How would you feel if your child was gay?

[Redway]

I know a lot of people support gay rights and all but a lot of the time things are much different when this sort of thing is a little closer to home...

What would be your reaction and would you be happy with it?

[Marc]

Wouldn't care, as long as they were happy and healthy. That's all that matters

[Black Dagger]

It'd be a bit wrong of me to kick off wouldn't it? HA.

If I adopted and they told me they liked their same sex, I'd be fine obvs. :tongue:

[Mystic Mock]

I would be shocked at first, but I think I could get used to it over time.

[MeMyselfAndI]

I'd be fine with it:)

[Redway]

I wouldn't be pleased about it at all but no one chooses to be gay. I'd probably be proud of him for having the balls to tell me.

[Marcus.]

i would noy care

[Locke.]

Not good. Wouldn't be one of those that disown the kid and stuff but I'd not be pleased about it.

[Shaun]

Fine. A little bit scared and eager to make sure he/she isn't being bullied or persecuted for it, but no real difference.

[Marc]

Tbh this thread is just ready to explode when somebody says they'll be unhappy

[Ramsay]

would not give a ****

[Redway]

I know gay people can adopt and all that but it's not the same as actually having children the normal way and I wouldn't classify adopted children to be grandchildren.

[Jayson]

I would probably be a bit surprised and it would take some getting used to, but I'd be fine with it

[Redway]

Tbh this thread is just ready to explode when somebody says they'll be unhappy

Well, you can't, can you? You don't choose it on yourself but that doesn't mean anyone has to like the idea or see it as ... err ... normal. Because it's not.

[Jessica.]

Wouldn't be bothered really.

[Black Dagger]

I know gay people can adopt and all that but it's not the same as actually having children the normal way and I wouldn't classify adopted children to be grandchildren.

I know it isn't, but I'd raise them as if they were actually made from my essence, any spunk can make a baby, but it takes a Man to actually be a Dad.

Oh god, I'm getting flashbacks from the time Patrick said he'd be okay if his daughter was gay because she'd have lesbian sex in his house, but he wouldn't be okay with a gay son. http://rationalwiki.org/w/images/8/87/Scared0005.gif

Define 'normal', because in terms of nature it's natural in hundred of species of animals, and in mankind it's not chosen and is entirely 'normal'.

You're confusing normality with majority.

Oh god

[lostalex]

Well i think all parents have a secret fantasy that their children will be as much like them as possible, so of course i'd love it. I think it would be fantastic to be able to share that struggle with them. but I'd obviously love a str8 child just as much. I don't think it would be a huge deal, but of course you imagine your child is gonna be like a little mini you, so it would be nice if they were gay.

actually it is the same. I can tell you, cause i'm adopted. (by str8 parents just to clarify)

[GypsyGoth]

No, I wouldn't mind if my child was a polar bear.

[lostalex]

No, I wouldn't mind if my child was a polar bear.

aww, baby polar bears are soo cuddly!

[Marc]

Omg its so small, I thought it would be a least like a normal human baby size

[GypsyGoth]

Awwww :lovedup:

[lostalex]

I love how Redway says "the normal way", i wonder if he actually knows what the normal way actually is in a world where there are over 50% divorce rates?

Having multiple mommies and daddies and step-family and half-brothers and half-sisters IS the NORMAL way these days, so i really wanna know what red way thinks is "the normal way"?? lol

[Adele Wigglesworthit]

depends how gay, and I don't think I could accept a transgender child

[Mystic Mock]

depends how gay, and I don't think I could accept a transgender child

I've got to admit that I don't know how I would react to that.

[Lee.]

"how gay" ?
What dies that mean?

[Adele Wigglesworthit]

"how gay" ?
What dies that mean?

Well alot of people are homophobic and if I had a child who was very gay acting I'd be worried for his/her safety. As a parent the worst thing imaginable is one of my kids being harmed

[Mystic Mock]

"how gay" ?
What dies that mean?

She's saying it depends how camp her child is.

[Shaun]

only problem with a transgender child IMO would be having to fork out for two wardrobes :bored:

[lostalex]

Someone should start a thread "How would you feel if your child was a brony?" lol

if you had a 30 y/o son living in your basement with a giant star wars collection and obsessed with My Little Pony how would you feel? What about when you find the brony porn?

lol


Let's face it. Kids are going to disappoint you, always. If you have expectations you will be disappointed.

I'm sure 99% of us would love and care for our child no matter who or what they are. It's a short life, and you're an idiot to waste it being angry or resentful.

I hope my kids are surprising and creative and nothing like what i expect, cause that means i can learn something from them. (but deep down i'll still hope they wanna be like me)

[lostalex]

you do realize that's the same excuse people used against inter-racial children right? they will be rejected by both races, no one will understand, they will be bullied, i just wouldn't want a child to have to face that kind of discrimination...

it's like the civil rights movement never happened.

[Marc]

OMG what "how gay"

On a scale of 1 to Alan Carr, how gay are you?

[Mystic Mock]

It would take me 50 years before wanting kids as I want to have some fun first lol.

But if they was a geek of anything I would be happy as that's like me a little bit, and at least they will have knowledge of something which is better than having no knowledge at all.

:joker:

On topic, I dont think it would bother me at all, except for worrying more about the child possibly being bullied. I would be very proud that they had told me though rather than bottling it all up inside as clearly I have done a good job of parenting :)

[Redway]

Maybe I shouldn't have used the word 'normal' here but I meant two people of the opposite sex together and reproducing...

[Saph]

I'd love a gay child, but I'd want a straight one of the same sex as well, just so I have 1 of each

[Mrluvaluva]

It seriously would not matter. You cannot change someone and who would want to? Their happiness and well being is most important. I got reminded of this for some reason...

