Hypothetically speaking. What are you going to do IF your daughter or son will come out to you? Are you going to blame the parents, society or genes?

What, no healthy confrontation? I thought so…

I think Papa M is funny, he must think his bigotry is genetic because he acts as if it is normal behaviour and should be accepted.
Well Papa M, I can tell you this bigotry is about closed minded hate. Being Gay is about love.
Last I heard, a very wise man some 2000 years ago talked a whole about this subject and said alot of beautiful things about love. He also said alot about judging people and hate.
Funny thing though, he never talked about gays.
Almost seems like it was not a big deal or something...

It happened to me. I discovered my stepdaughter was involved in a relationship with another girl. We let her know we loved her, but we wouldn't support her choice. We told her if she was adult enough to have sex, then she was old enough to live on her own. She wasn't a child anymore. I had two other kids that didn't need to be around that lifestyle.
It was hard to sit back. She wrecked 3 cars, went bankrupt at 19. But that was her life. We told her that where she was in life at that moment was because of every decision she made to that time. If she wanted a different life, she would have to make different decisions.
It took a few more years before she broke it off with her gal pal. She wanted to change her life around, and we helped. Now she's got a good job, and is engaged to a nice young man.
This is a true story. None of it is made up. Today she states that her sexuality was her choice. We're glad that we took our stand and believe we did the right thing. Some parents would just accept their kids choice and would not act to correct the problem.
But why? Parents wouldn't just give their kids the keys to the car and tell them what ever you do is fine, why do this with a kids sexuality? Parents need to guide their kids through life, that their job.
And I would like to share this experience with everyone because I want them to know that whom you have sex with is not predetermined, it's a choice you make.

Very good question, as a hetro myself i would like all my offerings to follow the natural order, since being a disease of the brain it is natural to have their brains checked.
Many gay men try to act like women and their actions but the way they act they are not mimicking the women it is obscene and completely bonkers "mad"

Sorry not under that label but thought I would answer for I have been called bigot so often that I think I am qualified to speak.
I would blame myself and society.
But I would love her and support her none the less. I do not have to condone her to love her.
I just hope I am raising her well enough that the qualities I instill override the lies that society is telling her.
What does genetics have to do with it?
Oh yeah, that whole, I am not accountable for my own behavior, I was born this way thingy.
I almost forgot.
How was that Spectrum?
Motty, Of course it is not a big deal. Thats one of the points I keep trying to drive thru but my voice falls on deaf ears.
You may be able to perceive some contempt in my words and you would be correct.
But it is contempt for misinformation and double standards.
Perhaps that is why some find me so offensive. Because I am not attacking their sexuality but rather their way of thinking.
