What you are seeing is SOP for the MSN, they do things such as this all the time.

A poster has also filled you in on this.

It isn’t that parents “shouldn’t be fine with their children being gay” .. it’s really about loving them anyway. How you handle their life choice is up to each parent.

I know of parents who’s child came down with aids .. they didn’t turn him out, even though they did not agree with his lifestyle, they were caring for him at their home until he died. They were loving Christian parents.

I think you’re lumping everyone into a pattern which FITS YOUR OWN CHOICES; YOU WOULD NOT BE HAPPY WITH YOUR CHILD CHOOSING TO BE GAY .. THUS SHUTTING THEM OUT OF YOUR LIFE. I’m not sure which is the best or right solution .. I only know that I didn’t approve of my son being a drug addict; but I went a step further and rescued his only daughter from her drug-addicted mother. She’s had a lot better chance at life. It’s the only solace I have.

Where In the world did I EVER say that? My goodness- please don’t put words in my mouth- Please go back and read through my responses more carefully- I never anything even remotely like that- The whole issue in this thread- which has now turned out to be a non issue because the NYT unethically CCHANGED the wording in their article, was that the article first said Ted would be ‘fine with his child being gay’- That is am uch much different thing than loving your child and helping them when they are in need-

I don’t mean this harshly- but to illustrate what the issue is that was being discussed, I’ll ask: We’re you fine with your child being a drug addict? Or did you simply accept that there was nothing you could do, and even though you were hurt, and you helped you child out of love when they needed help? I am not fine with a friend being addicted- and I will do everything in my power to try to get through to them that what they are doing is NOT fine, and to seek help- but I WILL always be there when that person needs help- NOT help to continue In their lifestyle, but TRUE help when the become sick and can’t care for themselves-

I never said to shut them out- and I never lumped everyone in to one category-
