How would you react? I ask because I was thinking about a friend of mine today. He was gay and his parents found out when they snooped through his diary. He had a great relationship with them until then. They took him outside and burned his diary right in front of him 
Of course someday I would love to help plan Dillons wedding to a woman, but I would never disown him or treat him different if he ever announced he was gay. I've known several parents who have said things like "oh, my kid would never be gay" or "I would send him/her to counseling to straighten him/her out". To me those comments are naive. I find it hard to beleive that a parent could not accept their child for this reason.
