I'd rather knock a girl up with triplets instead.
yeah i must be gay if my parents aren't bigots. idiot.
idiot? what?? I'm not even talking about parents' reactions. How about the way you'd view yourself? Whats so wrong about not wanting to be gay? To me, having a kid is the lesser of 2 evils. Maybe if I were born gay I'd have answered this question differently. How can you really ask a straight guy to imagine himself gay? Nope...sorry...give me kids any day.
fair enough, although you weren't being clear. after all, if we were talking about how WE felt, the thread title would be, "would you rather," not , "would you rather tell your parents." but whatever.
i wouldn't view myself any differently, because i don't view being gay as wrong or threatening in any way, nor as life choice or as a mistake. i find your assumption that anyone who feels that way must either have not thought it out or must be gay themselves to be pretty insulting, because you're either stereotyping me or saying i'm an idiot, take your pick. so yeah, i called you an idiot back, sue me. and i'm not gay and i have not only thought it out ON MY OWN (rather than listening to the "moral" agenda of the powers-that-be), but the majority of the independant scientific community agrees that there's nothing they can do about it. i'm glad i'm not gay because being gay is probably a pain in the ass (pardon the pun), but so is needing to wear glasses, and i wasn't ashamed to tell my parents i needed glasses when i was in 4th grade. so is being white, because it means you get sunburnt. so is having down syndrome, or missing a finger, or being blind or deaf. whereas having a child with someone you don't care about is preventable. it only happened because you messed up (and messed up is how your kid is going to turn out). so i'd rather have to "confess" the way i was born than confess that i was too stupid to put on a raincoat.
and yeah, i can imagine myself "as a gay." it's this wonderful trait called empathy. you should try it someday, it might make you less of an ass. edit: stormbv beat me to it. thanks storm.
