What would you do....

[Captain Hindsight]

if you found out your son was gay? This was recently brought to my attention because someone in my chorus class recently came out of the closet, and his dad was very upset. I was just wondering what you all would do if this kind of situation occurred for you. (Feel free to delete this thread, if you think it is unnecessary.

wow, that's a deep one.....

i would be pissed at first, but i'm sure that since its my son, i would calm down.

I would still love him deep down, but I'm not sure how accepting I would be. Something like you'd see in Desperate Housewives out of that kid's mother.

Get loaded.

Depends on how old the kid is.

Under eight, and I just throw him away and start over.

Under twelve, and I lock him in a room and force him to watch football and The A-Team.

Under sixteen, I beat the hell out of him, then lock him in a room and force him to watch football and The A-Team.

Under twenty, I tell him, "If I were you, I'd reconsider, because the kids at school are going to beat the hell out of you. Your call, though."

Under twenty-four, I tell him, "If I were you, I'd reconsider, because the kids at college are going to beat the hell out of you. Your call, though."

Past twenty-four, I tell him, "You're a big boy now. You want the cock, you can have it. Just don't...you know...talk to me."

Well that goes without saying.

 

[LoKyBuckeye]

too hard to say without it really happening (and it will NEVER happen to me )

I con't think he would think of this as punishment. After all you're giving him plenty of me time and material

I'd think to myself... hmmmm... "that's why he was in a chorus class to begin with." and then I'd think... hmmm... "Maybe if I call his classmates' parents, we can form a support group."

Only you would look at it that way

More seriously, my best friend is gay and if I had a son that turned out like him, I could only be proud. Really, when it comes down to it, your relationship with your child is more important than who he has sex with and how he does it. It really isn't your business, as long as he isn't hurting himself. I have two daughters and I know that I wouldn't love either of them any less if they turned out to be gay. To the extent that doing so is a choice, it may make life more difficult in certain ways, but I would have to respect their rights to make such a decision and support them as my daughters, even if I didn't agree with the decision.

Plus, in Ohio, you save a lot in wedding expenses.

Well of course not. It's different if it's a girl.

Good post. I'm with you. If he were gay I wouldn't love any less. People are people, and people have the right to make personal decisions. If I start judging, God may be pissed and think I'm trying to phase him out. My point is- who am I to judge?
