Why not respect them for their solid moral and ethical convictions?

Well, it doesn't change.
It wasn't what my parents wanted either.
So, basically, I fell out of their life for about 20 years, mostly because of the conditional love that they offered.
I had a partner of 7 years. Every time she called, she would ask, "Who was that? Who is Christopher??" When I would remind her, she quickly changed the subject. This went on for 7 years.
They have never come to see me. Not once. Not even when I was living alone for many years.
Not once.
No. I merely taught them that homosexuality is abnormal. I never forced them to date or marry anyone. They can be single, what's wrong with that??Wow, you really don't get it. First of all, you think that I'm going to allow my kids to go over to Grandpa's house so he can load their minds with all sorts of anti-gay BS? I won't do that for the same reason some Christian parents won't put their kids in public school.
Second, and more importantly, did you read what I wrote? You repressed your kid so much with your anti-gay dogma you convinced them that anything but traditional marriage and family is abnormal, thereby delaying the inevitable and causing them to do anything in an attempt to fiil your definition of normal -- including marrying straight and starting a family. And when that doesn't work, they realize what a mistake they made. It's a common theme in the gay population.

I honestly don't understand what is so wrong with being single. What is wrong with just having friends, not a lover?I find it hard to believe that you are really this simple-minded. If you are, honestly, there is no point in further discussion with you. I am finding it increasingly hard to believe that you're not a sock puppet.

So why do always defer to your opinion over that of psychiatrists and scientists that have proven differently?I see it as a much bigger issue, not trivial by any means. It's more than an orientation - it's a lifestyle.
It also says that you don't have to get married. It says something to the effect of if you can't control your sexual urges, get married but if you can, then you don't have to.There are many reasons why a child would try to live the life their parents pounded into them as being the only "normal" life. They may have tried coming out to you, maybe even in a roundabout way and then never mentioned it again because of the negative reaction they got from you. I sincerely doubt you're going to tell your kids to be single, particularly since the book you use to condemn being gay so fiercely also says to "be fruitful and multiply."
Again, it seems you're being deliberately obtuse. Whether it be because you are in such deep denial or something else, who knows.

Why would a child have to follow your beliefs, they may be right for you but wrong for them.I already said this a few pages back, but basically it's being gay (romantic and/or sexual) and not believing it's wrong. It's living in defiance of God.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
There's no choice involved because I'm not dating anyone at the moment, but yes, it is nice not to be forced to have to marry if that's what you mean.So, you at least like having the choice to do this? Having that small bit of control of your life?

My days consist of going to work (in a lab environment)leaving and going to the brewery, eating, maintenance of the snakes, eating, the gym and sleep. Often with meetings, beer festivals, cheese, wine and beer tastings, judging beer ,wine and Scotch whiskey. What would you call that lifestyle?Following God, praying, church, reading the Bible, living for God.
A horrible facial disfigurement is not a sin, so no I would not reject you.
But they are in fact created that way, why can you not accept that?To say you failed as a parent. Makes it sound as though you are in control of them or control everything at all time. And with all do respect! That life style isn't what God created you to become. In role playing. Compared to the natural order of things. That life style isn't your best avenue for living. Their is a lot of desires I have had to nail to the cross at a great cost to me.....
