How'd you react if your kid was homophobic?

Sounds really awful for gay and bisexual fathers.

It's pity.

I'd tell him/her that people are all different with different brains. Most are stupids, some are clever, but all are perverts. Some perversions are more socially accepted than others , while having his ass pound for male is no more listed as a disease in the DSM, it's still not very accepted specially because some crazy LGBT guys enjoy showing how bad it is to be gay. Therefore I'll tell him it's ok to be homophobic towards ugly fat bear half naked in streets and towards biphobic gays but not against homosexuals who act with respect for others and who dont impose their perverted way of life in public. (aka LGBT demonstration / "Gay pride" which are a terrible terrible way to make gays accepted.. it actually does the opposite and triggers many homophobic responses, even I feel really homophobic when I watch that..)

it will be crushing. but i wonder if that would be telling of the job i did as a parent.. like i did not educate/teach my child adequately..

then again, lots of screwed up kids with perfectly alright parents.. hmmm

I honestly doubt you would have this situation. My Neice has grew up around my partner and I. She has just started high school and one of her friends announced she might be Bisexual. While the rest of her friends freaked out she told them "Get over yourselves, its completely normal" and here is my point. Growing up with gay parents is going to teach the child from an early age that being gay is perfectly normal. What matters to a child is love and thats what they are going to see.

yes you can have this situation, like a lot. you only point one of the simplest situation, where the child has grew up in a gay family.
dont forget they are many gays who are married, have children and then realize they are gay , get a divorce and go live with a partner. in that not so uncommon case your child could be hating you for being gay..

Good call. You know I totally didn't think of that situation. In all honestly probably because its not a situation I would find myself in. Naturally I apologize for making an assumption. Sometimes it's difficult to respond without some context.

In that situation I think it would be rough, and if I was in that situation I think I would accept that the child would be angry. The family dynamic has drastically changed. Its a tricky situation and one I would need to deal with diplomatically and avoid arguing and let them work through whatever issues they have. For me family is everything an no matter what happens blood is always thicker than water and like to think that you can work through whatever issues. In my time I've seen cases that I would have classed as hopeless become resolved. I think that child will need space and time.

I will admit I am somewhat of an Optimist, and my advice to anyone in that situation would be to have faith.

you can´t do nothing

homophobic acts based on the places where children raised. If gay parent provide with their children good educatian, there is almost no change them to be homophobic

I would ask the little bugger what's wrong with him.

Homophobia doesn't develope out of thin air, it had to be nourished somewhere.

If my child had homophobic ideas I would, first, explain to him/her at the best of my possibilites how homophobia is wrong. Second, I would sniff out where he/she is getting all that shit from and cut my son/daughter from it.

Of course if you do something douchey like divorcing your wife without any explanation and then go live the gay-party-boy lifestyle, you screwed up, BIG time.  Either the child is gonna hate you (and the mother would nourish that hate) or he/she would grow up to be an irresponsible ass and will use you as an example.

People aren't born homophobic so I doubt I would have to problem with raising kids and one of them popping up as homophobic. As long as you treat your kids right the chances of them hating you is thin to nothing. And I still don't get why it's called homophobia, I don't know why people are scared of gay people, I've only ever met douche bags.
