How Would You Respond If Your Child Told You He or She Were Homosexual?

Issues surrounding same sex marriage have caused heated debates among the religious groups and rights activists. The clergy is divided on the topic of gay rights. Is it a moral issue or is it a human rights issue? Perhaps it would be easier to understand if we approach it from another angle. How would you respond if your child told you they were homosexual? Advocate and journalist Cheryl Charles, Lay Leader at First Church of Winthrop United Methodist, volunteer with the Aids Action Committee Buddy Program and author of the Blog "Wild Ride With My Earbaby", a blog about raisinga teenager, discusses the issue of gay rights.
