Question:
What would you like to ask? Does this mean my son is gay?

To cut a long story short, I have recently been having a sneaky suspicion my son is gay.

Firstly, he watches Desperate Housewives. He has all their DVD-Box Sets. I thought this was a little strange.

He has also been on the Internet ever since he was born it seems. Tonight, he left his laptop switched on, so I seized the opportunity to do some "snooping". Parental Guidance Snooping of course. He had left his "Face Book" account on, and his most recent status update was [copy] "paul is so sexxxxy! <3" which concerns me as Paul is a male name.

But things got even worse... He came home tonight with a guy friend. Now at first I'll admit I was delighted; his friend seemed very masculine - your bog standard male, if you will. I thought "ok, he'll toughen my son up". So, they went up to his room, and I then heard very loud, feminine laughter. So I sneaked up the stairs to "espionage" on them. I heard them talking about MY LITTLE PONY!!!!! THEY WERE WATCHING My Little Pony!!! I remember as a kid, my sisters watched that show. It's different now though. So I broke the door open and found them ARM IN ARM. I asked why they were watching the show, to which I was told it was "cool". I was forced to watch it with them. I couldn't believe they were seriously watching My Little Pony. It almost embarrasses me as a Christian.

So what do you think?

I must add: I skipped Church for a few Sundays... Could that be why my son has turned gay?

No rude answers please, this is a genuine question.

You're kidding, right?

1/ Nobody turns gay just because somebody skipped church a few times.

2/ Nobody turns gay, period. If your son is gay (and notice I said IF), he was born that way and now that he is a teenager is just starting to realize his sexuality.

3/ As for him watching "Desperate Housewives" or "My Little Pony", they are both popular TV shows so why shouldn't he watch them. At the most this only indicates that your son has questionable taste in TV shows. We all went through that.

What you need to do is be the parent. Talk to your son with an open mind. Try to understand what is happening in his life. If he's gay, it isn't because of anything you did. It's because that's who he is. I realize that you think your church will not understand, but there are lots of parishes that accept gay people and have various programs to help families understand and adjust. You might want to do a little research.

Hate to break it to you, but being a college-aged male, I, uh, must admit to having watched My Little Pony in the past few months, at the request of my other, college-aged friends. It's sort of a guilty pleasure among certain crowds, and not just homosexual ones. Not something I'd have done on my own, that's for sure, but once you start watching, it's actually not as bad as you might think.



Furthermore, if you really are Christian and this really is something other than just a troll, please consider the part of the New Testament in Mark 12 where Jesus discusses the greatest commandment. It is "Love the LORD your God," and "love your neighbor as yourself," not "be completely heterosexual in everything you do." So, chill out and love your son for who he is.

No, just because you skipped church does not automatically make him transform gay... Those that are gay are born that way, we cannot control who we love. It is not your fault or anyones fault if he is not straight... And science has found that it is in genetics can cause homosexuality. If he is gay, it is not his fault nor yours. Though you are a Christian, the Bible states that homosexuality is a sin right? So does that mean falling in love is a sin? No. It is not a sin unless he acts upon it, and by acting upon it, I mean him actually having intercourse with another male... But he probably won't do that. Just accept your son, though it may be hard and painful. If you really love him, accept him and let him be, but don't let him get out of hand. Well, good luck.

I'm vey glad that you are honestly curious,but please don't be embarrassed of him. You didn't do anything wrong to make him gay,if he even is gay. From other answers,it looks like you have asked this question many times before, which shows that you care about your son. Skipping church doesn't make a person gay,they were born like that. Are you just seeing signs that he could be gay now,or has it been since he was a child? No one chooses to be gay,so try and keep an open mind.

The kid has been gay since he was 10. Thanks to the government mandated gay indoctrination in the schools, all the kids between 12 and 18 are gay today. All the gay boys watch My Little Pony. It's a symptom of gay. Warning: Never leave him home alone with the family dog.

specific. mendacity and stealing and unsleeping alternatives that folk make, those make you a bad man or woman, they're incorrect. yet being gay isn't incorrect. do you recommend you will easily tell your son to no longer be gay? telling a youthful youngster that being gay is undesirable interior an identical way mendacity and stealing is undesirable, that's in simple terms. wow, truly I haven't any thought why the government is letting you preserve this undesirable youngster, truly i do no longer, i think so sorry for him. little ones remember issues existence that. in line with threat while he turns right into a greater-depressed-than-time-honored teen it is going to all be because of the fact he thinks he's gay and god does not like gays, and if god does not such as you, you bypass to hell. faith is crap, sorry in case you disagree, yet i do no longer think in heaven or hell or any form of afterlife. why make your son's existence (the only existence he has) poor? in at present's society being a sort of idiots that tells all of us 'being gay is incorrect! god needs you to bypass and overpopulate our planet and not something' are dealt with in simple terms as badly as people who're gay. and for my area they must be dealt with lots worse, comments like that's somebody putting themselves on a pedestal, hence they're easily properly decrease than any established man or woman with a ethical experience.

If your son is gay, you should just support him. It is fine. He will be normal for you, because if he's gay he always has been. Don't ask him, because if he's not, he'll be mad, and if he is, he'll be embarrassed.

Some guys are just more feminine, that doesn't mean their gay.

So don't approach him, and don't judge him. He'll tell you if he feels like he can trust you not to be mad at him for something that is not his choice.

PS Being Christian is primarily about loving others, so try to accept your son for who he is.

With proper therapy and loving support from their families, even the most egregious homophobes have been able to overcome their affliction and gone on to live productive lives.



Trolls, on the other hand...

I think you are right, he is probably gay.



If you're for real then I feel sorry for him. Sounds like you're going to go all fundamentalist on him with weird bible quotes saying how evil he is etc.
