Would you truly be okay with having an LGBT kid?
- Everyone in liberal spaces, such as reddit, says they’d love their kid if they came out of the closet as LGBT. But I have heard of liberal and atheist parents kicking their kids out of the house because of this.
- 99% of people ignore homeless people when homeless people try to talk to them out in public. Which means most of the parents on this sub would also ignore a homeless person. But keep in mind that lots of these people are homeless because they are LGBT, and their families kicked them out. So by ignoring these people, it seems to me that you don’t care about or like the gay community. Am I right?

No, you’re totally wrong. They are two separate issues.
I would be worried about them if this would make life harder because as a parent you don’t want obstacles for your child if you can help it. I wouldn’t kick them out. That would never cross my mind. I can 100% say I wouldn’t kick them out over being LGBT
I don’t talk to homeless people because I don’t give out random money and I don’t want to get into a conversation. Also some homeless people have drug addiction or severe mental health issues and I just don’t want to put myself in an unsafe situation. I’ll smile at someone and say hi back but I’m not stopping to chat with a random stranger on the street. Honest answer and maybe one that’s disappointing.
Yes.
I would prefer not, because I know a bit of what problems they’d go through, and I’d rather they be spared that.
I will say that the kicking out is not a phenomenon I’ve heard of happening to anyone LGBTQ+ in my social circle, but I am not in the US.
I’ve observed nothing but acceptance in my rather odd group of friends, where I’m almost an outlier being a straight cis het male.
Most of the homeless I see are long time addicts or mentally ill.
Apathy for the homeless is an issue, don’t get me wrong. But none of those people are my kids, so I don’t get what you’re trying to prove.
That’s a reach. While I do have compassion for the homeless, I avoid them in my area because most are in psychosis and are unpredictable.
Are you okay OP? Are you worried about being kicked out?
I would truly be okay with my kids being LGBTQ.
My husband insists that if our child was a serial killer, he’d still hide her out. I would call the police on her though.
But being LGBTQ on the other hand isn’t going to hurt anyone, and we aren’t going to fuss too much over it.
As far as homeless people, I don’t care who they sleep with, but I am concerned about being mugged. I’ve never had someone tell me they were LGBTQ so I should give them my money or be screamed at, insulted or have my car destroyed. I can’t say the same for the homeless.
My only concern regarding having an LGBTQIA+ child is that we live in a world where your question is relevant.
