What is it with these Gay Rights people
-
Every prejudice that isn't yours would be wrong in your opinion. That is not the point. The fact is, mother/father relationships are normal because that's where children come from - their mom and dad. Race has nothing to do with this. The fact is, boys usually emulate dad and girls emulate mom. Considering how many unwanted kids (kids given up for adoption) we have and all that, the normal family structure has completely eroded. In a perfect world, rape would be eliminated and children born out of wedlock would no longer happen. Then mom and dad can bring up their kids the way they want them to. You wish to be gay? Fine! You wish to raise your child gay? Fine! But don't tell me I can't raise my son to believe that being gay is not wrong since I will be teaching him to be straight and that cannot coexist with being gay.

So childless relationships between men and women are wrong and not normal then?

I'm not sure that's a fact, I doubt it is true at all.

How on earth do you raise someone gay?

You can tell your son whatever you want to, and with any luck he'll grow up to make his own mind up about things rather than hang on every word you've ever told him.

Again, how the hell can you teach someone to be straight? Your son will be whoever and whatever he turns out to be. I hope for the sake of both of you that you can cope with what that is, because it is unlikely to be exactly what you have planned for him.

Does any country on earth accept 'promotion' of gayness? Is there an example anywhere on earth where it has been 'promoted'? Cant think of any myself. Fact is its worse than that. Russia is anti gay because Putaian is a Faschist. Period. If anyone doesnt think so they are an idiot.
Seriously, do you not watch TV in the US? But lets look at a few other examples. Government sex fields are no longer male/female only. There's about 10 or 12 fields including cross-dressers. Surprised the hell out of me. The government was going to change passport and other application forms to say parent 1 and 2 instead of mother and father on all official forms. Apparently, one side got upset that it's biased in one side and they don't want a separate form. Family trees in school are now based on who's living with whom as opposed to who's genes you have. There's a lot more other things that strongly suggest that father/mother relationships are not to be taught as fact anymore, but are one of several options. Promoting gayness is done by making straightness an option.

A implies B does not mean B implies A. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other and using an openning argument like that shows a failure in understanding.

That's absolutely true. Since my son was born, I've seen how he emulates me mostly and other boys. This is a fact. If you had a son you would see that every single day.
chriselst wrote:

Who would you tell your child to date? If you're gay, you'd tell they they can date anyone. If you're straight, you'd tell them to date the opposite sex. You don't have kids, do you?

That's true. And how you raise them greatly affects how they will grow up. Or is this not a fact either?

Hopefully, he'll be more influenced by family and friends than by television as well as grow up to make all the right choices.

It is absolutely true because you have observed one example. Nice sampling. Although you then contradict yourself, admitting he is emulating others too.

Utter bollocks. If you're a prejudiced throwback who cannot accept the real world then you tell them who to date and try to control their life. It has nothing to do with being gay or being straight. I do have a child. I have not decided how she will lead her life, that is up to her. All I can do is give her all the information she needs to make her own informed choices and try to teach her to be kind to others.

Ten years ago, they argued that it was nature, not nurture. Now they're pushing to nurture kids and teach them that they're not born straight. If it's okay for you to be gay and raise your kid gay, it's okay for me to be straight and raise my kid straight. They're conflicting ideologies. You can't teach both.
IMHO it's not about raising your kid straight or gay; It's about tolerance towards other people's sexual orientation but at first tolerance at all.

That was one example. Every boy that I've seen growing up emulated their father in one way or other. I have many nephews and cousins who are younger.

How is that a contradiction? Kids will eventually learn from other kids. But before they go out and meet kids in school or even daycare, they start learning from and emulating their parents.

No opinion in how they live is just as bad as controlling every aspect of it.

I am not expecting you, nor me, to lead their lives for them. However, we are expected to guide them. Telling your daughter she can date whoever she wants at a young age is basically telling her she doesn't have to be straight. Ergo, you can be gay.

