Criticize him about his standards.


I kid! I kid! :p

There is nothing wrong with wanting your son to have the best, or at least someone in the top 75%.

I think my first statement would be something along the lines of either "OMGWTFBBQ!!!!!" or "hi, how are you". Probably a mixture of the two.

That is horrible. Your son had no choice in the matter and you are going to disown him? Would you disown your child if they were left handed instead of right handed? I know religious conservatives that disagreed wit their gay children, yet they love them and continue to have a relationship.

Comments like these say a lot about the person who made them.

Fixed for ya.

Unless YOU had to choose to be heterosexual? Or maybe you forced yourself to be hetero and try to control your desire for men?

Most are born gay. There are cases of people choosing to be gay or bisexual to buck societal norms. This is really popular in the Punk Rock scene.

Punk makes you gay?

It doesn't make you gay, but you get a really cool t-shirt and save 20% on your car insurance, so most punk rock guys do it.

Would you really need to fix him/her?

IMHO gayness is an unnatural genetic defect in the most biologically possible sense. Gay people can't reproduce. Period. Thus, if all of the hetero people suddenly vanished, humanity would be dead as a species. This is the definition of unnatural.

That said, I don't believe gay people should be limited when it comes to marriage. Child-rearing, however, is another story. Straight children should not be raised by gay couples. As there is no definitive test for gayness yet, I don't think that gays should be allowed to raise kids. Other than that, they can do whatever they want as far as I'm concerned.

Some of the best parents I have seen were gay. A persons sexual orientation should have no bearing on a gay persons ability to adopt and raise children. All the gay parents I know have raised straight, healthy, well adjusted children.

I'd be pressing charges. My son is only 5. :p

Seriously though, if my son were gay I'd treat him no differently. I'd still love him as much as I do now.

No

Some members in the punk scene made a conscious choice to buck societal trends by engaging in all sorts of behavior not considered socially acceptable.

I put 4 cookies in his backpack this morning before I sent him off to school (they're small cookies).

Because they are small? They're low fat oreos and 4 is a nice even number. It's just a snack. I also put a granola bar in there.

Well, it has to do with who you like to have sex with.

Or what kind of pie you like.

Wait, maybe mugs was right, it's just who you're attracted to.
