How do your parents feel about gay people?

<p>My dad is so anti-homosexual it's ridiculous. And my mom, while not hating gay people, is the type inclined to yell, "It's a sin! It's a sin!" Lol.</p>

<p>Anyway, the Day of Silence today made me think about this. :).</p>

<p>^ Haha, my parents are exactly the same. My dad’s anti-homosexual/homophobic. My mom doesn’t approve of homosexuality, but she probably would still respect a gay person as a human being.</p>

<p>I’m not sure, actually. They used to be friends with a male gay couple, though, so I’m pretty sure they don’t really hate homosexuals. Not like I’ve ever asked. xD</p>

<p>My parents are the opposite, my mom is anti-homosexual and my dad doesn’t really care for it, but he doesn’t approve it at all.</p>

<p>my mom tries to turn my gay relatives straight,
but she doesn’t really do it seriously anymore because it’s been like a decade
my dad couldn’t care less</p>

<p>wait,
does talking on the internet count as violating the day of science</p>

<p>They have the weird belief that most gay people are white and rich. >.> Though my brother is black and gay. They give no thought to it other than it’s against the Bible and it seems weird. Deep psychological discussions doesn’t cross their minds.</p>

<p>Well… it’s rather strange really… </p>

<p>My family is completely conservative, but in Asian cultures the topic of homosexuality is rarely, if ever brought up for public discussion. So… I can make assumptions about what they’d think, but in truth… no idea…</p>

<p>My parents thinks it’s against nature, everytime the news shows something about Prop 8 ,at least during the voting season, and they see people rallying for/against it, they start complaining how its a waste of time to debate about such things and how the straight people are making a bigger fuss about it than the actual gay people.</p>

<p>My father is like 100% cool with gay people, as are his 80 year old native Alabaman parents (I think his mother might be from Mississippi).
My mother is friends with some gay people and generally likes them as individuals, but she doesn’t think that they should be able to get married.</p>

<p>cool question.</p>

<p>my dad is pretty liberal, so i assume he’s fine with it. my mom doesn’t particularly care for the lifestyle, i assume, though.</p>

<p>not like this conversation has exactly ever come up. i get the feeling they don’t really like talking about it, especially my mom. so i actually have no idea :p</p>

<p>My mother (70 years old) is fine with gay and lesbian people. She is very liberal. My father is dead but he was also liberal and I assume he was fine. My stepfather is probably slightly less comfortable but supports pro-equity legislation (gay marriage, rights, etc).</p>

<p>^ Your mother is 70? How old are you? Wow, that’s amazing.</p>

<p>Perfectly accepting of it, just how any decent person should be</p>

<p>Rachael</p>

<p>I am an adult! : )</p>

<p>So I guess my son would say, “my mom is totally fine with gay and lesbian people and so is my Grandma! (and my Aunts and Uncles and cousins are totally fine with GLBT people but maybe not the extended family)”</p>

<p>^ lol… automatic high school life forum assumptions. :)</p>

<p>I get that! I don’t even look at the forum if it comes up on “Latest Posts”!</p>

<p>Still it interests me, because this means that many, many in MY generation are still homophobic and I just don’t get it. I kind of think of homophobia as MY grandmother’s generation (and she died years ago but would be in her 90s now).</p>

<p>My parents are 100% accepting of any gay/lesbian and did vote NO on prop 8 (which I also 100% agree on)
I don’t think theres anything wrong with it
but idk :/</p>

<p>my mom doesn’t believe that people can actually be homosexual.</p>

<p>my dad sees them as people born with a genetic disease like down’s syndrome or something.
both my parents are conservative to the point of being racist.</p>

<p>Both of my dads are anti-homosexuality.</p>

<p>^lol</p>

<p>My mom is completely pro-gay, and so is my dad, but gay men freak him out.</p>
