How not to react when your child tells you that he's gay

When did you choose to be straight?

 

Well, that train came right on time.

 

What are God's words on homosexuality in the New Testament? You said there was no disputing them, but I thought the New Testament is rather vague when it comes to denouncements on homosexuality.

 

Wait, what? So Christians don't have to follow the terrible parts of the bible that are in the Old Testament..... so the part of homosexuality being an abomination should be discarded as well?

Although I do agree with not being judgmental to a certain degree, parents being that way to their own children is disgusting. It has nothing to do with religion, just their own reputation.

 

Any news on what happened when news outlets contacted the parents?

 

Why do some gay people have a gay sounding voice? I could never figure that out. It's like they have their own dialect.

 

Lavender linguistics

 

I think it's just that simple. Like, do you get a boner from looking at boys or girls? I don't see how that could possibly even be a choice.

Could the parents really be that surprised and pissed when their kid came out gay with that lispy voice? Lol

 

It seems highly complex. The next question would be is it forced or natural? I mean...I can force myself to talk with a British accent using words from a local dialect...but it would be forced.

If someone actually talks a certain way and it is fake, then that person is misrepresenting a natural characteristic that makes them who they are. I can understand an actor doing it for a role but in real life? That would be lame IMO.

 

Okay. So god realized he was wrong during Old Testament times and changed his mind. That almost sounds like the scientific method.

 

All of it is ridiculous.

 

You give all children a test. You put them in between a GI Joe & a Barbie Doll, and see what happens. That is how sexuality is measured.

 

For almost all people around the time of puberty...When they desire one gender more attractive than an another...Please do not discount how the human body physiologically reacts to hormones...Just because the question is a novel idea, doesn't mean there isn't an answer...

 

There can be choice to do straight or gay acts for some. Sexuality can be masked through those deliberate choices. That's partly why violence against gay men is harsher in particular because they can't get it up and because society has forced men to take a more assertive role.

Regardless of gender, we're at a point in society where if you don't want to live a lie then you're more capable not to then in the last 200 years.

The whole argument if choice and not choice is a wedge for people who feel a need to cast a quick and meaningless judgement in order to rationalize some sense into an area they aren't forced to live through.

For gays, they're probably considering that issue after the fact because it's something they're mostly unable to control or hide

 

The kid seems like a manipulative twit. Can't believe he's getting paid $$$$.

 

it is very simple to understand. He's getting money because a lot of people don't think he is a manipulative twit. Giving money is the ultimate internet "Like" buttton.

 

It's especially jarring with the Southern accent 'cuz as a guy you just subconsciously imagine him getting his ass whooped. Some completely straight people have that same voice, and hot girlfriends.