[lostalex]

I should ask my Dad about this next time we talk. I really wanna ask him now, when he first suspected i was gay, and how he felt about it. I'm sure he will give me a PC answer, but still, it would be interesting.

[Black Dagger]

OMG what "how gay"

Roughly a 5 I reckon.

[Mystic Mock]

I bet my parents think im gay as I never talk about fancying any girl around them lol.

[thesheriff443]

a great way to get a reaction from gay people is to say.
gay people are just straight people with problems.lol
thats a joke by the way.

[thesheriff443]

There's actually something out there that can make your browsing private?

[lostalex]

clearing your history probably makes them just think it even more lol "why is he clearling his history? he's hiding something!"

we all know if you try to look at someone's history and it's blank, they are definitely hiding something.

[thesheriff443]

There's actually something out there that can make your browsing private?

yes!
click on safety then in private browsing comes up,cick on it then open a tab up and no history will be saved on you pc.

[Mystic Mock]

Alright thanks, I will test it out.

Plenty of stuff.:devil:

[Redway]

You sort of remind me of me at your age, Mock. Think I deleted my history and then filled it with BBC Bitesize French to give my parents the impression that I was studying in case they ever looked...

[Mystic Mock]

Not a bad cover up Redway, I just use some Gaming sites as my cover up.

[Black Dagger]

Meh... I don't delete my history.

If my Dad sees two guys screwing it's his own fault for being a nosy bastard. :idc:

I suppose you have a point, but parents are always gonna be nosy like that, although I don't think my parents are the worst for it as I have the Laptop near me most of the time.:joker:

[Harry!]

I would be fine with it, it is their life and therefore it should be their decision alone on who they are attracted to.

[Ninastar]

I'd kick them out

[Mystic Mock]

I'd kick them out

Surely this is a joke because aren't you gay yourself?:joker:

I know the correct term is lesbian before anyone nitpicks lol.

[thesheriff443]

i have a lot in common with lesbians:joker:

[the truth]

it wouldnt concern me, the only disappointment would be no grand kids. then again they could always adopt. I think its a matter thats long been dealt with. if youre gay, good for you, so what? its who you are as a person that counts. its time we spent far more time and energy devoted to other minorities, especially the vulnerable ones, the poor, the sick, the elderly and the disabled. who are treated shoddily in this country. despite the efforts of hard working carers and parents acrosss the nation. the standard of care in care homes is often disgraceful and very inconsistent. the oportunity for disabled is still very very poor, disabled access is appalling in most places. especially lack of disabled toilets. not to mention the bullying they suffer , to add to their physical, mental and emotional pain ,the list goes on. more money and time needs to be spent addressing the abuse of the sick, poor , elderly and disabled

[Ninastar]

It's not a joke. there's only room for one gay in my house and thats me

[Mystic Mock]

[joeysteele]

If I ever get married and ever have Children, this would not make a single bit of difference to me, I have many gay friends, there are gay people in my family and for me someones sexuality is their own affair.

I would neither be shocked or in the least bothered about it,I would just care for them and love them as much I did before I knew.

[Mystic Mock]

One thing I would respect them for is having the guts to tell me, as I would imagine it being tough.

[GypsyGoth]

i know all about confessions. i came on here and admitted ive got a fetish for german shot putters

[Gillian-73]

Nothing to do with Gay or not now for a minute. I was adopted when i was just six months old, my parents (i have never called them my adopted parents because they are my parents in all the important ways. DNA does not make a parent) My older brother was also adopted and has recently had a baby, my mum and dad are his grandparents and have got every right to call themselves that! We also have a younger brother who is their own and they love us all as much. Always treated us the same way.

[Gillian-73]

Back to the topic lol i wouldn't care in the slightest but i would worry they may face a lot of crap because of it from other people. Unfortunately to many people still seem to have a problem with being gay.

[InOne]

I wouldn't care as long as they didn't have a personality transplant as soon as they came out.

[Niamh.]

I suppose I would worry that they might have a harder time in life because of it but other than that I love my kids and they are who they are, so as long they're happy, I'm happy

[Niamh.]

Very true. It's easy to conceive a child, the parenting doesn't happen till you raise that child.

[Benjamin]

I've never had much stick for being gay, I know some gay guys have had tough times, but not all. It's just (un)luck of the draw, like any person who gets bullied.

Obviously I wouldn't care if my child was gay, but I wouldn't encourage them to be an OTT flouncy gay just because that is how so many expect them to be.

[Legend killer]

Depend what type of gay he is. Is he the OTT Louis bloody spence gay who puts a lisp on or is he just your normal every day guy who likes to have his angus peppered. If option B i could learn to live with it over time

[Vicky.]

Definitely agree with these.

I actually dont understand how so many seem to change after coming out. My best mate was one of those...he was never really 'manly' as such, but once he came out he was a totally different person, screeching, flouncing around, calling everyone honey/babe...basically the stereotypical gay person that everyone expects. I have got used to it now, but it was a big shock to see how much he changed.

[Black Dagger]

OMG, yeah I've seen plenty do that.

People expected me to do the same, they were all like 'Luke (why don't they call me Lucas, like I ask?) why aren't you skipping?' I was like oh god.

[chuff me dizzy]

I think most parents would know long before they were told if their child was gay

[fruit_cake]

it wouldn't bother me at all, apart from worrying that I might not get any grandchildren.

See some gay guys are naturally camp, I can deal with that, but yes, those that suddenly become this horrid, little, bitching skank-***** because they think it's what they should be annoys me.

I'd quite like those little 'fags', with their new designer flamboyant weaves, mince into a large bus.

[fruit_cake]

I suppose if you've repressed something for so long it's only natural it bursts out
