Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone had some good advice on how to tell family members who are not accepting of homosexuality that you and your partner want to have a baby? Most of my family is very accepting of me being gay. The only one is my stepfather. My mother is not crazy about it but she loves my partner and has told me that she wants me to be happy. My stepfather on the other hand told me that "society is telling children that homosexuality is ok, when it's not." My partner and I have been together for 2 years and are committed and we want to start a family. I am just a little nervous to have to tell my mother and stepfather. In the end I am going to do what makes me happy but just thought any words of advice would help. Thank you

    Thanks Heidbee! My stepfather is not in the military, but very catholic. Not sure which is worse as far as open mindedness goes! I think in the end all will work out and be ok. Thank you for your response, much appreciated!

    Hey Bluesky, I am worried as well about my stepfather not accepting our child or children as his own grandchildren. But you are right in that, if someone has an issue with it than it would be better off not having them involved. I had sat down with my stepdad to talk about me being gay, and told him that he is entitled to his opinion but I am who i am and i can not change that. It's all very stressful but I just have to keep reminding myself that this is my life, my decisions and my happiness. You know people can have their opinions but they don't have to walk in our shoes. Stay strong as you are :)
