Parental Question: Let's Try and Keep This 100% Mature Please

[DC]

Fellas IF your son happens to grow up and is a homosexual would you feel any sort of failure as a FATHER? (not as a parent but as a father)?

Yes I know you are supposed to LOVE your child unconditionally but that has NOTHING to do with what I am asking.

Keep in mind you can still LOVE someone and have things about them that you don't agree with. Just keep that in mind.

Mods I didn't mean any respect by this post. So if it isn't acceptable my fault

I would feel like I went wrong somewhere.

Honestly, if you'd feel like a failure because your kid's relationships may carry some social stigma, you probably aren't ready to be a parent IMO.

I'd want my kid to be happy, and if taking one in the butt makes him happy, well, that's what it is. Wouldn't encourage it, but if it's a biological issue, there's not much you can do. Least you won't have to worry about him knocking someone up in high school.

I would feel more of a sense of failure if my child turned out to be a "law breaker" than what sexuality they choose.

So is that a nice and politically correct way of saying YES I would feel like I failed somewhere?

This would be my initial thought process as well but then the feeling would dissipate over time and i'd get used to the fact. I probably wouldn't be 100% comfortable with it ever but as nyisles said there's far worse things that could go wrong with your son.

I would have failed if my kid turned out to be a bank robber, druggie, prostitute - etc.

I would not feel like a failure at all if my kid chose to love someone of their own sex

Considering you dont choose or get taught if you like the opposite sex or same sex (atleast I dont think it happens that way) I would not feel like I failed my kid. Like nyisles said if they ended up being a criminal, drug addict or prostitute then I would of felt like I failed.

Considering the fact that you have no control over the type of person someone loves or is attracted to, not at all.

You are born how you are born. It would be no different than if he liked fatties or Asian chicks.

As a previous poster stated, the most important thing would be for my child to be happy.

homosexuality often cant be controlled, you are just born with it. Has something to do with brain makeup.

as stated earlier if they end up a criminal or something that is a failure.

I firmly believe that homosexuality and bisexuality is a genetic abnormality (please don't misconstrue that statement, it is not meant to be offensive or insulting in even the smallest way) and not a choice one makes. As such I don't think I could see myself as a failure for something that was out of my hands.

I agree with the homosexuality part but I dont know about bisexuality. To me they are just confused or just down for whatever.

As long as my kids healthy and stays out of legal trouble I'll be happy.

WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It might bother me if he was flamboyant though. I don't care who you are attracted to. Just please don't make Big Gay Al from South Park look like the poster child for masculinity. That is a behavior and can be controlled. Who you have feelings for cannot.
