Would you let your kid be gay?

[The Mikado]

What about some form of teabagging?  

There wouldn't be any teabagging under my roof!  At least, not the political kind.

Is it always a form of oral sex or is the 'tea-bag' sometimes applied to the forehead?  Either gently or in a 'mashing' motion?  Or perhaps even the top of the head!

That's a good question.  The first chronological definition of "teabagging" I heard was from the first season of Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000), when Gil the porn star explains it as specifically relating to oral usage, but perhaps the definition has evolved over the last decade.

If you can track down an earlier use of the term than 2000, congratulations.  That was the first time I heard it.  I'm still shocked that the right wing thought it was a good idea to name their movement that.

To me the term sounds kind of old-timey.  I'll bet some sailors were using that term as they tricked around the docks for old queens back in the 1950s...

[useful idiot]

I feel so, so sorry for useful idiot's daughter - the idea of a parent's love ever being conditional is a horrible thought.

Blah Blah Blah, because I totally said that. Did I ever say I wouldn't want to see her? No. Did I ever say that I would withhold any kind of financial support? No. Did I ever say I'd be mean to her or not treat her with respect with regards to making her own choice about whether to lead whatever life she chooses? No. Just because I'm not actively participating in her romantic life doesn't mean my love is conditional. And you can't expect me to have her partner, if she has one, to come stay in my house, if I disapprove of what's going on on religious grounds. Hell, it's not like I'm a fundamentalist Muslim who would stone her to death to preserve my families honor, so let's keep a little perspective. I would say most parents world-wide would be far less accommodating than I would.

Anyway, if she told me she was gay, given how girls are, it probably means it's just a phase, and I don't want to encourage it. Half the chicks I know went through a lesbian phase in high school. It would probably take a couple years for me to even get used to it if she was truly homosexual.

If you want me to bring my religion into the matter I'll tell you this, even though I'm probably going to get bashed for making homosexuality out to be a sin. I don't see homosexual behavior as any different from having sex outside marriage. I'd be a lot worse if she said she was never getting married and was having sex with guys or living with one. At least in this case I would be able to see and understand that she had no choice in the matter and wouldn't chastise her for it. I'd simply tell her I love her and want the best for her,  acknowledge that I understand that she didn't choose this, but that I'd be uncomfortable with being as fully involved as I would be if she were straight. Hopefully she'd understand.

Like I said before, if she told me I had to go to her gay wedding or have her partner over or she would cut off contact with me, then obviously I'd have to do those things. And if she chose to have kids, either by adoption or insemination, my position would obviously change and I'd have to do whatever I need to do to be around her and my grandkids.

In any event, I'm completely done talking about this, I shouldn't have answered the question or I shouldn't have answered fully.

[Free Palestine]

I'm not having kids, ever, but if I did, I wouldn't care if they were gay.

Why not?

Why I'm not having kids or why I wouldn't care if they were gay?

Just curious why you're so sure that you are never having kids, ever...

Because I do not want kids and I see no purpose in having them.

In theory if homosexuality is genetic and the exact "gay genes" are found it will be possible to genetically screen for this for a possible abortion.

Abortion is worse than gayness.

[AndrewTX]

If I found out my son or daughter was gay, I would be 100% okay with this. I know that being gay is not a choice, it is just who you are. My personal belief is that if you cant accept it, you probably shouldnt have children in the first place.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Abortion is worse than gayness.

So you think "gayness" is wrong, huh?

Because I do not want kids and I see no purpose in having them.

Good to you

[John Dibble]

What's the other option, shoot him?

It's there - the no option. This answers the question others have posed about how you can "let" someone be gay. If you let them be gay, you don't shoot them. If you don't let them be gay, you shoot them and then they are dead, and we all know dead people can't be gay.

[Conservative frontier]

I wouldn't approve, but I'd still love them. So, Yes.

[Hash]

No, I'd chop his head off.

Next stupid question plz.

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

No, I'd chop his head off.

Violent homophobe.

[nclib]

As others have said, 'let' isn't the right word.

Assuming this question is asking, would I accept it and not try to direct him/her away from homosexuality, then yes.

a good teabagger dunks his junk in flour and then smears it around the passed out drunk guy's face as evidence in the morning.

100% yes

[Torie]

Let? Give me a break.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Let? Give me a break.

Oh yes, we all know that the kids need a written paternal premission to be a gays
