From the research I have read about single dads, they do just as good a job raising their kids as a 2 parent heterosexual couple. Single moms, the stats aren’t good at all. It has to be tough being a woman, lol.

I guess in 2024 a father isn't allowed to be disappointed when he finds out that his son likes taking it up the arse.
He can be as disappointed as he likes, but being outwardly disappointed kinda makes him a dick.

Imagine if he found out that his daughter was infertile and he pouted about it so much that it was obvious to the rest of the family.
In your opinion, would that make him a dick?

First, I don’t think being gay and being infertile are the same. Secondly now we are saying he pouted about it.
I’m just saying, if he found out his son was gay and his outward reaction was “well that’s disappointing” or “what the frick?”, why does that make him a dick. For some, it would probably come as a huge shock to find out such a thing. It would to me.

This. 100% this
And that's what he's going to need right now.

Because in 2024 you're only allowed to have an opinion if it's the correct opinion.
And yeah, his analogy equating a gay son to an infertile daughter made no sense whatsoever.

Of course I would be disappointed if my son told me he was gay.
I would not love him any less, and would support his right to be his own person, but I would realize the likelihood of natural grandchildren would be likely nil.
Not a popular opinion, but likely what most men would think and feel...

There are a lot more important things to worry about than how his son is hardwired.
At least he’s in college.

I can believe this. My dad(RIP) raised me and my younger sister by himself for a little over 5 years . From June of '89-August '94. I had just turned 8 and my sister was 5. He married my stepmom(his high school sweetheart) in August of '94.
I think the both of us turned out okay. He'd be proud of both of us. And he told us both as much before he passed.

At 30 years old he found out his dad was a gay. He said so much of his childhood and his parents divorce all was beginning to make sense.

I was working under the assumption that the grand disappointment would be no grandchildren. If it’s just “gay people bad” then frick him. Sure, everyone’s entitled to their opinion; what they forget is that everyone is entitled to have an opinion about their opinion. Sorry, them’s the breaks, and it sounds like all of the women in his family have opinions about his opinion.

Is he happy? That’s all a parent should want

I covered the infertile bit in a subsequent post, so to refer to the latter part of your post, if all of the women in his family have gotten pissed about it, I have a hard time believing that this was simply an immediate reaction with nothing after.

Seriously?
You thought that his disappointment was missing out on grandchildren ?
No, his disappointment was finding that his son likes to suck d*ck and take it up the arse.

I’ve got two sons, I’m not scared to admit that if I “found out” either was gay I’d be disappointed. I have zero inkling that is the case, which would be my disappointment. I’d like to think I know my kids and finding out I did not know something so basic about them would be greatly disappointing. Wouldn’t mean I didn’t love them, would just be a big shock and take a bit to process.
