| How would you react if your son /daughter told you they where gay
Posted: 6/20/2008 8:08:44 AM | | People are born gay and I am 100% sure if homsexuality was wrong God wouldn't make anybody gay. So it should be accepted. It doesn't matter. We only live 80 years and there is no marriage in heaven so what difference does it make over eternity. | |

I'm disgusted by the amount of people that cant see a joke even when its slapping them in the face. Did the LOL after my comment not tip you off? How about the ridiculousness of the comment itself you self-righteous idiot? | |

Oh really? Have you ever heard of free will? You have a choice to sin or not to sin. If we follow your theory there would be no sin because God wouldn't make anybody prone to sin.
Just curious where did you get your degree in Theology?
If this is what you truely believe, I would get a refund on that education. | |

Posted: 6/20/2008 8:34:14 AM | | You have the free will to sin. However, if you are born gay and being gay is a sin you are saying people are sinning from the second they are born. There is no free will attached to sexuality. Why are we straight? Its not a conscious choice we make. | |

Posted: 6/20/2008 8:53:56 AM | | And people are also born with mental disorders that alter their perception of reality, making them think murdering/raping/stealing from 100's of people isnt wrong. How could a person stop himself from sin if he doesnt even recognize it as one?? | |

Posted: 6/20/2008 9:01:43 AM | i wouldnt know how to react, because to me, man being with woman is natural, anything else to me isnt right by my standards ive been brought up to believe. call me closed minded, but that sorta thing isnt right to me, i dont care what sex it is who engages in it.... and to the poster who said they'd be happier if there daughter was gay rather than straight cause of how guys can be, news flash guy; girls do the same things as men do, guys cheat and lie, girls cheat and lie.
i wouldnt like disown my kid or nothing, it would certainly be different tho, but id still love them | |

Uh yes there is.
According to the Bible sex between two people of the same gender is a sin. You can either exercise your free will and give into the temptation and sin, or not. Your choice. But it is a choice, and yes free will does apply to sexuality. | |

Posted: 6/20/2008 10:49:25 AM | this isn't a religious discussion... The bible is a book of stories made up by a council in order to exert control... especially over women.
Get over it. Being gay is not a sin. Go preach elsewhere.
you've stated your points in response to the question but stop derailing the thread about religion. | |

You CAN'T control who you are attracted to. Its been proven that gay men have a similar brain composition to straight women and I have heard of studies between homosexual women and straight men. Its not a choice. Its a physical difference.
And if a person who has a mental disorder and does all those crimes I am pretty sure God wouldn't hold them accountable. Most religions preach of a loving god not this rigid one that all of you seem to believe. Also there is mention of homosexuality between heavenly angels so take what you want from that. | |

No, I disagree ... I also need another religion for fishing ... and one for sex! Gotta pray to the fishing gods and and the sex gods ... the problem is when I pray to the wrong god and the swordfish starts looking at me like I am some kind of beauty! | |

Most religions preach tolerance and acceptance. Its just the close minded bigots who believe its a sin. | |

Posted: 6/20/2008 1:23:31 PM | Reading this thread has only served to remind me to keep the comments I have on my profiles strictly in place no matter how many nasty emails I get accusing me of judging and being intolerant myself. I would rather be accused of being intolerant than be accused of not standing up for what I strongly believe in.
And speaking only for myself, I have even less tolerance for those who choose to hate or condemn a segment of society in the name of their god(s) and/or religious beliefs than for those who do so in the name of ignorance.
And if my bigotry (or intolerance) of intolerance itself makes me a bigot in return, then so be it. I am, and always will be a very proud bigot of hatred and....bigotry.
It makes me very very sad to read that a son (or daughter), but particularly a son if I go by this thread alone, couldn't openly go to his parents about anything (including his sexuality) in this day and age...his own parents for goodness sake...the very people who gave him life and who by default promised to love and nurture their child no matter what.
So for that reason alone, I would try to love my child who came to me with his or her homosexuality more openly and even more unconditionally than before....if that's even possible.
But that's me and those are just *my* own personal thoughts and opinions...to each their own.
JMHO

Posted: 6/20/2008 1:32:29 PM | I would be totally cool about it an supportive..
it's hard enough to be bi/gay/or lesbian in this day in age because thiers so many discrimations an close minded people, or -aka- bible thumpers.. so if a kid knows he or she can go to his family with something like an talk about thier life an sexuality an they know they wont be cursed or turned away,, it's a very warm an comforting feeling.. just the fact knowing you have somebody in your life who will love you an stand by you regardless...
it's hard to work up the nerve to come out to people an or family members because you never know how you will be treated or how they will react to you...while it maybe hard for a parent or parents or friends to undersatnd or deal with them an or the situation.. just think about that other person for a minute an relaize how hard it was for them to come to you an open up.. an how hard it maybe for them because they choose to live thier life the way they want to an are happy an finally comfortable in thier own skin.. not how world see's that they should be living or how the bible says they should go through life... | |

Posted: 6/20/2008 1:45:19 PM | Op I think you handled it wonderfully, and I wish there were more out there like you.
Old soul you rock.
I wouldn't care one way or the other, whatever my child needed to be happy whether it be the same sex or not makes no difference.
Whatever floats your boat as long as no one is being harmed.
I have quite a few gay friends and doesn't bother me when they show affection or are close, I think its sweet and am happy they have found someone who has made them happy. | |

Posted: 6/20/2008 2:12:18 PM | | i would tell them i love them with un-conditional love as "GOD" loves all his children!!! then i would tell them that what they are doing is a "SIN", as stsated in the book of "ROMANS". all the names "MAN" has made-up, lesbian,gay, hermaphrodite,transvestite,homosexual,bi-sexual and fagget. were so in "MANS" eyes all these things and others would be "OKAY"!!! "GOD" in the book of "ROMANS" has no names, he stated man laying with another man is a "SIN"!!! hold her closer in your "HEART" and let her know that if she chooses to live in sin, you may not get to see her in "HEAVEN". i have a older-brother who likes to lay with other men, they are just "SINNERS" like the rest of us!!!
