Pennywise Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Me & the wife have spoke about this in depth recently, as my brother has only just 'come out'. Basically, we concluded that we want them to be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 It isn't a huge deal like it was in previous generations. It isn't illegal, it isn't something people should have to hide because of ridicule. Sadly though there are still people out there with outdated and aggressive attitudes to anyone different to themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primavera Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 My Mother told me when I was 14 that if I turned out to be gay I'd have to live somewhere else because my Dad wouldn't tolerate it. Really dumb conversation to have because even though I'm straight its soured my relationship with them, the idea that what I am means more than who I am is never far from the back of my mind. It certainly taught me how not to communicate with my own children though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Kaiser Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I could never disown my sons If any of them told me they were gay.....that's inhuman.

Guest C00l K1d Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Something i find strange though, is when folk congratulate people on coming out. Maybe its because i've been brought up in a largely accepting society, but i just don't see it as something that you should be congratulated for. It'd be like congratulating me on having blue eyes I understand the stigma that can be attached to being gay, and maybe people feel pressured into keeping it bottled up etc in fear of being ripped about it but i dunno. I see folk wearing the ''I'm gay.. get over it tshirts'' but at the same time i can't help but think ''you're gay.... get over it.'' Completely different story in christian families in america though i suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GforGallo Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I've got two boys and if either of them was gay I couldn't care less. If both of them were gay I'd maybe be slightly disappointed that I wouldn't have natural grandchildren, but I'd still support them and would hope that my relationship with them wouldn't change.

Tazio Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I see folk wearing the ''I'm gay.. get over it tshirts'' but at the same time i can't help but think ''you're gay.... get over it" Every year on the fringe there are lots of shows by young gay people that have no subject matter beyond " hey look at us we're gay and out" the audience is generally lots of their young gay friends. Meanwhile older gay people sigh and roll their eyes at their behaviour being old and sensible enough to realise it isn't doing anything to educate and is instead confirming stereotypes. I also know a lot of gay people that feel the same about pride marches. My point being that it is nothing to boast about, or indeed to be ashamed of. It's just a different way of living your life.

Completely different story in christian families in america though i suppose. I had a weird situation where a family member came out and his mum was telling everyone how she thinks it's great etc and she's so proud, making such a big deal of it not being a big deal. It was a bit awkward everyone sitting talking about his sexuality right in front of him (he's 15). I couldn't care either way but people try to be so accepting they make it awkward at times.

Sharpie Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 If my son had told me when he was sixteen or so that he was gay, I would have been shocked disgusted and totally shattered. I would I am sure have stomped out of the house all discussion closed. His Mum would have talked to him, explained our old fachioned views, and understood my shock. She would probably have told him to go out for a while, even to go and spend the night with one of his friends (non gay) and let her and I talk about this. It would have been quite a conversation, there would be no doubt that there would be a long period of adjustment, but I am sure the fact that we loved both our kids, and to be honest they had adjusted to my many imperfections, that although we would have all wished it to be otherwise, it would have gained acceptance if not total approval.Whatever our problems the door to our house was never closed to our kids.

2NaFish Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 If i had a kid and they told me they were gay i'd be disappointed. They'd have to put up with some numbers of dicks (no pun intended) because of something they don't decide. I'd also be disappointed as my chances of being a grandparent would diminish.

I would not and do not now have the total aversion to Gay that I once had, I know enough people now who have gone through the problem and faced and handled it. Like many of my generation all homosexuals were Queers, they were also seen as perverts. Of course openess of discussion and understanding that genetics,and other entities are the cause has enlightened me. Would I be thrilled, no, would I be disgusted , no, would I be accepting yes, would I totally understand I am not sure. My own not quite so active desires would strictly be for the other sex, I really can't understand wanting another man, but then I am in my body, with my brain and my chemical make up, not theirs.

jamboz Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Saw that video yesterday. Stopped watching after a while. Really despise attitudes like that.

tian447 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I would have to be honest, and would have to say I'm not sure how I'd react, I don't really like the idea of it, but if my future child was totally convinced that it was 100%, I wouldn't disown them in a rage. I'd try my best to understand. I don't think I would ever fully understand it, but I would try. If they were OTT Flamboyantly gay. I might have other viewpoints, but it's their life, not mine., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
