instead of the opposite (minus the pride thing cause my mom has come with me before).. it would be so much easier and a lot better. A lot less stress on me, that's for sure.

 

Yes.

 

Maybe it'd be fun for a shortwhile, but I do love my parents the way they are now, so no. I wouldn't trade them for their gay copy Just like how I'd like them to accept me as gay, I accept them as straight. No need for changes, nor dreams of change

 

No because despite his falts my dad is perfect the way he is.

 

I just wish I had a better relationship with them. We've discussed LGBTQ+ topics a lot, and I think they suspect that I'm not straight even though I've told them before that I am. So, they'll most likely be supportive. However, it just feels awkward to tell them.

 

No. Sure, I guess that it might be nice at times, but I am glad that I grew up not seeing straight people as 'the enemy'. If I had gay parents then I would have no mature adults around me that are heterosexual and completely open (or most of the time)

 

In some ways it would be nice. I could come out to them without being judged and could have someone to talk about LGBT topics without things being awkward. Not that I would want to change my parents in any way, but it would make my life a bit easier.

 

Yeah at least I wouldn't have to hide my sexuality . :icon_sad:
