What would you do if your kid was gay?

Would you care, support and love your kid? or would you forget all about that kid?

   I was talking about it with my mom… and she said to me “I dont mind a gay son”, she let me know she will always be proud of me no matter what, no matter what I will always be her son. It was nice, its reassuring hearing your parents tell you that, it lets you know you will never fail them, it gives you a feeling of hope. I am greatful to have a mother like her, to know she will always stand by my side, to know she will always love me. I know many parents of homosexuals who deny their existence, parents who abuse of their kids, physically and mentaly, just because he or she is gay. If you think about it, imagine how homosexuals would feel even at their home, we could use the abuse of black people and racism, they could feel unsecured on the streets but never at their homes, or feel fear of their family (of course there is always the exception but its not the norm), homosexual feel fear everywhere. I am not here to judge thous who are homophobic or parents who deny their kids, but instead of thinking of the shame, or God’s wrath, instead of judging others I suggest start thinking of how the others feel, start thinking that God is the only one allow to judge. God said love each other and dont judge maybe we should start letting people live their life and helping thous in need.

  But as we kept on talking about homosexuality, love, parent ship and other stuff, it came the topic of gays and being parents. She told me gays wouldn’t be able to take care of kids, thats not normal, and it would create some sort of emotional turnboil that will affect the kids. And well she is human and I mean wow a mother who would not care about a homosexual son it is a blessing but it kind of shocked me, you dont care if I am gay, bi or a transsexual but you do care if a Gay person wants to have kids? why?. She kept on trying to explain to me how she though it would affect the kid, having same sex parents, looking at those kind of lifestyle. But I think ”Dont every marriage, single parents, homosexual, heterosexual, PEOPLE at the end, everyone has problems?” I mean in some way or the other life it self marks us and affect us. Everywhere and every kind of person has trouble and they still marry and have kids. Here is something I found doing research on Gay parenting: Why gay marriage should be illegal.

  1. Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control are not natural.
  2. Heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. Infertile couples and old people cannot get legally married because the world needs more children.
  3. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children because straight parents only raise straight children.
  4. Straight marriage will be less meaningful, since Britney Spears’s 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.
  5. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and it hasn’t changed at all: women are property, Blacks can’t marry Whites, and divorce is illegal.
  6. Gay marriage should be decided by the people, not the courts, because the majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected the rights of minorities.
  7. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are always imposed on the entire country. That’s why we only have one religion in America.
  8. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people makes you tall.
  9. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage license.
  10. Children can never succeed without both male and female role models at home. That’s why single parents are forbidden to raise children.
  11. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new social norms because we haven’t adapted to cars or longer lifespans.
  12. Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because a “separate but equal” institution is always constitutional. Separate schools for African-Americans worked just as well as separate marriages will for gays & lesbians.

     I think homosexual parents would do better than heterosexual, because they give it for granted, something they think they could do when ever, it is something that maybe they dont appreciate the joy and bless of being parents, thats why they abuse and dont take good care of their kids. I believe gay parents would be grateful and appreciate much more the bless of having kids something heterosexual have had for granted, at the end if a homosexuals have kid,which most of them will want to do, they are not gay because they want to avoid getting pregnant or getting someone pregnant. This is another point people think about, just because they are homosexual DONT mean they dont want a family and kids, if they have kids is because they really want to, they want to give love to a child, to be able to be there for them, to be able to love them and make them better people for this world. To support and to love, what more reason to be a parent that that.

For information on studies of homosexual parenting and how it affects the kids, here they have a bit of information http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_parenting#Fitness_of_parents or do some search on google there is alot of information.

    I still can’t believe your mom. lol I mean, I see where her concerns would come from but the reasonings behind said concern are just…stupid.

    I’m so stealing those 12 points from you. :P

  2. I still cant believe my mom either, but I gave her THE talk, funny like you with your mom… your never too old to know about sex.

  3. Very well put – if I could think of a way to anonymously send your post to my partner’s mother I would. Of course, it would have no effect whatsoever – as you know, some people are so set in there ways they can’t see past the lack of logic behind their arguments.

    –a GAY parent (and believe it or not, my kids are STILL normal – even by society’s standards!)

  4. Jajaja there sure are stubborn people, I mean the mother of my best friend is still hard headed. Its funny how people seems not to be able to open their minds. But I will do my part in socity and as a future psychologist to do my best and try to open peoples mind and coincience.

    Btw Hyposomnia thanks for writing on my blog your the first one to do so. hopes to see you sround.

  5. Those 12 “reasons” on homosexuality was bliss for my eyes.
    XD
    You should send this to your mom.

    I don’t think a child will be confused on whether being homosexual or heterosexual if he/she has same sex parents. On the contraire, they will be able to love people for who they are and not for their sexuality. And the upside is there will be less gay-bashing and homophobes in this world. But hey that could also be achieved if this “world” weren’t so dull-minded.

  6. I already send it to my mom… she was kind of surprised and we where able to talk more about it, plus I used my psychologist card jejeje.

    very well put, being a homosexual parent wont affect a child in any way but maybe that it will expand his/her view of people and tolerance. But straight parent could teach that to their kids also.
