My son is only 7 months old, so I haven't had to deal with anything even remotely like this yet, and won't for a long while. However, I would have an issue with the "sexual" aspect of the situation, same sex or otherwise. I don't know how I'm going to deal with the issue of sex when it comes up for our family, but the thought certainly makes me nervous.
It doesn't matter to me whether or not my son ends up heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual. I just want to be able to guide him in the right direction when it comes to sex at all. I was very promiscuous as a teenager and the thoughts of my children going through what I went through, flat out scares me.
It's late, and I'm babbling, but basically. As long as my child is healthy and happy, if they find love in their life, no matter who for, I will be happy for them. But, I'd really prefer that they keep the sexual exploration to a minimum until they're a bit older and have a better idea of who they are, and hope that they don't end up using (or feel they have a need to do so) sex as a way to get attention, and what they mistake for love.
And for the record, I'm bisexual. But have only ever had romantic relationships with men.
