Not a parent, but a friend of mine was disowned by his adopted parents when he came out as gay. Either both of his parents are Southern Baptists, or one parent is Southern Baptist and the other's Catholic. Either way, they're very religious and quite homophobic, so when my friend came out, it came as something of a shock to both of them. His father got *extremely* angry, neither parent was having any of that in *their* house, there was a fight, some nasty things were said on both sides, and my friend got disowned in favor of their biological daughter, his adoptive younger sister.
