The response from their parents is as varied as humanity itself. The parents of a lesbian I know are well known in the community as radical leftist socialist pigs (Ok, so I added the "pig" part). When my friend came out to her parents, they stopped paying her college tuition and pretty much shunned her. On the other hand, when a gay friend came out to his parents -- who he calls "Archie and Edith Bunker" -- his father said something like "at least you're not a car thief, and I we won't have to worry about you knocking up the a neighbor." Yes, his parents were disappointed, but he kept they kept things in perspective.

In my experience, conservatives (except for the moonbat fringe, a la Keyes) deal with these things in a more civilized manner than leftists when presented as an acutal situation rather than an abstraction.

Your comments (a la Keyes) are indicitive of what one commentator refered to when he said "when persecution comes to the Body of Christ in America, it will be lead by 'Christians.'"

My experience also. Most of us really are compassionate conservatives. We may hate the sin, but we really do love the sinner.

Many lefties are perfectly happy to advocate homosexual rights....as long as their kids don't turn out gay. Then they turn into Archie Bunker.
