My fellow conservatives? If your son was in a bromance what would you do?

Question

what would you do if you found your son in a gay relation....oh my bad, I meant bromance. You know the "friendship" that guys claim to have that no woman can understand?

Answer 1

i would ask him where he got it....if it was legit, and the school didn't care...hey...i wouldn't either. for all i know all the kids are wearing bromances these days.



much love and hope. pj

Answer 2

Well, I'm sure I'd find it amusing for the most part. Most male friendships seem bizarre to me, since I'm a woman and can't understand what the basis for them is because guys don't seem to talk to each other the way women do. Guys never seem to know any personal information about their closest friends, so a bromance might actually seem refreshing. And if I was able to get past the entertainment value of seeing my son and another guy having a friendship that I'd normally expect two women to share, I'd probably be glad for him.



If it's any consolation, men in previous generations used to have very intimate, nonsexual friendships with other men. Lots of people have speculated that Abe Lincoln was gay because of correspondences between him and another man. But effusive letters intended to sound brotherly were common among men during that era. It's kind of sad that these days we automatically attach a sexual stigma to intimate friendships between males.

Answer 3

Im sorry, Im no "conservative" BUT a bromance is different than a a gay relation! Soooo I would have to say if my son was in a bromance I would laugh at him and tell him that he was a dork. But if my son was in a "gay relation" I would say I love you!

Answer 4

im not sure what you mean by this. if your son is gay then... well... wat are u gonna do really? you could hate him forever, kick him out of the house, tell him god will smack him,etc. or u could just accept him. it would hurt me of course, but there's nothing you can really do.



I don't know what you mean by a "bromance". if it means you having a best friend that got your back in anything from when your car gets stuck in 4 feet of mud at 3 a.m and he gets up and goes to help u. or your bud who you always talk to about women advice, etc. it seems gay or w.e but guys do have bestfriends believe it or not and they do talk about **** and are insecure almost as women believe it or not.



just wanted to clear that. now if your sure your son is gay. you can't slap it out of him as much as you wish and im sure other parents have wished as well. Talk to him and be open and understanding.



This is experience from highschool and seeing people come out of the closet and what happens. they run away, get lost, get high and wasted all day.



think before you act and put love above all else

Answer 5

tell him that 70% of sexually active people have HPV and 1 in 5 have herpes, then give him a condom.



Also, bromances are totally legit, I myself have a hetero life partner. Its a totally different relationship, can't you understand the concept of best friend?



Dude Buz, chill, you're always so serious. Make a joke once in awhile. Trolls exist, you can feed them or not but you can't get rid of them.

Answer 6

I don't like the term bromance. As a matter of fact, I don't like any combo-word, like manscaping, Tamiami or Brangelina. It seems to me, as a conservative of course, that it's either your son's friend or it's your son's gay partner. There is no need for a grey area.

Answer 7

I'd commend him b/c coming up I've always wanted an intimate friendship w/ a guy myself. You know, the one you can talk to about anything, one where you can be you w/o feeling like he's going to belittle you? The one you could go to for comfort in your downtime. Girls have them, why can't we?





P.S. I'm a moderate

Answer 8

well bromances arent gay...just best friends who do pretty much everything together aside from kissing, sex, any of that. If you're son is in a bromance, thats one thing...if he is gay then thats a COMPLETELY different thing

Answer 9

If I were a hidebound reactionary fascist bigot like you, I'd be as pleased as all hell because my son, despite his ability to love a human being of his own gender, was not having sex with him. I thought that's where you drew the line--your bad indeed.

Answer 10

lol, I was discussing this with a bunch of people for forever today. There's nothing romantic about a bromance.



It's just two guys who love eachother as friends and aren't afraid of it. Girls are allowed to say they love their friends, why is it so taboo for guys to? Are they not allowed to have emotions or something?

Answer 11

I would be happy that he found happiness.



But hey, that's the sane way to go about it. I'm not sure about how conservatives would go about it...fire and brimstone perhaps? A good dose of pointless guilt?

Answer 12

I would be fine with it, I'd support my son or daughter in anything they did as long as they were not harming themselves or anyone else. Narrow minded aren't you?

Answer 13

What the hell is wrong with you, coming in here and berating us? Are you having fun? Is this entertaining for you?



You expect to find other narrow-minded conservatives in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered section? Where did you leave your brain?

Answer 14

I would say I am SO proud of you and I will SUPPORT you all the way.

Answer 15

I would would tell him to stay away from people like you.



=)

Answer 16

Nothing as that would his choice.

Answer 17

I would be ok with it, because unlike you I can accept people for who they are.

Answer 18

Are they black?
