Did you offer the same admonition regarding sex with women outside of marriage?

Yes I did!

Fair enough.

It's hard to imagine a parent disowning a kid over heterosexual sin these days, but the general consensus sure seems to be that disowning one over being gay is not only all right, but it's the only thing you could do.

I'm a Christian but I'm not a parent, so I can't say how I would handle anything for sure (though my neighbors' son and daughter are gay, and I definitely talk to them, and I definitely care about them, and I LIKE them) - but I appreciate your consistency.

Old Greek Orthodox saying from fathers to sons regarding extra marital sex. "Son there are two things you must always be careful where you put, one is you signature, the other is your " I have heard versions where signature is replace with "your word", but that comes from a time when a promise to marry a woman was binding under penalty of vendetta. (in the USA we would call it a blood feud). It all goes back to teaching children right from wrong BEFORE AGE 10. After that, the foundation will be attacked.
