I don't buy that at all. Who in their right mind would choose to put themselves in a position that excludes them from mainstream society, put themselves up to prejudice, get beaten up by homophobe nutters, stop them having kids in later life etc..Many gay people probably wish they weren't. and on top of that they have to **** people of the same sex. It's no more a 'choice' than 'choosing' to be straight.

I understand what you're saying, but I don't agree. I think homosexuality is a choice. I don't have proof that I'm right, but then again....neither do you

No you dont and no disrespect but you are talking utter rubbish. Same as the guy on page 1 who said "its a lifestyle choice".

For many it is a lifestyle choice, for others it isnt... Thats my opinion. Many seem to think that talking like you live on helium, mincing and limping the wrist is fashionable. These type of puffs IMO are mentally ill and need counselling.
If my son was one of these I would be having serious words.
If however he was genetically deformed and plain and simply gay, I would be completely mortified, would look back over his childhood and try to blame myself for his metamorphisis into a chutney ferret.
I would try to learn to live with the fact that whilst I love him for being my own flesh and blood, I would never allow his partners in my house, would never condone any relationship of his, would never consider going to his "wedding", would be completely against the concept of them fostering or adopting kids.
In the end I would die knowing I had created a life and knowing I loved my son, but I would take to my grave the dissapointment, embarrasment and anger...

I don't have kids, but for me it would be their life, their choice. At the end of the day, they'd still be my kids.

As long as they were happy and not doing anything illegal, I'd be happy for them.

John.

I've had to accept the fact that my stepson is a catholic, ManUre supporting Ginja. On top of that little concoction, accepting that he's gay (if he turns out to be) would be small fry

Although being Ginja the chances are he'll have no choice but to be celibate

Personally if my kids turned out to be Gay I'd be pretty pissed off, and think I'd raised them wrong. I'd be double pissed if I had a boy and he was gay, I would really question my parenting skills then.
You need to get yourself sorted,then
The way this society is going,we parents need to be prepared for all sortsa shocks

It certainly isn't a choice, and any homosexual will be able to tell you that, it may take a bit of your imagination to prove it, though!

From puberty, you are either interested in boys, girls, both or neither....

The only choice is whether you conform to the pressure you are under from friends, family and society to be "normal"

The fact that homosexuals are slimmer and wear nicer clothes and have a wider social circle than most of us "normal" people (who sit on the internet all day talking to virtual "friends" ) doesn't make it a conscious decision, as appealing a choice as that may be for some homophobes!

I wouldnt have a problem with it - just a little disappointed in that I wouldnt get 'natural' grandchildren.

As long as they are happy, I am happy.

Yes you would be bothered,and no its not his choice. Who would choose to not be able to have kids,to take a chance on being rejected by your family,and forever more have to "explain" why,as you get older,you aren't married with kids.

There is a lot of "trendy" waffle on this thread.

anyone saying they wouldnt be bothered is not thinking it through. telling you they like to have sex with people of the same sex means they deviate from the norm by a huge margin, they will face a whole world of problems and hate from huge numbers of people.

what you think about gays is not the issue.......if you think the above is something to be pleased about then your nuts.

Why should anyone give a flying **** what any strangers think of them.

I don't, and I know you don't - so why be worried for your Kids. As many have stated - it's not something that can be "cured" - and hiding away from your sexuality only leads to sadness.

Your kids need you support - no matter what they turn out to be.

If you can't give them that then you have failed one of your primary tasks as a parent.
