Many times it's fear of the unknown. Fear that your child will be bullied, treated differently and become a outsider. Since you were in your moms belly they probably had an idea what your life would be like. And now it's all changed to them. Some are also under the false impression they will never have a family. Others are very religious and believe their child will go to Hell.

Both of which are really stupid reasons. A lot of people feel they need society's approval or the approval of some religious leader in order to get through life. Their upbringing may have given them a value system that says being gay is wrong and they have never grown up enough to get past that. It may be hard to accept, but the parents are the ones who lose and in the long run, the child is probably going to be better off getting away from those beliefs.

Regardless of the reason, parents who disown their children get what they deserve: emptiness.
