This is sort of a spin off to the diversity thread, but for those of you with kids what do you want for them in life?

Do you want them to be happy? If so, if you have a gay child or a child who comes home to tell you they are getting married to someone who is a different race, will you not accept them, even if they are truly happy with someone of the same sex or different race?

For those of you who hate having "diversity" shoved down your throats (see diversity thread), what would you do in a the situation in which your child would come home with someone you don't approve of?

I want my kids to pursue Christ and righteousness over happiness, "love", and such. Homosexuality is a lifestyle of sin, so no, I will never accept that.

Absolutely

It’s 2019. I’d prefer my kids grow up to be a little more traditional, but if they don’t oh well.

Of course I want him to be happy. Love is love, I don't really care who he wants to date/marry, etc.

He is 10 months old though, so I'd like him to hold off on dating for a little while though.

Brainwash them well in advance to know better not to do something like that. If that, were my intent of course.

I realize that it's not exactly easy for you to gauge societal norms but overall, this is a very, very stupid question.

No offense.

None of that would greatly bother me. If they are good kids, making good decisions, I'll be happy for them and support them.

I want my children to be virtuous as it was understood before we collectively lost our minds.

Yeah, you have a good 16-17 years before you have to start worrying about dating..

But I assume you are a somewhat rational thinking person. There are a lot of people in the diversity thread who are... Well, not so much.

That’s the point.


And not all girl on girl is hot. Lipstick lesbian can be hot, and they are usually bi if you have money



The reality is more often like this

It's not easy for me to gauge social norms?

Do you think I do not get out or that I am not a social person or have not been around many people?

This question is in reference to the "diversity" thread. It's the responses in that thread that leads me to that question, but I am well aware of social norms. In fact, I realize that social norms are relative and what you might consider to be a "social norm" someone else might consider it to be ignorance.
