I don't have anything against gays except for those who make it too obvious they are gay and have the need for everyone to know. I remember watching 30 Days about gays adopting that that helped me accept them even more. With that being said, if my son tells me he is gay, I would kick him out of the house for sure. Yea you all say you are tolerant against gays but you probably wouldn't be so accepting if your son said he was gay. Also who ever says homosexuality is wrong because the the bible needs to get their heads checked, so apparently god created a gay guy but god doesn't approve of him. I also think being gay isn't a choice. I mean when I grew up my mom and dad never told me that I should like girls, it just happened naturally so I would think it's the other way around too.

Does Not Compute.
Does Not Compute!
DOES NOT COMPUTE!!
What the hell can`t you people get with the "flaming" type? It`s to attract a mate, like you`d probably want every girl in a bar to know you`re straight, unattached and good looking, wouldn` you?
..."you probably wouldn't be so accepting if your son said he was gay."
Why do you assume everybody thinks like you?
"I mean when I grew up my mom and dad never told me that I should like girls, it just happened naturally so I would think it's the other way around too."
Strange, my parents never said I should like girls, but I still like girls.
Somehow, this makes you even worse than your average homophobe.
You admit it isn't a choice, you admit your religion doesn't demand you hate them,... And yet you still hate them sooo much you'd disown your own son?
What the f*ck is wrong with you?
@ Mister Spak
But even though his (hypothetical) son has no choice, he'd still kick the kid out. I think that makes him even more reprehensible.
First you say this...
I don't have anything against gays...
Then you say this...
With thAt being said, if my son tells me he is gay, I would kick him out of the house for sure.
Those statements alone tell my you have a serious problem with the LGBTs. You sir or madam, are the very thing you say you're not
Last sentence explains it all - EXCEPT that bit about kicking your son out of the house. You sound almost ready to come out of that fundie dark age, but still have that urge for YOUR son to be straight. Is that because the boys at work would tease you about it?
I suspect you to be an adolescent anyway, without either a partner or a son. I hope by the time you have kids, you'll grow up a little bit.....er.....a LOT more.

This guy gets even worse later in the thread :
stillfantasy: ". I am 100% sure that my parents would rather tell people that I'm drug dealer or doing time in jail than tell their friends that they have a gay son. I feel the same too. By the way, I can't believe your 21 and still have an imaginary friend who you claim will punish me for not accepting gays 100% and will also punish gays for being gay."
I find that even more disgusting than your average homophobe.
I don't like this bit especially:
"Yea you all say you are tolerant against gays but you probably wouldn't be so accepting if your son said he was gay."
There is something so sneering about it. He's saying he'd kick his own child out of the house for being gay but then he does that whole fundy, claim-the-moral-high-ground thing. No, I would not kick my child out of the house. No, I would not turn my back on a close relative if they were LGBT.
I know that some parents really are shitty when their family member comes out as gay. I'm not going to pretend that isn't true. But I've seen the opposite reaction happen way more often. That cruel, mean, socially conservative, bigoted dick-bag parent is still a cruel, mean, socially conservative dick-bag but their heart magically softens on the issue of gay rights. They are just as harsh on all the other social issues but they'll soften on gay rights because it affects their kid, their family and, most importantly, THEM! (Note: Steve Schmidt, Dick Cheney.)
We took in our daughter's best friend because her mother kicked her out because she was gay. The girl's mother then reported her as a runaway, so in the middle of the night the police were knocking on our door in the middle of shitty weather to take her out of an environment where she felt safe to make her drive across town to an unwelcome environment.
My husband and I made sure our daughter and our daughter's friend knew we would still take her into our home in a heartbeat. She was, unfortunately, so close to her 18th birthday that trying to get emancipated would be useless.
Both girls are adults and fending for themselves now, and our "adopted" daughter still knows she has a place in our home.
What is it with these guys saying, "I have no problem with homosexuality" before they say something BLATANTLY homophobic?
I know it's the whole "I have black friends"-type thing but you'd think they'd sugarcoat the latter bit and make it more ambiguous.
If you say "I am not a homophobe", it would naturally and logically be followed by "...therefore, I have no problem with gays nor my kid being one".
Why do they do it? It's like they don't understand language.
I've never met a gay person who introduced themselves by saying "hi I'm gay". Ever. One of my closest friends who is bi didn't even come out to me until after I knew him for a year, and even then it wasn't even intentional; we were talking about our short term life goals, he mentioned coming out to his parents among other things, and that was it.

Uh... yeah, Ibuki's pretty sure that this guy has something against gays. She's pretty sure he has a lot of things against gays. If you're the kind of person that would completely cut your kid out of your life just for being gay, then yeah, you've got something against gays.
Well, I only have a problem with those homophobes who make it too obvious they are homophobes and have the need for everyone to know.
Remember, your son will be choosing your nursing home, when you're too old to take care of yourself. Treat him well now, and he will choose a good one then.
You can't be tolerant against something, you're tolerant towards something.
I have no kids, but if I had and one or more turned out gay, I would perhaps be sorry at first, that life will be more difficult for them, but then I would of course accept them for who they are; I was the one who created them like that, after all.
OK, not the worst homophobe out there, but still not a particularly decent human being.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
