How would you react if your son told you that he was gay? - Page 4

Most people can be accepting and considerate to those not of their sexual preference. When it's your own child it is probaly more difficult but their love for their child should overcome any ill feelings. But to say we have to be comfortable with it is ridiculous.

Is your stuff about people choosing to be gay a joike?

We'll have to disagree then. I agree that people can choose to perform gay acts, but that doesn't make them gay. When a straight girl makes out with another girl at a party, that doesn't make her bi or lesbian. She's just performing a lesbian act.

This was the same issue that came up in the would you suck the guy's thing for 1 million bucks thread. I think that most people would. Everyone has a price. But if a straight guy did it to another guy for one million bucks then it wouldn't make him gay imo.

This stuff about the biological line being severed is not a big deal imo.

There are lots of straight people who can't have kids because of fertility issues. So they adopt. Gay people can adopt kids too in most states so the family line will still continue, just not biologically.

I'm not sure I agree with this. There is plenty of proof that abuse, verbal or physical, can easily cause sexual dysfunction. There were several people I grew up with that were very poorly treated as a child. Even at the age of 6 their parents/older sister would dress them up in female cloths. I remember very clearly seeing that boy in a dress when I was a child and hearing someone say "Man, that kid is going to end up being gay some day". I was so young at the time I had to ask what gay meant.

Do not underestimate the effects of abuse (verbal or physical) on a developing mind.

EDIT: Ok story is a poor arguement, but it's true. The links between abuse and dysfunction are well known though.

Wacki, you are just digging yourself a deeper and deeper hole. That's all I am going to say.

There is definetly a double standard here. You are correct that when a straight girl makes out with another girl, it doesn't make her lesbian or bi. It is however a lesbian act. On the other hand, if a guy made out with another guy at a party, there would be no question in the minds of almost everyone there that both men were gay. I am speaking about society viewing a person as gay btw, not a person's actual hormonal tendencies.

[/ QUOTE ] for the record, I never said I felt that way, rather that people could fell that way. As for what you said, you are starting to take this discussion down the road of right and wrong, natural and unnatural, and I don't want to discuss any of that again, but I will say one more time that your stance is totally idealistic.

if a guy sucked a mans dick for free, then he is atleast bi, but most likely gay.
