There's a few people saying things like "I'd still love him but make it clear I didn't was disappointed and disapproving"
In speaking to gay friends in the past this sort of thing has come up as one of the most difficult things of all. Especially when they are first realising they are gay, or when they first come out. They are struggling with their own issues and fears, and its very difficult to hear a parent essentially say "I disapprove of the person you are".
I understand the conflicting feelings people have, but you should consider when your words are counter to your feelings. As a gay child it would be hard to hear your parents criticising a large part of your being and still feel loved.
