What I’m sure he means is, he doesn’t have pictures to show mom.

She might even come back with something like “Honey, we knew about it and I said to your father, as long as you don’t bugger and as long as you stay faithful to me, what you think on your spare time is up to you. We chose not to tell you because we did not want to hurt you.”

It is a personal choice for me not based on what someone else might think. I don’t need the drama and I really despise libs and all America haters. Same for queers. No use for them what so ever.

Why canât gays just keep their damn mouths shut? Me Me Me Me Me. Why would he tell his mother this? What could it possibly achieve aside from increasing her suffering and grief? It's all about pathological self-centeredness, part of the disorder.
Someone should ask this bozo if he found out, or even just "suspected," that his father had an affair with a woman before marriage if he should tell his mother.

Homos tend to imagine all sorts of things that never happened.

I think this poofter is mad that his father acted heterosexual and married a woman. Such a thing is traitorous to their thinking.

Or that his dad did something dumb when he was a teen, felt genuinely bad for what he did and got the help he needed to get past it (if what he’s saying about his dad is true).
Nothing irritates them more than a person like this.

I'm actually kind of impressed that the response to the inane question was actually halfway sane and rational. Good points made:
- the fag questioner had no actual "fact" that his father was "gay."
- the revelation of this hunch would help his mother in no way imaginable.
- A promise made to the father didn't cease to be binding because the promisee is dead.

Nobody is really comfortable with this issue; itâs still talked about like they would talk about the plague in medieval Europe. Sodomy, and public acceptance of sodomy, has a lot in common with the plague in medieval Europe. In fact, it's worse. The plague was a physical illness. Sodomy kills both body and soul.

Well, number one, heâs not gay, heâs queer.HOMOSEXUAL, because there's nothing GAY about it.

I was told things about some close family members after they passed away. I wish I had never been told. As I tell my own daughters, “Everybody doesn’t need to know everything about everybody else”. What good does it do? All it does is cause pain to the one who is being told.
To: Inspectorette
And in this case, the “about” someone else wasn’t even conclusive.

Because they have a narcissistic personality disorder.

Why would he tell his mother this? Because the queer hates women and wants them to suffer?

A remarkable POS indeed...
