Gotta love JLo!

Jennifer Lopez, quoted in The Advocate, on if her kids turned out gay:

"Honestly, it wouldn't bother me at all. I wouldn't be shocked or anything. (Husband) Marc even once asked me, What if one of the babies is gay? I said, Who cares? And he was like Yeah, I know, who cares? You just love your kids and want them to be happy."

Nicely put... Jenny from the Block!

For a while I thought I would be disappointed if my son WASN'T gay, but I think I'm finally learning that I'll be okay if he's heterosexual.

I'm not kidding. :)

I think I'd be fine with it, but I can't honestly say 'till it happens. My wife said "That's fine, but they'd better find a way to give me some grandchildren!"

When we all get to the point where finding out the sexual orientation of your child is akin to finding out their hair color, it will truly be a great day. Then it will really be just another characteristic that describes us, not something that separates us from "normal".

Here, here! I wouldn't mind either ..... well except for one reason..... if there was still predjudice - I hate the thought of anyone putting up with that shit, let alone my own daughter.

I'm down with J Lo. As long as my son is healthy and happy, I don't give two rats arses who he loves...I'd probably get along better with his husband than wife though. There will never be a woman good enough for my son.

I will be so happy if either or both of my daughters are gay...the girls in my family have a tendency to get knocked up at 15...seriously I'm the only one out of all my sisters, nieces, and even cousins who didn't....lol. In case you didn't read my comment on your silence post....you have an award to claim on my blog. ;) Much love!! xoxoxoxoxo

Love that no woman will be good enough for your son, so he might as well find a man. That is classic!

And yes the discrimination of course makes things harder, that being said the more people who come out and stand up, the more we move society forward step by step.

And Gadgerson - hysterical about your family, and thanks for award - heading over to check it out right now!!!

I think as a parent all you want is for your child to be happy. We have tried to bring up our boys with a tolerance mindset, not just in regards to sexuality but the world in general, not in case they are gay but because we want them to be decent human beings who think about their actions once they head out into the world. We're getting there, but it's hard when their friends are not raised that way. It takes guts to stand up against the crowd, be it in regards to sexuality, religion, race etc. You want them to feel secure and confident in who they are, only then can they stand up for themselves and others.

I was super proud of my youngest when he stood up for his best-friend at primary school (she was the only Asian student at the school) when she was surrounded and being taunted. Her mum rang us to say thank you as not one other student stood up for her. My heart burst with pride but I was also sad that he was the only one.

She's right.. who cares as long as they are happy. And who knows, they might even get to marry the person of their choice. Now wouldn't that be something?

Awesome. I like her and think she just gets a bad rap from some mean people.
Just tracked down your blog, through the comment you left on mine. VERY funny stuff you got here. I'll flag it and keep track of you. Mine should be so interesting.

Never been a J-Lo fan really, but like her much better after hearing this.
