Is it normal for a father to not accept their son's sexuality?

its normal for him to be not accepting because it happens a lot, but in another sense, it is not normal at all. fathers should have unconditional love. so is if normal means "Common", then yes, its normal. if normal means "acceptable", then no, its not.

It's normal but it's also terrible. :/

One of my old high school's friend's dad was gay and wanted my friend to be gay aswell, and would inappropriately touch my friend after divorcing his mom (my friend was 11 when his dad came out of the closet and divorced his mom) and told my friend to never hang out with a girl. My friend was however straight, and would rebel against his dad, who would beat him whenever he caught him talking to a girl. By the time my friend was 16 he was matured enough to report his dad to the cops, and today after well over a decade he is happily married to one of our female friends from high school, and have a twin boy and girl. I haven't heard of his dad since, hope that monster rotted in prison!

Hello, past Henry.

its normal for a father not to accept it cause i believe most father really wants their son to look up to them. lot of men are not really good with feelings & emotional about it. They try stay tough & strong about it keep everything to themselves. Try talk to your father about your sexuailty he will get hang of it & get used to it. Getting love & support from a father can be very hard. Personaly i would have hard time to handle if i ever have a son who is gay...cause it would make me worry wat did i do to my own kid that turn into gay. then i gotta realize it w/e happens gotta love your own kid no matter wat how they turn out to.

Not normal but common. :(

Yes. Its normal for a heterosexual father who has a son that is gay to not be accepting of it. Personally, I would love my child regardless. But I also understand the fathers point of view and understand where his pain is coming from so that doesn't make him a bad person, but he does need to get over it eventually if he truly loves his son. Not like it, but at least accept it.

It's horrible that it happens, but it still happens.

It's not normal. /;

fathers have a really hard time accepting the fact that he has a gay son. it happens and it's normal, sadly.

You have to pretty much accept that because it's who he is and this is one of the things that he can turn around if you don't want him to.

It's normal. Look at the fact that they want to pass on their genes after thousands of years of heritage then boom.

Saying this as it being more and more accepted, people will be more understanding.

might take time

This is common, sadly. However, it is far from "normal".
In fact, it's horrible. And if you don't accept your own children for whoever they turn out to be, you are a horrible person and a horrible father.

that makes me :(
