re: Well my step son decided to come out last night.

As a parent whose kid came out as gay, it is hard sometimes, even if you are totally accepting of gays and of them. There’s a loss involved. A loss of the life and milestones you thought you would have (marriage, babies, traditional lifestyle, etc.) There’s confusion as to how to proceed in some areas. How to give them advice when you don’t know much about that world. And also there is discrimination, especially if they come out before graduating high school. Other kids’ parents may not let them come over anymore. Teachers at school act differently. To say a parent is a POS for being upset is pretty narrow-minded. Give the guy a break. I think he was trying to be funny about the situation.

Do you play cards with J.D. Shelnut, chief of police? Someone that does said nearly the same thing.



Doyle Hargraves quotes on IMDb

If him smelling your underwear was your first thought he definitely caught the ghey from you

I told you not to take him to story time at the library.

There are so many worse things he could be than gay. Is he a good person? Does treat others with respect? Is he a good student? Hard worker? Kind to others?

If my son were gay, I would mourn the dream I had his whole life of watching him get married to a beautiful bride, having a daughter in law, being there for the birth of his child… I would worry about others being cruel to him. My heart would ache with thoughts of painful moments dealing with this.

I would not degrade him by making jokes about him sniffing our underwear or casually dismiss him and his feelings. The world is full of mean people and he will meet his share. I would make sure that our home was a place of love and shelter for him and make sure he knew we loved him no matter what.

A parents love is supposed to be unconditional. You don’t have to like his life, but it is beyond me how you could be so unforgiving in displaying God’s love.

No you’re not. You can accept the person for who they are sexually; and you can still love them and show them decency. But you do not have to support them.

You are right, people don't HAVE to do anything, but it just makes you a shite person and a fricking moron.

and I know its you're not your

but I figure your SD is as bad at proper language skills as you do

well he’s not the parent

How about taking into the consideration what the child is going through? How long the kid struggled with this. Believe it or not, the kid would prefer to be straight. But he's not. And he's been struggling with this for years. As stated by a previous poster, there is a shock, and an undeniable disappointment when a child is gay. But as a parent you eventually get past that because that is YOUR frickING KID. My hope is that OP's only role in parental existence is in a "step" capacity. The guy is the lowest form of scum for making it about himself.
