    Or, call Michelle Bachman's boy toy hubby and find out what reeducation would cost me. If it's too much, back to first principles.


    I find this repugnant in the light of the OP. This is ones own child we are speaking of.

    Advocating the murder of a gay child? Sounds akin to Sharia law to me.

    if you step back and view it for what it really is about, it's quite silly.

    people are getting all up in arms because some folks engage in sex differently than most.

    Sharia law...No

    Murder...No

    More like preventing a sickness (plague epidemic) from getting out of control. Catch the infected little bastards when thier young....There will be less adult homos contaminating the world..

    It depends on whether my gay child was choosing to be an activist in my house or choosing to be respectful.

    To kiss and hold hands in front of your parents who don't agree with your view on homosexuality...is simply rebelling against them. And if my gay child did that then it wouldn't be me putting tension in the family.

    Even gay children should respect their parents and not make everything about themselves.

    Not "murder" just a long dark nap.

    If there is indeed a queer gene, they should test all krumpets in utero so's we can chop and vac, like Roto Rooter Utero.

    "Suction please!"

    Either you have a truly sick sense of humor or you are straight-up psycho.

    That you either have a truly sick sense of humor, or you belong in a straitjacket, in a padded cell, in a maximum-security mental ward.

    Unfortunately, the world is full of Travis Bickles and Dixiehunters. Some are just insensitive jerks, some are just looking for a reaction, and some are just plain bullies and I've seen them all.

    Good luck and have a wonderful life and to answer your OP I would have hugged my child and told them I love them just as I always have, but secretly, I would love them a little more now, knowing the burden that some in society will place on them.

    My point is that if you can't accept your own child it is repugnant. That is my point.

    I understand your point so anything that would possibly offend you would be out?
    So you would not respect their relationship. Say the gay son was in a state where same sex marriage is legal would you attend the wedding and reception knowing their would more than likely be a gay turn out?

    I have seen and dealt with the full on bigotry as most gays have and it gets old and tiresome. Yes there will always be those that dislike for the sake of dislike. I meet a guy once who when he told his parents he was gay the father and his brother beat the hell out of him and sent him to the hospital with broken ribs and a punctured lung. The mother pressed charges and the father and the brother are doing time now for there poor behavior.
    Thank you for the wish of luck.
    Being accepting and loving the child no matter what is what parenting should be about.

    Why wouldn't it be? Why would you want to offend your parents? If you had the choice of creating tension or making peace....which would you choose?



    I don't think the relationship is healthy. I respect the people involved...but I have a different viewpoint.

    If my gay child was going through a civil union or marriage and I was invited...I would go. Though I am against gay marriage as equal to traditional marriage....its for policy reasons not "gay" reasons. I do believe in the value of civil unions. But regardless...whether it be civil union or marriage....I'm not going to be an activist and refuse to go in protest.

    Wouldn't you be making your child uncomfortable in your home, if they knew they couldn't express their love for their chosen partner?

    I am not saying you are wrong. I was trying to see how far you may go with that. I know my mother and father had difficulty. I am respectful. Yes they have seen me put my arm around my wife. Yes the have seen me take her hand. They have seen us kiss. Those are gestures that we do because we are in life and it is what we do. There is certainly nothing horribly overt or gay about any of those things. They are innocent gestures. I kiss my wife or she kisses me before we eat a meal. I will kiss her wherever I am at that time. I would not expect my heterosexual parents to not hold hands or kiss in my home. I would not ask them to not hug. That can be seen in the same way. Why is what a gay does offensive and not a heterosexual. What is the problem with that and why the double standard?

    Nice response on the wedding. The problem with civil union is that it is not always the same as marriage. But that is another issue totally.

    How about substituting the word "moron" instead of psycho.

    The neuroplasticity probably occurs to the internal dialog of thought itself mostly I'd imagine. So what other people do or say would not really make much difference compared to what the person felt or believed.... but I'm not talking so much about attraction to same gender, as Ive tried to say a few times... Im talking about exclusion of attraction to the other gender.

    Yes I do consider most humans to be bisexual biologically, but social conditioning and decision making imparts heterosexuality most usually but people who are more xgendered tend to suffer the above mentioned group concept. My reference to 'coaching' was specifc to 'an' example of non-specific likeleehood being used to help explain my point. I dont consider 'coaching' to become gay exists much outside of the internal dialog and intimate dialogs with a same sex partner perhaps in line with that above mentioned group concept.

    Thanks, I tried to put myself in the position of a parent of a gay child, and I tried to address the subject as logically as I can. I may not be gay, but I know there is stuff I do that makes my mum unhappy, but she seems to love me nevertheless.

    But I am really angry at the people on here who came out with all that moronic, insulting, **** about smothering children, etc. I'm not a wuss, but I cannot see what people gain by saying gratuitously offensive and insulting things to others. Honestly, I think most guys who behave like arse-holes about gays, are likely as not to be closet-queens themselves.
