Re: How would you react if your son told you that he was gay?
I would feel a bit bad because it would make his life more difficult and I would hate that for him. Other than that, I wouldnt care one bit and it certainly wouldnt change how I felt about him.

[ QUOTE ]
[ 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. [/ QUOTE ] Well if I think about my parents having sex, that is one of the most repulsive things possible. But it doesn't concern me in any way.

Re: How would you react if your son told you that he was gay?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I don't think homosexuality is sinful, nor a defect, nor a choice. [/ QUOTE ] From a purely scientific point of view, this is plain wrong. [/ QUOTE ] So any genetic aberration from any genomic line is a defect? What about the defect that increases the presence of a certain antibody in one's body tenfold? Is this a defect by definition? Is it a defect after it saves the person's life in a hypothetical contagious diseases that kills 90% of the population? Being gay doesn't mean an end to one's genetic line on Earth. Your gay son could find some wacky lesbian couple that will have a baby for him and his partner or something. He could donate sperm. He could even find a woman he likes just as much as a guy. The very fact that there are homosexuals producing a (per capita) miniscule number of offspring may be actually GOOD for a biological species or simply a national community. Perhaps homosexuality is a hybrid genetic/psychosocial phenomena that is intended to reduce the overall population of a species, etc. On the other hand, perhaps it's just the result of the numerous layers of abstraction the developing world has introduced between survival and sex. Since the invention of prophylactics, sex was no longer simply associated solely with reproduction, mating, etc.. Hell, look at all the other types of non-procreative sexual activities we have nowadays.. That includes sex with one's own hand! So do I feel it's a defect? I don't know whether or not it is. There isn't enough data to prove that its presence has been detrimental to society. Do I feel it's unnatural? Well.. people do it, so I guess not. Perhaps 'abnormality' fits, simply because it's not a majority behavior.. But that opens the door of calling lefthandedness, having red hair, or any phenotypic minority as an "abnormality."

Re: How would you react if your son told you that he was gay?
My son isn't gay, but he IS a Cubs fan. It was something I knew before he announced it: the caps; the jerseys; the baseball cards; flicking on the TV in the evening and finding it tuned to WGN. (Talk about the advent of cable promoting the corruption of American youth.)
I still love my son. It's the way he is. Furthermore, it is his right to be a Cubs fan, or no fan at all, for that matter. But still, for a long time, I asked myself questions. Was this my fault? Where did I go wrong? And finally: What did I do to deserve this?