It's about both. Like I said elsewhere, you can raise your kid whichever way you want, but don't tell me I have to accept you being gay without you accepting me being straight. It works both ways (without being bi). :)

Of course she can be gay. How does that make any difference to me? Will it make her a different person? Will it make me love her less? She can be whoever she wants to be, whoever makes her happiest. I had some Jehovah's Witnesses round my front door a few years ago. The woman told me she had never seen her grandkids and didn't have any contact with her own daughter any more because the grandkids were born out of wedlock. How desperately sad. Children rebel against control, the tighter the control the further they rebel. I have known so many who have lost any kind of relationship with their parents because their parents could not approve of who they were.

Reread what I wrote. The fact that you DON'T tell her to be straight IMPLIES that you're telling her she can be gay. That contradicts your other statements on how you can raise someone straight or gay. You're basically giving her the green light on being gay if she chooses to without even realizing it. Will you love her less if she was ugly, stupid, boring, short, fat, slow, or a kleptomaniac. No. She's your daughter. That doesn't mean we accept everything about our kids blindly. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other.

You are an idiot. Sorry, only conclusion I can come to. You cannot raise someone to be gay or to be straight. You can try, but you will most likely fail. I am not implying that I am telling my telling she can be gay, I am explicitly stating that I will tell her she can be gay if that is what feels right for her and that is what makes her happy. Telling her that will not make it more likely that she is gay. Telling her that will probably make it less likely that should she be gay then she will not attempt to hide the fact from me, less likely that she will not fight against herself to try to be who she thinks I want her to be, less likely that she will not grow to hate me for not approving of who she is, less likely that she will kill herself. Nope, if she is gay then it will not change our relationship one bit. Any other reaction on my part would damage her and damage me.

:thumbsup: Tha'ts the point. And as I said elsewhere, I think sexual education shall be done at an appropriate age, and by the parents. How they exactly do it is their business, as long as they raise their kids with tolerance towards others. What really disturbs me about the russian law is the fact that they actively promote beating up gays, making them 2nd class people and indirectly drawing the line between gays and pedophiles. Pedos and gays are not the same, and for this reason I happily help you slap a pedo, but not someone who's happen to be gay.

If you're going to bring up a separate argument into my point of discussion, then I blame global warming for creating gays. BTW, "none" implies some while "some" implies none or all.

You are correct I don't consider gay relationships "normal", I do define normal as male/female anything else is an aberration. I don't care if they are common throughout history and you can keep other species, I'm talking about human normal.
chriselst wrote:
Because you think they are not normal then they should not be talked about in a positive way.
I have no idea where you got that from, I am not gay bashing just don't get why they are so militant on the Russian thing (I understand the vigilantism and find it disturbing). Inter-racial has absolutely nothing to do with the subject, I don't care how "common" they are and they certainly can't be measured in the same way, preposterous. If they are male/female they rate as normal IMHO.

As a father of a nine year old boy, I'm no longer sure about that. My son will learn about Ess-Eee-Ex in school this year and I've come to the conclusion that that might be better. The problem is, some parents may choose not to teach, while others may explain things differently. Kids will definitely talk about it in school and I'd rather they all get the same information from the same source at the same time. Waiting for the end of this school year to cross that bridge.

I agree. Go find a NAMBLA member to slap. That's twice they've mentioned them casually on The Simpsons.

I agree, but only if the ed is appropriate for the kids age. It is sometimes surprising how prude parents f*ck this up.

And suddenly, pointing out that nobody's trying to make you gay, and nobody's persecuting you for not being gay, is not related to your argument?

What?! Did you skip Basic Logic 101? :wtf: "None" implies "none". "Some" implies "some or all". It's not difficult. But then, I guess you're too busy fighting off the rampant homosexuals who are all trying to make you like c*ck to pay attention to irrelevant things like "facts" and "logic".

But it's ok to inflict one group of prejudices on other people? Make it illegal to talk about something they think is wrong. No one's prejudices should be law(s).
