I would rather my kid be gay than a MAGA supporter

Isn't it funny that people talk about what a disappointment their children are and/or diown them when they do not grow up into what their parents want them to be. We never stop to think how disappointing the parents are to their children. 🙂

I don't have kids and won't have kids because I don't like children. However, if you're a young adult who needs advice or a different perspective on a genuine issue, I'll help whoever for whatever reason. If any of your parents "disowned" you because of your sexuality, it's not your fault. It's them

100%! republicans should not be parents - they're not fit.

I once heard a Gay friend of mine say: "Being LGBTQ is contagious, you can get it from your Heterosexual mother and father".

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

My kids could be whatever they want to be - but I just wish they or others wouldn’t constantly talk about their sexual preferences.

Exactly!!

Childhood to high school friend, she married a male, birthed a daughter who realized she was lesbian about age 13. In college she came out to father, mother knew. Father (Catholic) LITERALLY condemned daughter to Hell and more violent verbal assaults. She ran away to San Diego, PC Design Specialist

what an odd response to your comment

The one thing I've learned being a parent - you have both a huge influence on who your child will become and very little control over who they are. You can't do anything about genetics. You can provide them with experiences, opportunities, and worldviews that will shape them. It is interesting.

“We’re having a baby! It’s a boy!” “What if he’s gay?” “…….? What the Hell am I supposed to do, yell out ‘DO-OVER’???”

Absolutely true.

💯

💯💯💯✊

Shouldn't it be "If you would reject a queer kid" though? I mean shouldn't a parent accept and care for their 'straight' kids too?

Damn straight, people need to stop making Gaybies.

I'd rather my kid is queer than a Republican.

Sorry I didn't have any of that, and I don't plan on killing anyone. Thanks for your opinion tho, tourist

No, teenagers NEVER have sex /s WTF, this is one of the most ignorant comments I've read in a long time.

How's the saying⁉️✨️💯 *Uniqueness is part of this universe *God makes no mistakes *God knew you when you were placed in your mother's womb ✨️All the lives that come into fruition are purposed to the world to teach or to learn from.

If you don't want migraines... same advice. 😆

Studies have shown the younger generation is having less sex than generations before them. Imagine how ridiculous it is when someone pins their entire identity on something that they aren't even DOING. Get a personality b/c at the end of the day, no one cares what genitalia you like to play with.

👏👏👏👏

100%. Our job as parents is to not dictate the path for our children, but at her to support them along the one they choose.

Truer words have never been written.

You don’t get to choose your parents Parents don’t have control over what traits their kids are born with Good parents and grandparents teach good values by example, nurture their kids to become the best version of themselves,with pride. Those kids grow up Developing mutual respect with them is love

💯🎯💥

Got a gay son. Love him to bits.

💕💕

And everyone would be better off.

💯

Remember almost all gay kids were products of STRAIGHT PEOPLE HAVING SEX.

🎯🎯🎯👍

My kid is a bit young for the talks but if he ever comes out, I hope it's to me first. I can't imagine a bigger indicator of my success as a parent than my child trusting me with something so personal. ❤️

Well put, Catman!

Good Point. Unconditional love cannot have conditions.

TRUTH. 🌈❤️✌🏾

As a kid of parents who should not have been allowed to have kids I would argue that with a population of probably closer to to ten billion people, everyone wanting to have a kid needs to pass a couple tests first.

👍

i got so pissed when "gay son or thot daughter" became a thing. both! neither! i'd be equally happy! christ

AMEN❣️

AMEN

I have two kids. Both grew up surrounded by gay and trans people. One is queer; the other is entirely straight, despite having gay and trans friends.

Word

Truth. I have some friends with two sons, one cis, one gay. The proverbial "genetic roll of the dice" creates wondrous variety. You never know what you're going to get. THAT is reality. If you can't handle that then never have kids.

Are they healthy? Are they safe? Are they happy? Those are really the only things that should concern parents regarding their kids.

YES!!!! Unless you are willing to love your child unconditionally, don’t have kids. Of course, that’s hard in states that are anti-woman, anti-family and pro-birth. But yeah. Don’t have kids you can’t love!

Very well said

And as an adoptive parent, I will add that, whether you have kids, or become parents without "having kids", your kid may be queer. Love them and support them however they come to you.

THIS

That's great! I hated asking girls to a dance in school. I got it done but being goofy and awkward always made it that much more difficult. I also don't sweat when I'm nervous, I rain... 😁

The most important thing a parent can do is just be there and support them in their journey to find themselves.

