Mom & Dad, I'm Gay...

[ibecece]

It's so ironic that i came upon this site because my sister and i were discussing this same subject...I will not condone the gay lifestyle if my child came home and told me that they were gay. Yes i would continue to love my child and no i would not disown them, but it is simply not natural. If it was a natural thing then it would produce life, just as the union of man and woman

Me and my sister were talking about how now they are saying that gay people have a gene that makes them gay...this is a bunch of crap...scientists are trying to show that the gay person's brain operates differently...

I have a lot to say so i am trying to get it all out i dont remember who said were were assimilating, but in some way it is true being gay is frowned upon in almost all "ethnic" groups...it is mainly accepted by white people and really this goes back so far because when Romans where to have a big battle all of the soldiers had a big orgy with each other....half of their wives didn't need chasity belts because a lot of soldiers didnt like women...i say it may be engrained...but it is still not natural

all i got to say is i would accept my child's sexual orientation if i ever had one no matter what. i mean it's their lives i cant live it for them and as far as homosexuality being immoral. the only thing i think immoral is the intolerance of it.

Homosexuality will not be permitted in my household at all.If that is what you are then keep it to yourself until you leave my house as an adult.

As a Christian, I disagree with homosexuality, but I'm not one of those zealots that you see on tv, condemning a gay person to hell without knowing what God's plan is for that individual(He could save them before the day is over). I wouldn't disown my child and would love him the same as I do now. I'd remind him of The Word and pray for him.

Do you base your "BELIEF" about it being wrong/immoral in a book called the "Bible" or the "Koran?" Again, Is this why you reference it as an immoral activity?

I could go into a litany of questions about the past and possibly present personal activities of those who like to use immoral in the context of this conversation or any conversation. But I choose to refrain from doing that at this point.

Frankly, none of you have answered these types of questions at any time before anyway.

At any rate, bottom line, WHAT DOES ANYONE KNOW THAT MAKES THEM FEEL COMFORTABLE TRYING TO ARTICULATE THE WORDS HOMOSEXUAL AND IMMORAL IN THE SAME SENTENCE? Mind you, “KNOW” is not the same thing as “THINK” or “BELIEVE” people.

Two of these words insinuate the beginnings of cognitive processes in the human brain without FACTUAL completion.

ONLY one is indicative of a coming full circle within the cognition of a man or woman’s cerebral cortex.

AGAIN, WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

And if you don't "KNOW" anything for sure, then why do you speak so adamantly on the topic as if you "KNOW" beyond a reasonable doubt?

Laughable.

So in other words, if I don't know something, I have no right to have moral conviction on an issue. Please. Faith in a higher power has more to do with beleif than knowledge. I guess following you logic, no one should beleive in a God. Much of how humans do in day to day life is fueled by a cognitive mixture of knowing, feeling and beleiving. That's what makes us so beautiful; that we all can have the same level of knowledge, yet have different feelings and beleifs about an issue. But knowledge is not a silver bullet to cognition. And cognitive activity is an eloquent mix of the three.

On a personal level, I do believe homosexuality is not something God intended. (it specifically says so in the Bible, and I didn't write it... :whistling ) HOWEVER, I think people can be born that way. I've heard of guys knowing since they were young in age, but because they know they are supposed to be liking women, they spend years in denial. Some people do it strictly out of trend, but then there is entirely too much to deal with for most gays to just want to be that way. I don't think they choose being gay anymore than I chose being straight. Who wants to have to worry about 'coming out' to friends & family? Who wants to have to worry about if your parents will disown you or throw you out of the will, or your friends not having anything to do with you? There is entirely too much in the life of a gay person at stake to just want to be that way for the sake of recreation.

Sin is always a choice.

I would have to disagree with that to a certain level. I watched my cousins son grow up and even at a young age he acted like a homosexual. The playing with dolls, polishing his nails, etc. As much as I didn't want to believe it, I knew at some point when he grew up he would be gay. His mom felt as though it was a phase and to this day she doesn't believe it. But I watched him grow into something there's no way he could've knew anything about at 4 or 5. Even when he got older he tried to date girls, but it just wasn't who he is. In certain cases I believe sin is a choice, but not in situations like this.

I don't argue religion but I'll just explain what I meant by what I said. My belief is that there is a "cure" for every sin in the Bible, save one (blasphemy against the Holy Ghost). In order to rid yourself of sin the Bible tells you how to do it. You have a choice to do it or not to do it. That's why I say it's a choice.

i may not accept my child's choice of life style, but that is secondary to him/her being my child. i love them unconditionaly.

i don't believe being gay is a choice; but what is a choice is the person accepting that they are gay. some people lie to themselves, like these bruthas i saw on ophra that was living the "down low" (DL) life style;claiming that they weren't gay even thought they are drawn to having sex with men.
they are in denial, plain and simple.

halloween is against christian beliefs but look how many of us embrace that without any compunction.
