Same-sex parents prefer hybrid labels such as 'mathers' or 'maddie'
Daily Mail ^ | 4-26-2018 | Daniel Bates

Gay and lesbian parents are calling themselves 'mather' as they try to define their relationship to their children.

A study found that the fusion of 'mother' and 'father' was one of the ways that gay people are expressing their identity as parents.

But she admitted that explaining the new names to children could be a 'challenge'.

She said: 'It requires a lot of explanation and clarification, maybe even pushback from schools in certain geographical contexts, less gay-affirming areas of the country, like: 'What do you mean you go by 'Maddie?'

'Nobody is going to know what that means. How do we explain that to other children?'

That’s idiotic, no surprise.
“Maddie” can be short for Madison or Madalyn, so it’s nothing but confusing. No normal person would think of Maddie as a Mom/Daddy.

This is not something I am proud of, but my father ended up being gay. He showed NO signs of it. He was a cowboy/landowner, knew how to drive 4x4s with the best, and a successful businessman.

My mother was supersonic crazy, so I’m not sure what came first: the chicken or the egg.

My childhood was not magical, LOL, but I do thank God that my father wasn’t a flaming poofter.

I am SO glad my dad never was openly gay. I have a friend whose dad was “loud and proud” and never shuts up about being gay. He took her to gay bars, often leaving her in the car to do God-knows what. But her whole childhood was scarred by this. Mine wasn’t, but NO ONE can convince me that gay is okay.

I thought they wanted to fit in, and be a part of the community. All this special treatment only shines more attention onto them, and probably separates them from others that much more. It seems like unnecessary, indulgent behavior, meant to control other people.

Haven’t we all met someone with an almost unpronounceable name, that they refuse to shorten or alter in any way. The goal being, such a person gets to go around ‘correcting’ people about how to pronounce their so very special name and feels free to chastise those who get it wrong.

It sounds like your dad put his family and job first, and that ‘being gay’ was simply a fact, but not the driving force in his life.

Yep. I never knew. And I thank him for that.

Hallmark is jumping for joy!

Just think of all of the “Happy Mather’s Day” cards they’ll sell! And the “Happy Grandmather’s Day”, too.

Gay lives mather?

This whole LGBTQWERTY thing turns free speech on its head. No one EVER was prosecuted for stating a position on homosexuality when society rejected homosexuality as a perversion. People obviously countered false speech with free speech. When men like Aleister Crowley attempted to promote Satanism and sexual perversion, people in this nation used their freedom of speech to denounce him.

But since the tide has turned and homosexuality has been accepted by a large part of society, free speech no longer applies. Speaking out against homosexuality is no longer permitted.

There seems to be this idea that members of LGBTQWERTY get to not only exercise their free speech by inventing new terminology such as pronouns and titles, but they also think they are entitled to dictate what others call them.

Sorry. That’s not going to happen.

The homosexual agenda pushers are a danger to children and a deadly threat to civilization. Our nation can not survive when controlled by people who define life exclusively in terms of their sexual perversion and deviancy while demanding for everyone to accommodate and embrace these.

I prefer to call them what I’ve always called them. “Sicko”, a hybrid between sick and weird.

My wife’s brother was gay. She
defends him to this day, though
he was the first confirmed Aids
case in NM. It didn’t take long,
once diagnosed, for him to die
from the disease.
He was 33.
Life for you must have been
difficult while having to sort
things out.
