Even If Your Child Is Gay...

Hmmmm. Good idea. I *did* take a couple of Psyche courses in college. And I Feeeeeeeeeeeel like I'd do a good job at analysis.

Suppose that's enough, in the current environment?

If your child is gay there is a good chance someone molested him, or her.

[jboot]

they mistook my social awkwardness from trying to deal with Asperger’s Syndrome as something that was homosexual attraction

Bingo. Thanks to Asperger's I was called a "band fag" for years despite not being homosexual and not being in the band (or even able to play an instrument). Many people equate "different" with "gay". If I were in school now I'd be being actively encouraged by my teachers and peers to "come out". I wonder how many vulnerable kids who are merely socially awkward are being railroaded into the homosex lifestyle by the pro-gay environment in public schools?

Feel free to explain all the ‘nuances’ that you understand. Feel free to explain how something that is wrong should be not only tolerated and accepted, but encouraged and expanded upon.

[wolfman23601]

You are not doing your child any good by not recognizing sin and by not guiding him to avoid the sin. You can still love your child without supporting his decision to turn his back on God.

[stuartcr]

Easy, some people don’t think some things are wrong, while others think those things are.

[NCLaw441]

“Born that way” was never a good argument, in my view. Most of us, myself especially, were “born” selfish, self-centered and with the desire to benefit ourselves as fully as possible, with no regard for the “rights” of others. That’s why one of the words you hear from toddlers most is “mine.” As we grow older, we find out we are “born” to lie if it serves our immediate purpose, to steal if no one is looking, and to do all manner of things that give us pleasure. Do these tendencies make the behavior acceptable?

Of course not. We are taught not to take things from others, to tell the truth, to have good manners, etc. So some things we are “born” to do must not be done in order to fit into society.

Is being gay one of those things? THAT is a fair question; but to say that being gay is acceptable because one is “born that way” is a terribly weak argument.

[polymuser]

Most truths are simple.

[RoadGumby]

And your words and postings give away that you may be one that thinks those things are not wrong.

[wolfman23601]

“If your child is gay there is a good chance someone molested him, or her.”

Yes, and notice how many politician kids turn out to be gay. These are kids whose parents have engagements almost every night and that are raised by hired help... and many wind up in bording school where the teachers live on campus. What kind of people do you think a teaching job on a remote bording school campus where you have to reside and give 24/7 access to the kids and pay about $40k per year will draw sometimes?

[Morpheus2009]

You know, jboot, that’s the scary thought, how many kids MISTAKENLY come out as gay, when they’re probably just socially awkward or have Asperger’s Syndrome like you or I? It’s a frightening thought, and it sometimes worries me, although it might explain a number of things.

[polymuser]

The correct word is homosexual. Gay is happy, joyful. We need to take the language back, and call the behavior what it is.

Newspeak in action. Renaming it redefines it.

[stuartcr]

Yes, and there are many different truths that people believe in.

It depends on one’s reference.

[AD from SpringBay]

Here is my theory and I'm sticking to it.

There are several factors going on when a young man is recruited / molested. First, this is usually a young person. The younger, the more traumatic and confusing. They are not emotionally or mentally or spiritually equipped to process being molested. It is a rape on every level.

Secondly, there are physical mechanics. There is a dense bundle of nerves atop the prostate and behind the water works. During repeated 'stimulation' of this area, many men will get an erection and even experience ejaculation. Strange but true. Don't take my word for it. Do some research on prison rape victims. There's not much they can do about it.

Third, because of said confusion (emotional / spiritual / physical rape) and because of the body's response - the rape victim still has to process what went on. In other words, the rape victim has to cope with answering the question, 'How could I have had an orgasm from that?!' This happens to some women during rape as well. This goes back to 8th grade social studies and the concept of cognitive dissonance (if they still teach that any more) - the individual has to convince himself that his 'decision' (even though it was a purely physical response) was a good one and valid.

Then there is the societal message that it's ok / born that way / alternative lifestyle / blah blah blah. And thus, a new recruit, via chickenhawk, is added to the stables.

[polymuser]

Incorrect. By definition, there can not exist ‘different’ truths.

[stuartcr]

While I wouldn’t do either of those things, I don’t think they are right or wrong. It’s just behavior that may or may not be accepted by others or by whatever society they happen to be a part of.

Everyone has things they believe are wrong, and things they believe are right. That’s just how God made us.

[Sans-Culotte]

Fags have us so snowed, it isn’t funny. They make up less than three percent of the population, but they practically own pop culture, and have people, even rational, reasonable people, thinking that they’re 20% of the population.

Remember though that the homosexual lobby includes a large number of garden-variety libturds. It's not just the gays themselves but the people they have snowed that fills their ranks.

[Pontiac]

Finally, the senator also said: “During my career in the House and also the last few years in the Senate, I’ve taken a position against gay marriage rooted in part in my faith and my faith tradition.” But he has been “rethinking my position, talking to my pastor and other religious leaders.”

Sorry you don’t change your faith or your values because your child takes a wrong path in life.

If your pastor tells you that it is ok to change your faith or your values to keep the love and respect of your child it is time to find a new pastor.

Dennis Prager is the wisest man on radio today.

[stuartcr]

I believe there can be...God can do anything, even create us as individuals with our own sense of right and wrong/truth and untruth.

I don’t believe there are any absolute moral truths.
