I'm gay!

[njcl]

[timpeters]

To be honest, I'd rather they're bisexual. I just think it's an advantage in life

 

[Shadow Wolf]

If I had a kid, I would "Ok, just dont wanna hear anything, see anything, or know about anything." Which is what I would to any hetero kids I might have. Actually, I would probably go with something like Majikthise's response.

One of the managers at the arbys I work at is lesbian. Shes also the coolest, most leanient, and best manager there.

My daughter is bisexual. She would never tell me, but I have seen the pictures on the internet.

I love her the same. If she ever feels that she can tell me: cool. If not, then I still love her just the same.

Crap, is that you, dad?!

Seriously...

i cannot condone their sexual preferences

yes, how dare they choose to come to terms with their hormones and genes!

 

[njcl]

yes, how dare they choose to come to terms with their hormones and genes!

so you want me to agree with it even though its forbidden by my master??.........:sarcastic

 

[Scuba Pete]

Dear Prima...

Could you please use the =Me and the =someone else arguments on the quotes please? It almost appears that the second quote is mine... which it is not.

I came to congratulate you Saw, but you falsly came out of the closet.

ND, Maybe I shouldn't butt in, but I think you should somehow let your daughter know that you know. Hiding something from a parent can be very stressful. I don't think you should make her feel like you are prying into her life. But she definitely needs to know that she has nothing to be ashamed of, and she needs to know that you accept her as she is, she should not be walking around in a mask thinking she is sparing you from disappointment.

 

[Scuba Pete]

All in good time. I think she is protecting her mother and not me.

 

[Mister Emu]

I would tell them that I love them. That I accept them.









And that if they continue they will be consigned to the depths of hell. Then proceed to send them to the Love in Action camp where they can remove the sin from their lives, and none of that God-hating-gay-creating Bach music. :tsk:

I would not really do that. Though, I would let them know that I disapprove of it, because I do, and I would not lie to my children and pretend that I don't.

My mother, who hardly missed a beat when I told her that I had a girlfriend, doesn't believe in bisexuals. They're just "hedging their bets". Her self-confessed 'open-mindedness' doesn't stretch that far, apparently.

Personally, if I had a child and they came up and told me that they were gay/bi/whatever, it wouldn't change a thing.

 

[Prima]

Oh, the second one was from njcl

ND, have you heard my story of being booted out of the closet? methinks you might enjoy it if you haven't.

 

[Bastet]

All in good time. I think she is protecting her mother and not me.

And she could just be torturing herself needlessly in the meantime. Perhaps coming out to her mother would be easier if she knew she had you in her corner. Moral support in such circumstances means more than you could imagine.

 

[Scuba Pete]

Well.

I will listen to y'all and discuss this with her. But not tonight!

And Prima, I would love to hear it. Do you have a link, or will you post it again?

 

[almifkhar]

i don't care what my kids do so long as it is legal. i only wish for them to be honest and honorable. thats it.

 

[Malus 12:9]

I'd say "Ok..have fun."

 

[sillygeezer10]

I am 15 and bi sexual. I confessed to Mum and she was fine about it....

 

[Unedited]

There might be new rules about letting same-sex friends sleep over. It really wouldn't matter to me, but I would want to sit down and talk it over.

My mother, who hardly missed a beat when I told her that I had a girlfriend, doesn't believe in bisexuals. They're just "hedging their bets". Her self-confessed 'open-mindedness' doesn't stretch that far, apparently.

Personally, if I had a child and they came up and told me that they were gay/bi/whatever, it wouldn't change a thing.

I don't think being bi is much of an advantage unless you decide to stay in the closet and deny it even to yourself. I'd rather be hated than not believed in.

No, they're not just hedging their bets, they're using everyone.:banghead3 Like a ringbox, there is a limit to how far the mind will open...:areyoucra
If one of my kids outed themselves I couldn't care less either way. It's not like they're suddenly a different person just because they're out.

 

[Ori]

As long as their happy, i'm happy.

Well, I've actually been asked this one by my wife. I'm not sure if anyone else has said this on the thread, but I'd disapprove. My wife says she would not - apparently family comes before religion for her. For me it's difficult to say which side would win (please have mercy on me I'm only trying to be honest!). I think that if it were to happen, I'd still be a father to my son but I wouldn't have any boyfriends sleeping in my house (but then I won't be having any girlfriends sleeping in the house either - marriage is the first point at which that is acceptable to me).

I would, unfortunately, have to say that I probably wouldn't accept any boyfriends at all, ever, not even for a brief visit to say hi and I'd certainly let my son know that as far as I was concerned his behaviour was unacceptable. If he were to remain celibate, though, and confide in an attraction for boys to me, then it would make no difference to our relationship at all.

I think when all's said and done I would still love him but couldn't support what he did, but that is no different really (except in the subjective, emotional response, which is my own problem) to the way I'd treat him if he came home and said 'Hey, I've been sleeping around'.
