I Would be Ecstatic to Have a Gay Child!

[WatersMoon110]

I don't understand how anyone could hate, let alone abandon their gay child. Personally, I would be overjoyed if my child was gay. Because gay people don't tend to have unintentional pregnancies! Not that I wouldn't be happy to have a straight, bisexual, asexual, transsexual, or intersexed child as well. I hope to love my children for who they are. Also, teach them about safer sex practices, and emphasize using condoms.

I just wanted to see a less negative topic on the first page. *grin* Also, I'm a very bored insomniac.

Although being gay has become incredibly less of a hassle, there are still drawbacks that make it harder to maneuver through society. So, having my druthers, I'd opt for heterosexual children.

Honestly, my biggest worry about being the parent of a gay child would be the potential that they might be abused, either verbally or physically. It's gotten better, but it can still be pretty bad, especially depending where you live.

All for loving your kid for who they are though, I certainly would if I ever become a parent.

That fear that someone would harm my child simply because they were gay is a concern I have for my daughter. However with 3 children I have had distinct concerns for each of them based on their individual traits (both the inborn and the developed, their appearance and their character)

I guess I'm a little odd when it comes to various things about kids though. People are always saying things they imagined about their kids.. how the imagined them with their families as adults and such. I never really understood that type of thing. My husband and I always thought in terms of the kind of people we hoped our children would be as they grew into adulthood. We didn't really share any dreams of them as spouses or parents. I meet parents of gay and lesbian kids who mourn the grandchildren they think they will never have. That's so bizarre to me- not that they might think their child who is gay won't be a parent, but that they so automatically thought their child would have children.

As my kids grow up I find the teen and young adult years to be full of fantastic developments as they grow into their adult selves. They are so different, and so interesting, and I'm so glad I didn't have some list of expectations. Their orientation is probably the least interesting aspect of their developing selves. I mean really it's a fairly safe assumption that they would be attracted to someone along the way.

I wouldn't care if my child was gay, straight, blue, or spotted, I'd just want them to grow to be a good, responsible and compassionate adult. That's all I can hope for. I know that being, or not being certain things can make it better or worse for a person in society, but I wouldn't ask my child to change who or what they are just to please certain people. It isn't right or fair to ask that of anyone (within reason, of course).

As long as they don't become Liverpool FC supporters, I don't care... oh, or fundamentalists. Anything else I can handle.

 

[QuakerOats]

lol Yeah, that would be somewhat of a problem for me if my child decided to go an extremist route, with either religion or politics.

 

[Sycophant]

We've been dressing our son in pink and calling him Maude for three and a half years now - still early days, but we'll see...

Another one due in a week or two, perhaps we'll dress him in camo all the time and replace Little Einstein with Dirty Harry movies... Hmm.

The woman that writes this particular blog is absolutely insane and I feel very sorry for her poor kids.





"When I was in the process of moving and did not have internet access, I often visited a local library to check my e-mail and look at real estate listings. This particular library was in a small town and seemed to be a popular after school hangout for teenagers. One day as I was surfing the net, I couldn't help but overhear a conversation that was going on across the table from me. An openly gay teenage boy who was surrounded by female "friends" was talking about how he had recently had a relationship with a girl. I couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl's parents. Not only was their daughter sexually active, but she had engaged in some very high risk behavior by sleeping with a gay male.

Yes, I've seen the previews for Will and Grace where they're lying next to each other in bed platonically. Isn't that cute? The homosexual agenda wants people to think that homosexual men are safe for women to hang around and even be alone with. Nothing could be further from the truth. The stories about Sodomites in the Bible teach us that they do violate women as well as men. I've also known of people personally over the years who were known as gay yet "experimented" with the opposite sex. The term bisexual is an unnecessary distinction, because a homosexual wants to defile anyone or anything he can get his hands on.

A friend recently sent me this article about a "gay-friendly" high school. If we were living in a biblical society, homosexuality would be punishable by death so such a school would be unnecessary. Although I'm against the special accommodations, perhaps this new trend of segregation will protect straight kids from these predators. With any luck, some radical will blow up the gay school. No, I'm not condoning vigilantism--I'm merely saying that it would be poetic justice."

ARRRGH!!! I just read this on Pharyngula today! This woman needs to DIAF...

I flagged her blog... maybe in enough people do the same then the admins will get on her case about it.

People just make me sick...

 

[QuakerOats]

I agree, OphidiaPhile. It absolutely disgusts me that some people think that way. I can't even stomach any more of that blog.

Another thread promoting homosexuality at Christian Forums dot com.

Uhhhh yeah.

I don't think unconditionally loving a child, even if they do something you don't agree with is promotion.

What do you propose should be done to homosexual children? Beat them? Make them feel bad about themselves? Maybe we could send them all to camps to cure them of their evil tendencies. Or we could treat them like any other child worthy of being loved and cherished.

+1 The gay people that I am privileged to be friends with are some of the most caring and unselfish people I have ever known.

I was going to write something about public bathrooms at night, but I changed my mind.

Did you happen to read the blog post that I put up on the previous page? I know that what ever your feelings are you would never write something as vile and hateful as the woman that posted it.

I follow the Gospel. That means no violence. It also means not supporting gay culture, gay sex, and gay social-political reengineering goals. Even towards children that want to engage in the behaviors and/or promote those that do.

That also means that I pray that people that engage in homosexual sex are healed of the desire, repent of the behavior, and become Christians as described in the New Testament.

I have spoken with many groups and many people like that woman you linked. It is far past time for Christians to stop even commenting on gay issues and even to interact with liberals, and let these people choose their own behaviors and life. What can they do to us really> Take our money through excessive taxation? Ban our Churches? Big deal. They won't anyway. Christians create good healthy children. We know what drives anti-Christians. There is little to fear if they are kept well lighted.

Stand firm on the truth of the Gospel and Apostolic witness. Stand firm to be left out of the promotion of sodomy, sapphic eroticism, debauchery, perversion, lascivious licentiousness, hedonism and the destruction of the family . . . and go on with living a life that pleases God.

This isn't a tough task for Christians. The New Testament is clear on how a Christian should live.

In the world and not of it.

In the Church and of it.

I have been thinking about how to respond to this thread. I was wooried about offending anyone or sounding self rightous. But, it's my opinion anyway.
I have a 12 year old son who I love very much and am very proud of.

At this time he is having problems with his school work. I blame this on lazziness and his desire to be friendly and talk too much. I am upset with him and he knows it. But I still love him and he knows that too.

With that said, I DONOT want my son to be gay. I would be very dissapointed in him if he was. And I would make sure he knew it!
YES I would still love him.

My mother worked for a male juvinile jail. She saw many bad kids. I was not concerned about her feelings and smoked dope and did other drugs. She was from the "I want my children to like me" era. I was 40 years old before I understood how self distructive this way of thinking was. But, she still loved me.

I do not want my son involved with anything that is self distructive. And you cannot make me believe the gay community is not self distructivant less than the drug community is.

For this reason I would make sure my son knew how very disapointed I was if he was gay. I would hate the life style that goes with the choice he made.

But I WOULD STILL LOVE MY SON. As I am loved by my Father in heaven even with the thigns I have done and do.

You're going to get bashed.

Be ready.

Your adversaries do not allow dissent.

Is sodomy between man and woman still considered a sin?
