It amazes me how homosexuals can wonder why people are against them by stating that their activity isn't hurting anybody.
They seem to overlook the fact that everyone of them that admitted their homosexuality to their parents HURT THEIR PARENTS.
Parents just had to accept it and move on or disown their child. But the homosexuals put their parents in the position to have to do that.

Yeah, let's feel sorry for the parents, who have FUCK ALL to do with anything. There isn't anything to "accept", you fucktard. Homosexuality is perfectly natural, normal, and healthy. If the parents are gonna get all butthurt and BAWWWW over their child's sexual preference, they shouldn't be allowed to have kids in the first place!
So is "not becoming a doctor" a sin? Or "marrying that feckless boy"? Or "only giving them the one grandchild"?
So much for free will if you have to spend you life being what your parents want to avoid 'hurting' them.
Opps, I disappointed my parents by failing geometry.
I guess my parents would be in the right if they disowned me.
It amazes me how race traitors can wonder why people are against them by stating that their activity isn't hurting anybody.
They seem to overlook the fact that everyone of them that admitted their non white spouses to their parents HURT THEIR PARENTS.

- See what it reads like when you replace "Homosexual" with someone else? You find it easy to hate them. You don't realise how truly abhorrent your words are. And take it from me, as an Atheist I have felt some horrible comments by parents of girls I have dated. They too were disappointed and had to accept it or disown their child just because they liked a dude who did not think God existed.
@ Mortok: Well, parents also might feel worried for their child, who is likely to experience some nasty attitudes, such as the one presented by this Fundy-shaped pile of fresh horse manure.
So what about Christians who have non-religious parents...?
Logically, you're saying that you find homosexuals perfectly acceptable as long as their parents are OK with them being gay?
It amazes me how christian fundamentalists can wonder why people are against them by stating that their activity isn't hurting anybody.
They seem to overlook the fact that everyone of them that admitted their religious fundamentalism to their parents HURT THEIR PARENTS.

Hurt their PARENTS? What about the KID? What about the kids who are thrown out of the house, beaten up, and shipped off to rehab by their parents? Do you know how difficult it must have been, for the kid to muster up the courage to come out to his/her parents? But of course, as usual, your sympathies only lie with the "normal" people. You are so insensitive and hypocritical that it's pathetic.
It amazes me how fundies can wonder why people are against them by stating that their activity isn't hurting anybody.

Damn! Eden beat me to it.
Kinda like all the guys who became salesmen or lawyers hurt their parents?
Nah, you're just making shit up. From what I hear, it's not a choice, so not telling your parents would just become increasingly awkward and comedic.
@Ash:
Yes, but that's concern. Butthurt and concern are two totally different things. Parents can't do anything about their child's sexuality, and if they can't deal with it, that's their problem, not the child's.
You know, my mom didn't like that I was bi and didn't like my girlfriend. She's only grudgingly accepted my wife now that we're married. She's also never liked my boyfriends, the fact that I delayed college, my vegetarianism, my taste in interior decorating (even though other people have paid me for it), my music, or my politics. I never did any of that to piss her off or break her heart; it's just that it's how I am. There are lots of things that parents have to deal with, not just homosexuality; there are also lots of things that people have to deal with from their parents. And because we love each other, we do it and find the good in each other. That's family values, not the crap you preach.
When I have children, and one of them turns out to be gay, I wouldn't be hurt in the least. I would, however, be a bit worried for them because of bigots like you.
Not ALL their parents were hurt, only the fundie fucktards. And if the parents are fundie fucktards, that is their problem and not the problem of homosexuals. I personally would be totally cool with it.
Also lots of actions could hurt parents, shall we institute parental arranged marriage for everybody so that they can't hurt their parents by marrying somebody the parents don't like? Shall we have parents choose their childrens' college majors, so that they can't choose college majors their parents don't like? Shall we institute a policy of genetic engineering so everybody has children with exactly the qualities they like so the kids can't hurt them by being different then what they expect?
Yeah, tell that to my best male friend, who nearly committed suicide because he was so tormented over the idea of coming out of the closet. And guess what happened? His mom was upset but she got over it.
You are an ass.
Funny, mom never had a problem with my brother when he came out of the closet. In fact, whenever he dated anyone, she was very accepting of his boyfriend and included him in family gatherings without a second thought.
So living a lie is less damaging than confronting people with a truth that requires them to open their hearts and minds?
Part of me hopes you have a gay son, and part of me thinks that would be far too cruel to the son.
You should lie to your parents? Lying is good?
The Christianity I learned said that lying was always sinful and nothing could excuse it. It was mortally sinful it if caused serious harm to others.
But whatever, it was ALWAYS sinful! And you are advocating it? Some Christian you are!
That's like saying that being born a girl when your parents wanted a boy is evil and wrong, since you're HURTING YOUR PARENTS.
I'd wager that going through life pretending to be something you're not would be a hell of a lot more painful than being upset due to your own bigotry.
Ha! My wife hoped that if our child was a boy (we had a girl), that he would be gay. That way, one less gay child would have to put up with fucktards for parents like you.
Edit: Not that girls can't also be homosexual, we know many gay males and females but we have noticed that it is generally more accepted for a girl to be a homosexual than a male. If our daughter is gay, we'll support her too.
...Just wanted to clear that up.
oh darn it..and I hear that the Atheists have been doing that as well.
The nerve of them people actually wanting to use their freewill to do something different from their parents! It should be outlawed!
I'd feel terrible if I came out to my parents, say, at Thanksgiving dinner with Grandma and all the aunts and uncles at the table. I mean, that's just embarrassing for all parties involved.
Barring that, if one or both parents turn into bigoted fuckstains, then, if old enough, that child should leave the goddamn building.
If my parents disowned me for being lesbian, they deserve the hurt feelings. What about MY feelings, knowing that if and when I come out, I'm going to have hell to pay?
Reality hurts sometimes. If there is nothing to be done be it, the mature thing to do is accept it and move on. If one of my daughters was gay, I would much rather they tell me about it than try to live a lie. If they feel they can't be honest with me about something as close to their being as that, then I as a parent have not done a good job of teaching them that they can rely on me no matter what.
"They seem to overlook the fact that everyone of them that admitted their homosexuality to their parents HURT THEIR PARENTS. "
Real-Life example how this might sound:
"If you continue with your homosexual sinful lifestyle, it will hurt ME! YOU are evil! I am the victim! How can you be so heartless, and hurt your poor parents? After all that we did for you? YOU leave us no choice but to disown you. It's YOUR choice."
Textbook example of emotional blackmail.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
