If you're a unconditional loving parent, I'm thinking you should love & accept your child no matter their sexual preference.A Balding Fan wrote:Thats all fine and good, are you gonna think the same thing when your only son comes home from college, and introduces you to his lover of the same sex?
Sorry, Im Roman Catholic, and was always taught Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.
yes, he does. No matter how wrong or intolerant he is. Tho, If we are to tolerate his views, wouldn't it stand to reason that he should be a bit more tolerent of those views not his own as well?diamonddan wrote:A BALDING FAN has a right to his opinion.
Tolerance people.
C'mon, Gumby - I know you can be more original than that. You have no idea how many times I have heard the "Adam & Steve" thing being regurgitated by brainwashed senior citizens during the gay marriage debate. You can do better than that.A Balding Fan wrote:Sorry, Im Roman Catholic, and was always taught Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.
Good point. I'll agree then to tolerate his opinion...RinglingRingling wrote:yes, he does. No matter how wrong or intolerant he is.

Actually I had this same exact converstaion with my parents--in reference to the movie, and their nephew( I dont really call him my cousin anymore, since I have said less then 10 words to him in the last 12 years).ejr wrote:I have counseled many friends who have had that conversation with their parents.

Yes I probably would not talk to my son again because of it, because he should know that it is not something I condone.
Congratulations on getting that "Love thy neighbour as you love thyself" thing under control. Tolerance and forgiveness, and the primary concept, "God judges and forgives sins, not me" seems to be missing..A Balding Fan wrote:Actually I had this same exact converstaion with my parents--in reference to the movie, and their nephew( I dont really call him my cousin anymore, since I have said less then 10 words to him in the last 12 years).ejr wrote:I have counseled many friends who have had that conversation with their parents.

Sometimes it doesn't matter what you condone...life just happens. What you can do is decide how you're going to react to it...with hate, or with love....
Well then I hope you're not a parent already......oh and let's guess....said "nephew" must be gay right??..A Balding Fan wrote:Actually I had this same exact converstaion with my parents--in reference to the movie, and their nephew( I dont really call him my cousin anymore, since I have said less then 10 words to him in the last 12 years).ejr wrote:I have counseled many friends who have had that conversation with their parents.

...You are really a narrow minded person.....If one of my many "nephews" came to me and told me they were gay, I would have to cut them off too.parrotsgirl wrote:Well then I hope you're not a parent already......oh and let's guess....said "nephew" must be gay right??..A Balding Fan wrote:Actually I had this same exact converstaion with my parents--in reference to the movie, and their nephew( I dont really call him my cousin anymore, since I have said less then 10 words to him in the last 12 years).ejr wrote:I have counseled many friends who have had that conversation with their parents.

This is 2006 now, racism was so 1950's!
When I was reading MLK Jr's I have a Dream speach on Monday, I thought, "Well, when the generation that lived with segregation is gone, racism should be gone because I don't think the younger generation will be like that. With hip hop being as popular as it is today and everything else" But when I read a post like A Balding Fans about what his daughter, I think that we will never get to where Dr King wanted to be.
