Parents? Anyone in general really...

[PaigeBoo]

If your son or daughter, or a possible son or daughter, would you be happy if they told you they were gay? Or would you not be to thrilled about it but accept them for who they are?

Just curious... I feel like I shouldn't show my sisters how I am because they will want to copy me. I know that their dad isn't all to accepting and I don't want them to feel like they have dissappointed him or anything like that. But I'm not to sure how he really feels about it, I'm just curious to know how you guys would react to it.

I can understand not telling your family that you are gay, I think it all depends on the family. I know for sure if I went out and told my family I liked dudes that I would get my ass beat or kicked out or both. Not saying I'm hopping aboard the dude train, I'm just saying hypothetically lol

They wouldn't be happy, I'll tell you that. Not saying this from experience, but you are who you are and you should stick to that. Your parents/sisters whatever should have their lifestyles, and they should respect yours. If I was a parent, I would be pissed though, prob yell for a good day. Just being honest.

A true parent accepts thier kids no matter what. Would i be disappointed? Sure but anger wouldnt factor into it at all. I love all of my kids no matter what unless they hack, then they are dead to me (jk on the last part)

It's so weird actually why parents have difficulties with the sexual attractions of their child. You made your child, it's yours, you raised it you love it it's your everything.
And then you get mad because it doesn't like the opposite gender? That's fucked up imo.

I'm not going to tell you how to live your life but definitely make it fun. Don't let anyone bring you down about anything, especially not being gay or straight.
I can't wait till the moment comes everyone just accepts gay people, and every gay couple in every single country can just marry whenever they want without having a complete rage or even have problems with the government or whatever. We live in a fucked up world, but i hope it will change soon.

As you said in your sig;

~Stay Strong~

 

[PaigeBoo]

Haha thanks guys, I'm not judging anyone on any posts either. Just throwing that out there. Just kind of curious to see it how other people see it. I've come out to my family, and they accept me, but I'm not sure if they would accept it from the other two. I'm the odd one out. And Titoezz I agree, I can't wait for a day like that. Although I do try to not bring up the whole marriage thing because so many people feel so strongly about it that it really gets no where to argue about it.

 

[517Houston]

Gays should be allowed to marry.. No reason they shouldn't be as miserable as straights...lmao

 

[felon]

lol 517

My family wouldn't really care.

 

[PaigeBoo]

Haha well I think we should be allowed to marry as well

 

[Macbeth]

My family would accept it. I would accept it as well.
I don't think it would matter that much if you told your siblings because its not contagious or anything... And they are your sisters they will accept you. They'll find out eventually and its better if you tell them rather than someone else (I think). I see how it could be a tough decision to make (which it is).
I think you should do what your heart tells you to do (very corny).
Enjoy your life!

Gays should be allowed to marry i see nothing wrong with it (there is nothing wrong with it).

 

[Slaya]

My mom would slap the shitt outta me if i walked up to her and bursted out IM GAY

 

[UnTamed]

Same as slaya.And houston your child is no hacker he's a camper.

 

[PaigeBoo]

Well I also didn't tell my parents by blurting it out either. I was in a relationship and didn't tell them and they knew soo.... telling them was kinda just a formality... My 8 year old sister knows that I'm gay, and she knows what it means. I just, I didn't want her dad to think that she was gay if she started deciding she wants to get things I want (the topic today was a rainbow colored zebra striped back pack). And you know, I will dance on my dance floor lol

 

[Cent0]

My parents are Asian... Nuff said.

 

[CiTyCHiLD]

...so you and your sisters have the same mother just different fathers? If I was in your situation, then I guess I would hide who I am from my sisters in fear that their dad would try to separate us. To answer your first question, I wouldn't care if my son or daughter was gay, but I would like my son or daughter to tell me and not try to hide it. Lol such a stereotype for someone who is gay to want something that has a rainbow on it.

 

[PaigeBoo]

Ahahaha, that's what my mom said too, but I don't want it for the rainbow colors, it's just an awesome looking backpack. Yes, we have different fathers, my dad is awesome to me, he loves that I'm gay, he was the first person I told. My step dad and I have gotten into screaming matches over me being gay and him saying I have no right to get married. But I think you're right, keeping it sheltered from them might be the best idea until they are older.

As a father, if my daughter was gay, I guess it would be no big deal. As long as her ideals don't change.

Mind you, I'm not real keen on some gay females who seem to think they need to "man themselves up" because they are gay.
I work in a fairly "gay rich" environment, and we have plenty of them. But the odd one or two seem to want to act real harsh and tough. Maybe that's only the lesbian Emos, not sure.

Gay marriage has been a big issue over here. I think it's legal in some states, not sure. Legally, it doesn't matter, our laws state once you have been co-habiting for over 6 months it makes no difference if you were married or not, from a Family law perspective.

To open up a can of worms though, what about gays having kids. Do we think it's fair on children?

 

[Joe Momma]

Honestly... if I had a daughter I would rather her be a lesbian than be straight... Think about it. If she's straight I would have to protect her from other guys etc etc, but if she's lesbian.. I mean it would be w/e to me.

 

[honestjohnny]

I dont care wether my daughters turn out gay or not. Im supportive in anything they want to do as long as no one is getting hurt. But if I had a son I would beat the shit outta him then take him to get his first hooker. I think if i rubbed his face in vag long enough he would learn to love it as much as me. Besides most gay boys are gay because they didnt have an active father in there life and all the girls are meen to them. My wifes little brother was gay but it turns out the little guy was just horny and no girls wanted him so he started getting curious about other ways to get affection. once he got a little bush burger he has turned into a normal guy. Luckily for him the only person he told about this was my wife. otherwise he would have came out of the closet for no reason. would have been like a false alarm. How embaressing would that be.

I really cant stand homophobes one little bit. If i had a child i would want them to be happy, not to be afraid of being themselves or have to feel ashamed and/or confused about who they are. I find it very sad that gay people are persecuted so much. Unfortunately, i think religion also plays a big role in how gay people are treated.

The only real time a gay person kind of bothers me is when they feel the need to flaunt it in your face, but having never been gay and persecuted for it, i can't truly know where they are coming from. Hopefully one day we can get over our prejudices and accept people for who they are. Media also plays a big part in this as well. Hard to find a sit com these days that doesn't make fun of gays.

HJ implying gay's are not normal guys? This is the kind of attitude i speak of. Let a person be who they are.
