Why Are People So Ignorant About the Way They Handle Homosexual Children?
Question by SunshineLoliPopsRainbowsUnicorns: Why are people so ignorant about the way they handle homosexual children?
I just posted a question about my daughter who has chosen to be gay and there seems to be a lot of people going berserk because we will not support her in this choice. Particularly that when she turned 18 asked her to move out and not support her education while she chooses to live this way.
How is this any different than someone with a drug addiction?
Would you enable a family member to an early grave?
I know all you liberals would, but I’m asking this to my fellow Christians.
Best answer:
Answer by Ms. Lady
you don’t have to support her choice to be homosexual..,but as a parent, you should help her with her education.
i don’t support my brothers drug addiction, but i do visit him at a inpatient facility. just because of his addicition, doesn’t mean i don’t pray for him and try to support and help him get over this addiction.

Go to hell…..well you are going!!!
No one chooses their sexual orientation.
Fail.
EDIT: I’m with Torg. This question reeks of troll poo.
But it is not a choice…
Something tells me you are a troll trying to make Christians look like heartless bigots. Next time, don’t use an account that was just made today.
Torg
You are either a poor troll or a pathetic excuse for a human being.
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it’s the former.
Even if someone in my family were a drug addict, I would support them with my love. To be there for them is the most important thing.
As I said in your other post, you honestly disgust me. If my parents were like you, I would be SO happy to leave them.
Sexual orientation is something you are born with.
Drug addiction stems from bad life choices.
You should love and support her through anything, not abandon her when she finds love in the same gender.
You gotta do what you think is right. WWJD?
I pray to the mighty FSM that you’re a poe.
You don’t have to support her decision. I believe this is a generation gap. I am 23, so I will assume you are around my parents age. They are very anti gay; it’s a sin, it’s not natural… My youngest sister thinks it’s perfectly fine. It was simply taboo and evil a couple decades ago.
I’m not saying that it’s ok now, or that God changed His mind on the subject. People today are just use to it, and when you see something enough, it becomes the norm. That’s also why tv is so dirty now (we watched the simpsons and they made at least 2 sex refrences, whereas Dick van Dyke didn’t even sleep in the same bed with Mary Tyler Moore!). Violent movies are best sellers, and immodesty is fashionable.
You are all adults, how you decide to deal with your family is your business. All we can do is argue and throw our 2 cents at you.
Screw being a Christian she is your daughter!
There is NOTHING more important than your family in your life?
Is this really what you want to believe that God would tell you to throw your daughter away if she is not up to his standards? Is that what you want to worship?
Because drug addiction is illegal and wrong and does bad things to your body, can kill you, is a disease and is morally wrong.
Being Homosexual is just liking the same sex! Where is this comparison?
An early grave? WHAT? Being Gay doesn’t kill you!! Drugs do so you would stop them but homosexuality is the total opposite.
You are either completely ignorant or just plain stupid!
Grow up and stop being so homophobic, it’s the 21st century for Christ sake!
As I said in my other post, it goes both ways.
Tell your daughter you will always love her, but you cannot have her and the person she is living with in your home. Also agree to have coffee with her and her friend at a neutral place.
If your daughter does not want to give an inch, tell her you’ll miss her. Put her on a prayer chain and immerse yourself in your Bible and your church.
Drug addiction is NOT the same as homosexuality. She’s not going out and wasting her money on drugs. I am a Christian and the bible does preach against homosexuality, but it is also very clear that only God can judge.
A drug addiction is different being that the money for education can be used to buy more drugs but cutting her off isn’t going to have any effect on her being gay. However it will put her in a bad situation (no stable place to live, no education to get a good job, etc.) giving her more of a reason to cling to the one she’s with.
Personally I feel that if you don’t agree with it, don’t allow her to do anything with her partner under your roof, not cut her off. By doing so, it shows that you don’t accept your daughter (as well as her choices) and you’re only going to damage the relationship you have with your daughter.
It is YOU who is ignorant. Homosexuality is definitely not the same as drug addiction and your comparison of the two is absurd. Homosexuality does not mean an early grave. I am a moderate, not a liberal, but I have a heck of a lot more scientific knowledge than you do. I refer you to the Karolinska Institute’s study of 11,000 identical twins where it was determined that homosexuality can be caused by nature, nurture, or a mix of the two. Whether or not you choose to support your daughter is your call but I guess someone needs to remind you that it was Jesus himself who said that we are supposed to love everyone – even our enemies. If you disown your daughter because she decided to be honest and truthful with you then you probably don’t deserve her love. Seriously – grow the heck up and stop listening to BS.
Btw: this is an OPEN forum – if you post the question ANYONE can answer it. Otherwise go to a “Christian’s only” forum and get off of this one.
If I could have chosen to be straight because my mom wanted that, I probably would have, but I couldn’t. Ask yourself, how would you feel if everything were backwards, and if you are a female, you had to like females or you were going to go to hell, or if you are a male, you had to like males or you were going to hell. You’d try to be the way that everyone says is right, but you’d still always feel the same way about the opposite sex.
A drug addict is out spending their money on something that they feel they desire, but it huts them. If your idea of what homosexuals are is that it’s simply a desire, you have it all wrong. I love my husband the same way you love your wife, and to make it all clear and out there, we DO NOT have sex. We just LOVE each other, that’s what being gay is – happening to be IN LOVE with someone of the same sex.
What does dying have to do with this? If you are speaking of AIDS, there are studies that say that heterosexuals are larger in number, AND there are more AIDS cases in your community. Did you know that you can have AIDS, just like any other STD/STI and before you even realize it, you can spread it to many other people? Most don’t know that, and that’s why most of the time diseases are spread. It’s not just homosexuals, it’s not just heterosexuals, it’s all sexuals.
Please, I ask you, please try to see it through the eyes of someone who has struggled with this in the past, and DOES know that this is most definitely not something that is a choice.
I have a son with a drug addiction…I do not support it..but I’m there when he needs me…he dropped out of college etc. etc.but I’m still proud of him because he tries to kick it and live his life without hurting anyone.
I also have a son who is homosexual,…he is at college, he is happy, I am proud of him. for his honesty and courage..and he hurts no-one…
How would you be enabling your daughter to an early grave???
I think she’s better off without your support….’the child asks for bread…and you threw her a stone’
Shame on you.
you are simply a homopphobic bigot. may as well accept it instead of trying to play the victim
I am glad, for your daughters sake, that she is rid of you. You are a terrible parent, and should be ashamed of being such a small minded hate monger
She did not “choose” to be gay… it is how God created her. By rejecting her, you are rejecting what God has given you as He gave it to you. If you want to reject God’s gifts, that is your choice. You’re the one who will have to answer for it on the last day.
