Gay Day at Six Flags

Re: RE: Gay Day at Six Flags

and, you know, it would have been nice to know that before I had posted my rebuttal.

Perhaps your husband could use some counseling on acceptance?

You see, that is one of the "great freedoms" that you were talking about earlier. I have the right to accept or not accept whatever I chose. Acceptance is one of the things that is wrong with this country any more. Instead of argue with people such as youreself, most find that it is easier to just accept it and go on. If my neighbor shot my dog b/c she barked too much, I wouldnt just accept it and go on. If a drunk ran into my car in the parking lot and dented the fender, I wouldnt just accept it and go on. So why should I accept something that I dont believe is right just because someone else believes that it is?? Also, now that you know Im the one who made the post, do you have something to say to me?? If so, lets get it on out.

Yes, you can have those feelings. But I'm willing to bet those feelings, intentionally or not, will eventually be transferred to your children.

Do you think it's ok to walk around with hatred and biggotry as your main driving force against different ways of life? I certainly don't. Continue spouting nonsense like you have and your children WILL pick up on it, and thus the circle of hatred continues.

How can you say that?? You dont know anything about the way I raise my kids. They will never know how I feel about other lifestyles b/c I dont discuss it with them. They are too young for that. When they are old enough to discuss it, we will. And they can form thier own opinions on it. The only way thier gonna find out how badly I despise homosexuality is if they come home one day and tell me theyre gay. Then it WILL be on. And I will say this. I dont hate gay people. I am disgusted by the choice that they have made in life. Just like I dont hate a person for picking thier nose but I am disgusted by it.

Saying they won't ever find out on their own, through your own mouth or not, is pretty naive of you.

My point still stands, they will find out one way or another.

1st way. other kids at school, with ignorance learned from other parents
2nd way. You tell them after you get over this hatred curve you've been on and give them the unbiased facts behind a situation as delicate as this, allowing them to form their own opinions.

 

[Bossman351]

Show me where I EVER posted that my kids would not find out what homosexuality is. You like to put words into other peoples mouths to support youre arguement and thats not right. If you want to debate, fine, Im always up for a good debate. But it makes it hard to debate w/ someone who doesnt understand what youre saying, someone who takes what you say and makes it what they want you to say. We're not playing mad libs here. I never laft any blanks for you to fill in. I made a simple statement and you took it for something else. Something that you wanted it to mean.

 

[TheOriginalJames]

I'm not putting any words into your mouth.

They will never know how I feel about other lifestyles b/c I dont discuss it with them. They are too young for that.

So when they're 8 and they come home from school and ask "daddy, what's a gay person?"

What's going to come out of your mouth then? Hatred? Biggotry? Or are you going to explain it to them maturely and let them form their own opinions on it when they're too young to maturely do so? I've already made my point. You're not going to stop them from learning about it, so be prepared and keep the hatred to yourself.

Yes you are. You said:

I never said that they wouldnt learn what homosexuality was. I said:

They will never know how I feel about other lifestyles b/c I dont discuss it with them.

And to answer your other question, go back and read the whole thing! I also said:

When they are old enough to discuss it, we will. And they can form thier own opinions on it.

So you, with that one post, just proved my point twice! You put the words into my mouth. Things I never said. You took what I DID say and made it into what you wanted to hear or what you wanted to THINK I said.

I will tell them the truth. First, we will have the sex talk and I will explain what sex is. then, I will explain that a gay couple are a couple of people of the same sex (I.E. 2 males or 2 females) who think it is ok to have sex with eachother.

Show me the hatred and ignorance in that. Of course, I expect you to find something wrong with it b/c you will make it what you want it to be.

 

[TheOriginalJames]

You don't have any point here, and now you're putting words into my mouth.

They will never know how I feel about other lifestyles b/c I dont discuss it with them.

THAT shows me that you are fucking NAIVE in the fact that kids WILL find things out, and WILL choose to discuss it even if YOU didn't know they had found out.

Oh but they won't find out because:

They will never know how I feel about other lifestyles b/c I dont discuss it with them.

But now you're coming back at me saying

I never said that they wouldnt learn what homosexuality was.

All you need to do is learn how to accept the lifestyle, hate it or not, and let go of the name calling towards people with different styles before you can actually talk your children when topics like this come up.

I'm sure things never slip when your kids are around you. You never say a bad word, or use judgmental reasoning in a conversation when your kids are around though.

Im gonna post this what redmult1 said...

There are to many other REAL things to worry about rather than who is a homosexual and who is straight.

This statement sums it up.

Both side of you got worked up over this. Yes in some peoples minds guy people are wrong, in others, they deserve what the rest of us have. Dont you think they have enough people critizing them.

I actually went to Club 1 in savannah a few weeks ago (its a gay bar) and there are some HOT HOT guys in there. I was panting like a cat on the prowl!.. too bad they were gay. hahahaha...

NOONE is a bad parent because of their feelings about certain things. Bossman and Amy are good parents.

The way I see this thread, in the beginning.. SI just stated a few points, amy got offensive quickly. he wasnt trying to make you made he was just giving you his opinion.. As for the last few pages.. Im speechless.. AGAIN all I can say (and steal his quote)

There are to many other REAL things to worry about rather than who is a homosexual and who is straight.
