The Morman hypothetical

It might have helped if you spelled Mormon correctly.

But the deliberate misspelling is bound not to insult Mormons and lead to a faster answer, right?
And shouldn't this be in the random question thread, since Viny seems to like broad topic threads?
How did your parents react?

You don't need to really think too deeply on this one. Whatever way you would react to a child of yours that you felt was participating in destructive behavior, is probably the way most Mormon parents would react to something they deem as being destructive behavior. Condemn the act, love the child.....or something like that.
I'd demand to meet her girlfriend, and if she's a loser, I'd kicker her ***. If she was a good person and was taking care of my daughter, then they'd have my blessing. In other words, I wouldn't give a crap and I'd treat her like i would treat anyone else in a relationship with my daughter.

A stupid question gets a stupid response.....apparently you didn't understand that....so that makes you....stupid?...I vote yes.

Actually I did understand your response was sarcastic. I also understood that VO's question, while perhaps an attempt to incite a riot, was also an attempt to provoke serious thought and discussion. You though? Your initial response was enough to convince me that you do not want to seriously answer the question. I can only assume that the silence is out of fear that you'll be condemned as always. And with good reason.
What are you looking for here Viny? Someone to say "I'd be devastated and disown my child"? I think most people on here would do what's already been said, love the sinner but not the sin.
I like to think I would be supportive of my child and their companion, whatever their sexual orientation. But that being said, I don't think I can truly know unless I am put in that spot.

Because the answer is easily that you love that child no differently than you have or treat them differently. That is not only what the church teaches but its common sense.
I think that's an interesting statement in of itself.
In regards to the original question, I'm not "looking for" anything...just an answer to the question.
Edited to add:
Let me take that back. I guess I'm just looking for the truth.
Common sense? You would think right.
Edited to add: Not being a Morman, I don't have the privilege of accessing Morman literature or teachings...Can you point me in the right direction of a website that will give me better insight to the teachings on this subject.
