“When I discovered my son, Michael was gay I was devastated. I cried for weeks"

[ogibillm]

i don't want my son to be gay.
i don't want him to be left handed.
i don't want him to go bald at an early age.
i don't want him to be shorter than me.
i don't want him to have developmental issues.

all those things would make life harder on him, and he doesn't have a choice on any of them.
but i'll love him just the same no matter what.

I've yet to hear a parent say "I hope my kid is gay"

After what conservatives want to do to them? No one wants their children attacked.

we have a guy here named Paint my house who says all handicapped people especially little kids should be put down....

Were you reported?

Pulease, I'm a parent and I know dozens of parents and no parent wants a gay kid...way too many issues

So- what would you- or they do if they discover one of your children was gay- you claim your children are both clearly heterosexual- but hypothetically?

Would you beat the gay out of them?
Expell them from your home- and disown them?
Tell them that they are being selfish by being born gay?
Or- do like this father did- and love his child?

I suspect most Republicans would - the first three.

I don't know about that- I never suspected that Dick Cheney would come around once he accepted that he loved his daughter and wanted her to be happy.

That means no GRANDCHILDREN. That would make me sad.

How does being gay mean "no grandchildren"?

Your family line not reproducing would be a benefit to society.

A close family member is currently dealing with this issue and their daughter. They found out by the FB pictures that were posted. They do not go one FB by was told by a friend of theirs so it is hard all around. The "child" lives with them. and they never knew. This is after the child recently divorced from a very short marriage(approximately 2 months)


We are waiting for my drunk of a brother to call her and harrass her over this.

Can break his legs and reset them to make him taller.

Can zap him with a stun gun to get him used to using his right hand.

Can give him drugs to restore his hair.

Can do the stun gun thing to make him straight (or whatever 'gay cure' places do.)
