I just found out that one of my friends is gay, but in my eyes it doesn't make him inferior or worse. Actually I don't even care weather he is gay or straight!!! I'm just glad that he had the courage to be himself and find a good partner to live with Very Happy

Some of my best friends are gay. Actually, I have always been some kind of "queen of the fairies".

But I must be honest. I totally agree that none of them deserve any kind of disrespect. I hate to know that someone was mistreated (beaten, for example) just because of his/her sexual orientation. But I can't say I find it totally normal.

For example: if someday I found out that one of my children were gay, I'd never discriminate him/her, but I would surely cry a lot. I would suffer, I can't lie. I would keep asking myself for sometime: "Where did I go wrong?".

It can't be denied that being homossexual makes things harder. Your son/daughther might be discriminated at school, at work... it's harder to build up a family when you're gay (I know that things are advancing, but it's so difficult to adopt a child being "straight", imagine being gay...).

I would like to understand the origins of homossexualism. Social? Biological? To be honest with you, if there was a way of preventing it, I would take it if I needed. I don't mean that people should hide their true feelings, but if there was a way of prevent them from feeling this way, I would help them to do so.

I'm sorry if I offended someone with my ideas. If you don't agree with me, explain me why, try to change my ideas on the subject, but please, do not offend me, cause it surely won't help none of us.[/b]

Well, I can't define exactly the signs, but here in Brazil, at high school or even earlier, some homossexuals already show some signs of being gay, like a different way of speaking, excess of vanity and self-care... I mean, it's something hard to define, there are no rules for it, but some people simply have a behavior that "betrays" the fact that they're gay.

I have a daughter, too. She's 3 right now and I don't worry about it yet.

Homossexual teens that feel embarassed about they're condition and feel uncomfortable about the way their parents behave in relation to it should try to understand how hard it is for them to find out his/her son/daughter is gay. Parents will always love and defend their kids no matter what happens, but it's hard on them finding out that something "went different" with their children, that things won't be the way they dreamed about (in fact, things never are the way they dream, not even for the "straight" ones...) and that their dear kids might suffer due to this condition.

hmmmm, my daughter is 9 years old, I didn't find any sign of being lesbian from her yet so far. she prefers boys to girls; she always receives some gifts from boys, of course, she often offers her homework to boys so that they can copy word for word, I guess that's why she receives gifts from boys Laughing

once I asked her:"what do you want to be when you grow up?", she answered:"I wanna be a mom! with 4 kids and a handsome husband!!" Laughing

I remember, when she was in her preschool, she asked me:"mom, a boy wants to marry me so that we can exchange our toys, may I?"

"but you are too young to get married. and you even don't know whether he is your Mr.Right or not" said I.

"I am sure he is my Mr.Right!!" said she.

"how do you know?" asked I.

"come on!!! mom! he has so many toys!!! all kinds of toys!! he even has dolls!!! I will appreciate if he marries me." answered she. Laughing

hmmmm, I don't know if all above are supposed to be the signs of that she is NOT a lesbian. but she acts exactly like I did when I was at her age. and I am straight, I guess she is too.

it's simply big mistake toward nature and humanity.

i can't imagine that will be natural in our daily life

just like what happen between married people.

non-stop desire in strange things

my regards

RedRose, I believe your daughter not only is straight, but is also very smart too Wink

Can people in China have four children? When I was a child I was told that Chinese were only allowed to have one son/daughter. Was it true? Or was it only a strong recommendation?

By the way, I wish you would place your opinion on this topic I've created on the "Culture" community of this forum, if you're pleased:

Thanks in advance!
