So long as he didn’t want to be Black as well.
I’d wonder if it was genetic, question my sexuality, have a mental breakdown, and end up a male prossie hooked on crack… yeah sounds about right…
Btw why is this in the philosophy section ??? 
if my kid was gay and male, i’d probably disinherit them
if my kid was gay and female, i’d probably make them my sole inheritor.
no accounting for taste.
Great question Rounder… I was wondering that myself when I first noticed it. I suppose we’ll have to ask HVD… the person who put it here in the first place, eh?
I honestly wouldn’t be upset. Same if my brother or even one of my parents turned out to be gay, it’s their life, they’ve got to do whatever pleases them. I’d be fine with it.
If it was my daughter i’d probably encourage sapphism to be honest, the thought of having to sit there and listen to some teenage hard-on ridden male would/will force me to move or emigrate to Norway. The long and cold nights wouldnt be too harsh knowing ive got my own girl to play with… my partner, not… for christ sake.
The son, that would be a different matter all together. First, id blame his mother. Then, id pump him full of methyltestosterone and make him watch Rambo or something, while free burning the same gray hen, up hill gardener, bent b***** remarks. Repeat this day-in day-out but increase the beatings.
“Dont be gay!”
“But thats what i was born”
“No, you’ve been watching TV too much with ya mother”
“But I like melo dramas, Sex and the city and stuff”
“No, Samurai Jack! Rambo! War documentrys! Imagine a seen at some coffee table; that slut on sex and the city talking female genitalia, rambos sitting there, he get histerical (flash back) and starts describing the agony he went through while been impaled in Narm, watching his friends been mutilated!”
“Ooh but why”
“No TV, no food and i’ll burn all ya clothes - thats why. Dont be gay!”
“[about to speak]”
“No, Dont be gay!”
think a moment… men who are attracted to women watch beauty pagents…
men who are attracted to men watch what? effeminate men? perhaps, but probably not exclusively…
“Dont be gay!”
“just watch this muscle bound sweaty guy acting all macho…”

Wouldn’t bother me in the slightest, infact I would like to have one gay kid and one straight one.
!!!
how about 4 kids, 2 girls, one gay, 2 boys, 1 gay ?
no, wait, how about 16 kids ?
4 boys, 2 white, 1 gay, 2 black, 1 gay. 4 girls, same deal.
come to think about it, how about fucking a parrot ?
only if it is dead and there is no silly walk involved…

The broader question here is one of how do you deal with parental disappointment? We all have expecations for our children. We all hope for them to great achievements, have fame and fortune.
Here in American children are practically a manufactured product. Little Billy Jr. carries the family (brand) name. Think of the tremendous pressure we put on children to perform in ever area of their young lives. The American parental commanment is: Achieve!
What happened when our children fall short of the mark we have set for them? For we have power over our children. What will we do with it? Do we abuse that power for our petty whims? Will we use our children in an effort to sure-up our own damaged egos and insecurities?
Or will we respect them? Will we grant them autonomy? Will we help them to develop according to their own character?
If the sexual orientation of your child calls up your insecurities how are you going to deal with it? Are you going to take responsibility for it? Or are you going to force your child to be responsible for your problems?
Just to be ultra PC I had better have one disabled one, too.
Oh yeah, Rambo’s going to help there. A strong, sweaty man in a tank top running around the jungle. And even Samurai Jack centers around a young verile warrior who shows off his wash-board abs and let’s loose his long, flowing raven hair in every other episode while fighting giant robots.
I believe this is a good point. In fact its the heart of contension. I personally would have no problem with having a gay son or daughter because I know, without a doubt, that there’s nothing wrong with being gay and its nothing to be ashamed about. Its just something that is. But if a parent lets his/her homophobic feelings get in the way of supportive parenting that’s just immature and foolish.
Homophobia seems like such a waste of emotion. I mean, as a whole, they gay community aren’t really as scary as say, Colombian drug lords, hitmen, political terrorists, or even dentists. I’ll bring up a famous example, Nathan Lane. Who could possibly be scared of Nathan Lane?
i’m not particularly scared of gays or druglords. but i find gay men having sex to be a repulsive scene. should it happen that i own the house, i should have a say in keeping that which i find repulsive out.
Personally I would be rather shocked and would question the variables that could have caused it, (As I don’t believe that you are born Gay/Not Gay). I would in the end be fine with it
i would have no problem with it.
Nowadays the only way to fix him would be via Pavlov.
You’d have to pull a Clock-work Orange on him. Tying him to a chair and clamping his eyelids open, forcing him to watch Playboy Centerfold Videos incesantly.
If that doesn’t work, its probably not going happen. The ‘gay’ have a culture of their own and this draws individuals regardless of genetic circumstances. Homosexuality is everywhere. The church, the TV, the music, the fashion industry, clothing stores, conditioning otherwise healthly heterosexual people into becomeing gay by glorifying it culturally through consumerism. People literally can “buy” gay-ness.
I don’t think it would bother me really. as long as i knew the kid was happy and being sensible.
I think i would be alot more upset if i knew that my children were sleeping around, and not being careful sexually than really caring who they are fucking.
as long as they’re treating right and being treated right by whoever they are sleeping with, and as long as they are happy then i wouldn’t give two hoots about whether or not their partner had the same genitalia or not.
also would be nice if they were honest with me about things. i wouldn’t want to know details but if they had problems and could come to me that would be nice.
haha, good one!
Nah, you can do it in 2 years of therapy, on average. Thus disproving this ‘sexuality is innate’ propaganda which is largely (though not exclusively) spread by the pro-Gay league.
Or just reason with him. There’s nothing rationally defensible about homosexuality, most take it as a lifestyle choice that they then dress up as something more important because they don’t want to admit how shallow they are.
Or be taken to be gay by simply announcing it. The discourse is presently in a state where someone testifying to their own sexuality (particularly if it deviates from hetersexuality) is automatically assumed to be being truthful. Why would someone lie about being gay?
a) to make friends
b) to feel special or different
c) because they’ve been unsuccessful in heterosexual relationships
d) because they are rebelling against a religious upbringing
e) because homosexual culture has fewer rules, due to being seen as the alternative, the liberating difference
f) because they are bored
g) because they want to piss off their parents
h) because gay people get more attention and are treated as a protected species
i) because they are unhappy and are willing to try anything if they think it might alleviate that
j) because they had the conversation with themself which started ‘am I gay?’ and lacked the imagination to say ‘no’
k) (my personal favourite) because it allows them to claim to see the world differently “I don’t even think straight” etc.