So on point

Truth!

There are parents, and there are shitty people with kids, unfortunately for the kids.

We are as God sends us here and our kids are as God sends THEM here and parents LOVE their kids regardless of their identities

I have three daughters. Two definitely like the boys. I'm not sure of the third. It doesn't matter. So long as she's happy that's fine. Because its none of my business really.

I think my sons are strait, but they could easy be gay or asexual, as my brothers daughters are, and I could not love them more, or less, because I love them with all my heart. 🥰

Yes!!! This!!!!!!

"It takes straight people to make gay people, ok?" -Ralphie May RIP big fella ✊

All kids should be eccentric and unconventional. Otherwise, they are boring.

Yup. 🐾

👏👏👏👏👏

When my daughter was growing up we talked about sexuality and teen pregnancy regularly when she was old enough to understand. I told her I loved her and would support her no matter what. I also told her if she was unkind she wouldn’t like the consequences.

Tell them 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Same with autism

Ya my daughter cares about people especially oppressed. Who she loves is and always has been her own damn business

Absofuckinglutely perfect 🍻

I had two classmates in elementary school who were gay back in the 90s, I will never understand the moral panic over queer kids.

They face significantly more mental health challenges because religious extremists and cultists like yourself call them slurs, harass and sexually abuse them, and strip away their basic human rights.

👍 👍 👍

theyre not gonna like this one, jerry

As a father of 2 young adults I think this may be the answer to all our problems.

You don’t have kids to make them what you want them to be. You have them so that they can make their own way in life and become their true selves while being upheld with your love and support.

That's very well said, but I would extend some more .. if you are not ready to let your kids be who they wants to be, reflect on yourself before making any, or be ready for life to kick you in the butt very hard !

Exactly 👍 correct ☑️!!!

@pinknews.bsky.social @alexandertries.bsky.social

I hope my son is straight. Its just an easier life. If he grows up not to be straight, I will love him the same. I just want him to be happy and be part of his life, no matter how he lives it. Most importantly Im teaching him to be a kind and caring man who accepts everyone in all forms.

Truth. Being a good parent requires unconditional love, period.

everyone is entitled to be who they are or need to be - period. We are 99.9% identical.

Blue, yellow, black, white, green, gay straight, trans i love my kids, I dont care who they are, as long as they are functioning, responsible members of society who care and look after each other and respect other's..im proud of them. well as long as they aren't MAGA, thats just too far!!

No. If you don't want quiet kids, prosecute pedophiles by public execution.

This applies to all parents, regardless of party or ideology, Democrats, Republicans, woke, or conservative.

Or as a parent just forget labeling your child as anything other than your child.

"Alexander" sounds a little closeted, eh?

It's similar to objecting to trans kids. Don't want any Trans kids, don't have kids! They are always the ones with a gay or Trans child!

Yes. Yes to this 100%

I thank you for your service and I am SO SORRY this happened to you 😢😢😢😢

👏👏👏

straight people have been indoctrinating kids for a thousand years, and now you're getting your panties in a bunch? seriously?

Tucson ⤵️ 🤣👏

Wow, it came together all of the sudden.

Many parents do but not all

Or don't-choose, as the case may be.

YES YES YES!!!!!!!

Parents need to realize that we are not the main character in our child's story. Were a supporting character and our job is to make sure they have what they need to find their own slice of happiness.

Thinking she might be bisexual so I bought her a flag for that. She's young, and a teenager, a time in life when we all are trying to find who we are. But it doesn't matter to me so long as she knows I support her.

Truth

I wonder what percentage of the residents in the L.A. shelter were from out of the area--i.e., who "escaped" their home towns. I can only imagine the nightmare of being trans in the Bible Belt and Red Hat country.

That is fucking demon behaviour

And I have. Too many times. But that's kind of a wild take that parents should not be responsible for housing their children. I'm pro communism, so yes, communities need to house and feed everyone.

I had a friend, he was gay and was also a drag queen. His family rejected him,and googled the cure for "gayness".He ended up going missing for 2 weeks until his body was found hanging from a tree in the woods. His mom cried at his funeral and that made me so angry. She was one of the reasons he died

Parents who place greater importance on their image and social status rather than the happiness and wellbeing of their kid don't deserve to be parents. If friends or family don't like who my kid is then they aren't my friends or family and they can fuck right off.
