They don't understand they are attacking and hurting the family members of people who care for, support and love their Gay relatives.
As a father who has an Adult Son who is gay I want to let everyone know the type of crap going on in this thread...hurts. It sucks.
It is horrible to know people think these kinds of things about my Kid
It is horrible to think that my child will never be taken as a serious adult in Oklahoma due to sexual preference
It is horrifying that my child will face this Classless and Childish name calling and behavior across all aspects of his life every day living in Oklahoma.
It HURTS to know that someone doesn't like your child simply for being themselves
it fills you with RAGE to know that some people do this just because they think it is funny and to get a laugh or reaction without them knowing exactly how much emotional and psychological issues they are causing not only to the Gay person, but to their family members that love them as well.
It is Damning to hear people use the Bible to tell you how your child is hated by God, but those SAME people will go to Church and sing and praise the fact that God Loves everyone and everything and is welcoming to any and all things in his creation despite them doing everything in their power to separate and push them from out of their churches.
This thread has made me cry, has made me FEAR FOR THE LIFE OF MY OWN CHILD, has made me extremely angry, and has given my small glimpses of hope to see those standing up.
No parent ever wants to think that people hate their child. If you are a parent....I plead with you as a general rule on this subject. don't just consider the homosexual person as the target of your rhetoric or opinions. Because I can 100% guarantee that you may direct your words at them and their community, but you will hit their relatives, their fiends, their loved ones, Their church (if they have been lucky enough to find an accepting church which will even allow them to ATTEMPT to have a relationship with God) and their entire support structure.
