would you want your son or daughter to be gay?

[BugsyB]

its fathers day here in a few days, so i was just wondering....lol

i know my dad didnt want me to be gay...but he's ok with it

 

[richym]

I would want my kids to be whoever they are, and to be happy with that. They should be proud to be themselves, not fitting in to some structure. So I would be absolutely fine with it.

if i had kids or as to other people with kids--i would want then to be whatever their emotions let them to be--not what i would want them to be---and be happy for them in being so

 

[Askani]

Meh, I wouldnt really care but... I dunno... I'd be really worried if they ended up being even if a bit like me O_O I was restless when I was a teenager and I think I'd go crazy if my kids were too...
But other than that I wouldnt mind... I just wouldnt like my kids to be emo maybe, not the adorable ones, but the U DONT LOVE ME! type... I think I'd open the window and say... go ahead -_- jk

Totally! To add on I would support them and just be there for them... basically being an awesome parent!

Absolutely not if they live in my part of the world... otherwise I have no problem with that...

And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, "Speak to us of Children."
And he said:
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

I agree, except I would be less than happy about them being 'proud' of who or what they are. To my mind, pride does more damage than good. I think I would be happy if I discovered that they were content with who and what they were.

That said, none of us can choose our sexuality - if only we could! If I had had the ability to choose my sexuality, I would never have chosen to be gay. Life is much harder as a gay man than ever it would have been as a straight man. In many ways, gay people have to learn to live with themselves and to accept that they will never be like their str8 friends. We just don't fit in to 'normal' society - even today when there is a much wider level of acceptance in the world - but hey, I am getting maudlin.

Time for bed, methinks!

no.......offcourse not
when the reality is his/her fate, so i will support her/him with all my heart

 

[name_1]

JOY! the world is not doomed with narrow minded people after all!! maybe its due to us knowing how dumb not accepting is that we strive to accept others... still its happy to know that!

 

[umpalumpa]

I honestly don't think it makes a difference... at least, not any more.

How about... healthy with two arms and two legs will do nicely.

I totally agree with you. It doesnt't make and should never make a difference. Also nobody has the right to force sb. to be something. Everybody should decide whatthey are and their family have to agree with their decision. It shouldn't be about I wanto my son/daughter to be whateve gay or not. If I ever have children all I want is that they will have a happy life.

But if you ask me I dunno yet if I wanna have children. Maybe someday but can't tell for now.

 

[BugsyB]

personally.....I DONT WANT TO THINK ANYMORE!!! it depresses me lol

 

[rant17]

waaaaay too young to even think about kids, maybe after uni???

 

[brmstn69]

It wouldn't bother me either way if my son were gay or straight...

My daughter on the other hand, no way would I want her to be gay...

I mean, how could I steal her boyfriends if she was a lesbian?:devil:

 

[siapasaya]

Even though I want some supports from my friends, those who already knew that I was a gay, I thought being a gay is not right, I don't want to be like this if I could, that's why sometime I hate myself, and I don't want my kids to be that way. I couldn't let my children (If I had any someday) to be gay.

However, I do support them if they were, because I know what it feels to be gay, discriminated, rejected and bullied by people. I will love them for they are...

 

[mrduke]

were I graced to be a father, I would want my children, encourage my children to be exactly whom they are supposed to be. I wasted almost 20 years trying to be everything to everyone, and nothing to whom I was....

At 54 years old with both my father and mother dead and gone I have to agree, if one is to have children, be kind and PLAN. Wouldn't anyone want as much time with offspring as the good Lord grants? I came from older parents and the childish stuff took up so much time away from becoming the friends we should have been all along.....
