Parent’s Teach Children Not to Judge Others
Parent’s teach children not to be judgmental of others, so why is it when you tell your parents that you are gay, they get upset and ban your partner from family events and their home.
This is a common occurrence that is seen every day. Parents have a hard time not being judgmental of your partner. Parents want to know why this happened to you. They want to know why you choose to live like this.
Parents strike out at the person you choose to be with because they do not want to believe that you, their child is gay. They think that it is easier to blame this person for “changing” you rather than accept you for the person you are.
Being gay is not a choice per say. You have a choice to tell people you are gay, but being gay is not bought on because someone made you change. This person you want to be with just allowed you to express yourself in a way you felt you could not before.
Parents should not say to their children, “I love you” and then in the same sentence cry and slam the partner that you have chosen. Parents should love unconditionally.
If your parent enjoyed the company of your now admitted partner before, but now wants nothing to do with this person because he or she is gay and your same sex partner, then they are judgmental and not practicing what they taught you.
They are allowing the word, “gay” to overwhelm their good senses.
