Re: How would you react if your son told you that he was gay?
i'd be sad that his life was going to be unfairly complicated but i would be fine with it. and i would still misuse the word 'gay'.

Re: How would you react if your son told you that he was gay?
Mine did. I didnt take it very well at first (im glad I heard it throgh my wife first). We have a large fairly close extended family. Tyey are very religious ,catholic and lutheran. I did what I always try to do and read a lot about it. One of the things that helped me was something I read about imageining yourself being attracted to someone of the same sex. After Ifigured out I couldnt be I decided it was something you couldnt control I became very comfortable with it. I am happy to report that everyone in my extended family has accepted it too. We have a close relationship now

I would be bothered. I would also hope that I was understanding. [/ QUOTE ] I think i would be understanding. If he was an only son, I would be dissapointed with no grandchildren and my genetic line being discontinued. |

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] 1. Possibly feel like you failed raising your son 2. Less "manly" 3. or simply uncomfortable with homosexuality. [/ QUOTE ] 1. Why? That is just silly. 2. That is just silly. I wany my kids to be good people, not "manly" or "girlish". 3. That is just silly. What has where his dick goes got to do with anything? I think the people that have a real problem with this are likely homophobic. [/ QUOTE ] Man, I disagree completely. I have a number of gay friends. I go drinking with them. We hang out. When some sports team we are rooting wins the game in the last second, we hug. I have no problem with the fact that they are gay. But at some level the idea of two guys having sex bothers me. I find it hard to believe that that isn't really the case for just about any straight guy. |

Re: How would you react if your son told you that he was gay?
I do have a son and I would be sick if he dropped that on me but I certainly would not disown him or anything, but I would be very disappointed and to be totally truthful I probably could never be around him and his lover at the same time.

Is your stuff about people choosing to be gay a joike? [/ QUOTE ] I have two friends who are identical twins. One is straight. One is gay. Sexuality is affected by nature and nurture (says me). |
