How Parents Handle Finding Out Their Child Is Gay
Most parents love their children unconditionally. However, some parents turn away from their children and leave them alone when they need a family. These parents for one reason or another cannot love their children unconditionally. It is hard to understand how a parent could do this to a child. There are parents who have children that steal, kill, do drugs and many other criminal acts, but they stand behind their children and never give up on them or stop loving them.
So what is wrong with parents that turn their backs on their children after finding out they are gay? Chances are they have a disease called closed minded. They are unable to open their minds to any other way of living than what they consider appropriate. These parents only have one way of thinking and if their children do not live the way they feel is appropriate, they no longer want to associate with that child.
I for one cannot understand what the big deal is about people being gay. They are still people with separate personalities. Just because they prefer same sex relationships does not make them different. All it means is that they have a different type of relationship than what others have. It is sad when parents reject their child because they are gay. They gave birth to them not knowing their sex (in some cases) or if they would have a medical condition (in most cases). Parents also give birth to children without knowing if they are gay.
Did you here about the man that killed his three-year-old son because he thought he was gay? The father used to try to beat the gay out of the baby boy. The boy died and the father is in prison. What in the world makes someone do this or even think this of a small child?
Society does. Society encourages senseless killings.
What do the people such as the AFA say about killing? Are they proud of the killings they are making happen? Are they proud they are making people bigots and discriminators? Don’t cults take on roles of brainwashing their followers to believe what they want them to believe? Maybe someone needs to take a look at that angle.
Did you see the young kids boycotting McDonalds in the video a few days ago? How did they become the boycotters? Where were the adults? Why do they use kids to protest?
My one friend still hasn’t told his parents he’s gay and he’s 28 years old out of fear they’ll disown him.
I don’t know what the big deal is either. Often your kids don’t live up to what you had in mind for them. But when it comes to sexuality, you can’t map that out for them. Mind your bedroom business I say!
And of course, you’ve been tagged. Come check me out and then follow the rules. I’m nosy! LOL!
My brother recently came out to my parents, and my mom didn’t take it as well as I thought she would. They both know that my brother’s still the funny, friendly guy he’s always been, but my mom thinks (and hopes) that it’s really just a fad.
I am posting my story tomorrow about how I found out. I must say it did not surprise me. I don;t know why, but it was like no big deal. No more until tomorrow.
Parents should love their children no matter what. In fact, if more parents did this to begin with, I think we would have a nicer, more accepting world to live in!
