Your grown-up kid is gay

[Monkeytacoz]

i would feel like a massive failure

 

[Ohten]

Shrug, say big deal, and tell him as long as he's happy it's all golden.

 

[WlknCntrdiction]

Hmmmmmmm. I've often thought about this, and honestly I don't really have an answer.
I don't hate gays, I just don't understand them and I would preferably like my kid to not be gay(take away from that what you will)just so it's not a problem.
I know I'm going to ruffle someones feathers with that viewpoint, even though I've tried to be as tactful as possible(grrrr, it burns)with this subject cause it's a shaky one.

I also agree with the guy who said it probably wouldn't be as easy as just saying "Yeah, whatever", you might not go through the thinking process I do(and god do I do alot of thinking at times)but you would still probably be taken slightly aback.

For now, I'm just going to say I don't know. I'm hoping the situation doesn't come around but if it did well.....................not sure. I would be equal parts disappointed and somewhat confused, but I guess they're my kid so I have to love them and support them no matter what, right? :/
Urgh, so many conflicting views.

Nothing. I'm gay myself - if I had a kid, I'd be a damned hypocrite to berate him for being homosexual.

Damn shame you're not down here. One of my workmates is looking for a new boyfriend. That said, being the arsehole I am, trying to set the two of ya up on a date probably wouldn't go down so well.

Once again, you make the assumption that I actually care what anyone says or thinks about me. I'm allowed to be as inconsistent and hypocritical as everyone else. If I've gotten under your skin so much that you think that anything you say to me is going to change who I am, or what I am, or anything like that, sorry. Nice try, but no cigar.

That said, if you were to show up at my place with a slab of XXXX, a copy of army of darkness on dvd and a pack of winnie blues, that's a different story. I'd be far more inclined to view you as something other than a fuel source for my trollflame-tanks.

nah, i was just giving you advice on how to troll without looking like a ******
it annoys me when people try to justify being bellends and pretend they were joking, but you insulted a lot of people and that's on and even now you try to pretend that you're just having a laugh

but if you're really laughing at your replies then you need to get out more
sure, you can view this and laugh to yourself, hold back that tear from your eye because you know i have no idea and this was honestly the response you were after

but we both know you'll just be kidding yourself
so i suppose the real question is this: why is the only way you can get your laughs from shitty trolling that even you dont really find funny?
like i said, id get it if you were making or a point, or if you were genuinely being funny, but you're doing neither

you're just posting for the attention - so congrats, you got a bit of attention from me
was it worth it?

 

[Arkhangelsk]

"Good for you.", would I say.

 

[SilkySkyKitten]

I'd be surprised at first, but in the end it's his/her choice and if they wish to live that way then fine by me. Plus, like a few others have said, I'd be glad they had the courage to tell me and were not ashamed to talk about it to me, as well.

 

[archvile93]

Say, "okay, so when do I meet your boyfriend."

 

[BGH122]

I don't get your point, should a parent have a long conversation with their child about how they have sex with a similar gender? It really is something to shrug off, if a child tells their parent that they're straight, the parent wouldn't care, so why should any parent care if their kid is gay? Because the rest of America isn't "cool" with it?

Come on, you must realise that's ridiculous. That's like saying that we shouldn't bother to give counselling to victims of rape because we wouldn't give it to those who've had consensual sex. It's a lot tougher to be gay than straight simply in virtue of the fact that the majority are straight and, whilst homosexuality is a lot more accepted these days than it used to be, there is still vociferous anti-gay believers in the public. The BNP (here in the UK) are usually quite open about it and, like it or not, every single major religion condemns homosexuality (it's not an adequate rationalisation to claim that followers of the religion don't 'really' think that because if they claim to align themselves with an openly gay-hating religion that's almost as bad as 'really' thinking homosexuality is wrong).

Now I'm not arguing that we need to all be really tolerant and no-one should dare have a controversial opinion, nor am I saying (as my analogy might imply) that gays need 'counselling' to 'cope' with their sexuality, I'm merely saying that a gay child is going to face incredibly different hurdles to a straight child and I'm sure they'd prefer their parents to be behind them and try and help them out.

...I smell hypocrisy...

Good for you? Without elaborating on what exactly is hypocritical about my point your post remains pointless.

 

[Adam]

"Your gay? What a coincidence!"

 

[Steel Ronin]

Well it would probably be something like this:"I am phail and Aids I should brobably kill him because I hate all things Gay,Jewish and etc."(loads his SMG)

 

[Abedeus]

Who said I want a kid?

 

[chronobreak]

What an ignorant douche you are.

First of all, refrain from calling other users names. You've made it clear your only intentions in our community is trolling, however you could at least do so without blatantly breaking the guidelines for the site.

If you call a friend, and the come over and fuck you, and you don't pay them anything, you're a cheapskate. Your friend is still a whore.

I don't understand this. How is the friend a whore? Where is the exchange of goods or services, or money?

 

[JoystickHero]

"I can't believe you used to live in my balls"

If I ever have children, I am going to say this to them at every opportunity.

 

[muffincakes]

Slap the kid. I really would. I mean, come on, why do they think that it needs an announcement? Don't pretend that you aren't gay, and I won't make any assumptions. Announcing that you're gay is like announcing the color of your skin. Okaay, and thanks for that bit of information, which you for some reason felt like throwing at me when I did not ask or indicate that I wanted or needed right now. Oh, and I think I can figure it out when I see you and your partner together.

 

[Danman1]

Shoot him. I need a child to carry on my doom seed through generations.

 

[The Hairminator]

See if I could do anything to turn him straight again. If that failed I'd have to accept it.

 

[MurderousToaster]

I have a child? Oh Shit!


I'd sort of... I dunno.

I'd just sort of say it's OK.

 

[DigitalSushi]

Nothing. I'm gay myself - if I had a kid, I'd be a damned hypocrite to berate him for being homosexual.

I sense difficulties in you pro creating.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Ffs, why do you think I care what you have to say about me? Here's an idea, if you think you have something to say about me that I haven't either already thought about myself or been called to my face by people far better than you, then have a second think about posting it. I have a very (un)healthy ego and a very high sense of self-esteem. Nothing any one says or does will alter my opinions, my thoughts, or my feelings towards myself. Get over it already. I may be a flamer from time to time, but I'm well and truly flame-proof. The harder you flame, the harder I laugh.

Stop posting shit about my sometimes nonsensical, rambling, hypocritical and sometimes offensive comments, and get back to the frakking topic at hand, which is: What would you do if your kid announced he/she were gay?
