I just found out my son is g*y. What should I do?

Question

I have it narrowed to three choices

1. move without telling him

2. get him a subscription to a pornagraphic gentleman's magazine

3. Electrotherapy

Please answer 1, 2, or 3. Please do not give other advice like "accept him", i'm a devout catholic and would not like to incur God's wrath

Answer 1

2 for him n 3 for you lol im guessing your only reason for this question was to p**s pple off...right??? well you got it....

Answer 2

i had a good friend who took his own life because he was too scared to tell his parents that he was g*y. the ironic thing was at the end the father said "i would still love him anyway"

but when he was alive, the father always made bad comments about the way he looked,the way he brushed his hair,etc.

its sad to think that some parents think that they own their children and have to live the way the parents want.

Answer 3

How old is your son? If he is of age, that is, an adult, then, you need not worry about him. He can take care of himself. If he is a dependent, then worry about his schooling first. As soon as he can take care for himself, your worries will end  as he lives separately from your family. Let him live independently.

Don't worry about the wrath of God. The SOUL of your son  is NOT YOURS. You have done your part as a parent. Give your son a chance to be  himself and to choose the lifestyle he wanted.

Do not tell us to choose within your given choices. Although we don't really know you and your situation (best advice would be given by people who knew your situation) our perception is not limited by your circumstances. In other words, we are outside of your fence. The way you tell us to choose from the three choices, maybe is the way by which you deal with your son. You are too strict. Most of the g**s I knew came from a  family where the mother is having a strong personality , and with a father who is a weakling and irresponsible!  

Answer 4

It's amazing you can get to be a top contributor and still have the options you listed. Simply amazing. All of your choices are terrible in my view, and are in no way reflect the spirit of Jesus. Please pray for a conscience.

edit:

Some of my family members are practicing Catholics and they accept and love me.

Answer 5

1. move without telling him

This is abandonment, severe rejection. How would you have felt had your mother done this? This will only result in pain (on both sides) and psychological scaring. Is that what you really want?

2. get him a subscription to a pornagraphic gentleman's magazine

Odd option here. Being g*y is not just about s*x, this will only send mixed messages. It will not help, this is not what he will want, or need. Forget it.

3. Electrotherapy

This is an outdated procedure that amounts to little more than torture that will change nothing of his sexuality but will leave him psychologically disturbed. You would be seeking to pathologise him, destroy his self-confidence, build resentment towards both yourself and himself, in an institutionalised manner that will also cause him significant physical pain.

You would probably harm him less if you just physically beat him to a pulp. You would not consider that, so why consider electroshock therapy? Quite frankly, any institution that offers such treatment for homosexuality needs reporting to the authorities, now.

The real questions you need to be considering here is:

1) is my religious conviction more important than my son?

That is, are you prepared to choose your own personal religious beliefs over the psychological wellbeing of your son, and your relationship with him?

Dont make the wrong choice here, for your son's sake, this is indefinably important.

Answer 6

I say two because the only thing it would help is that you would lose money over stupid liberal ideology.

Answer 7

*sigh*

If this is true, then support him!

If you're actually going to ignore him then you're a very awful father!

Later you will regret it when you're old and can't even take showers without someones help. Your son will ignore and hate you just like you will!

Grow up! Get with the times! This is the 21st century!

Oooooh I swear I just want to kick you so bad below the belt so you won't have anymore babies.

Answer 8

If all you can do is 1,2,or 3, then you need some counselling,

but number 2 would be most appropriate of the three bad choices you are offering.  For goodness sake, make it a good pornographic men's magazine - ask the clerk at the local g*y literature store which g*y men's magazine has some decent articles to go with the nude shots, then at least it will be a good g*y p**n publication.

Answer 9

You're a pig, not a devout Catholic.  Believe me, you've already incurred God's wrath.  I hope your son has sense enough to realize what a swine you are and pulls the plug on you before you destroy him.  I doubt that anybody as stupidly malevolent as you are exactly makes a secret of it--So watch your step.

Answer 10

4. **** yourself.

Answer 11

i would hope for 2.  i am assuming that a gentlemans magasine is a magasine with gentlement in it

Answer 12

4 sthu

Answer 13

What should you do?

You should stop lurking around here first of all, troll.

Answer 14

If god is so forgiveful as what you guys say then let him be g*y, it's not like he chose to be, he was born to be! Be proud of your own son man!!!

Answer 15

1. because your a terrible parent and i believe your son will be better for it in the long run.  

Answer 16

1. move without telling him

What a great father, and role model you are to your son.

2. get him a subscription to a pornagraphic gentleman's magazine

Some Christian you are...

3. Electrotherapy

Are we still in the freaking Dark Ages? Come on man, think realistically.

Answer 17

hey,,, be open mind and don't be in a BOX of society ,, just leave him discover himself, and concerning you,, please try to be more accepting to this kind of situations and don't blame him for any choice he made in his life. and by the way none of your 3 choices are the write answer

Answer 18

urm im a catholic and last time i checked i liked guys

just be a frikin proper dad to your son what is it with all these crapy dads for god sake hes your own flesh and blood and being g*y is not gonna change that

Answer 19

ppray to your god that he runs as fast as he can away from your dumba** and never comes back and finds a loving supportive real family somewhere out there that loves him just as he is

a wise man once "accept me as i am only then will we discover each other"  

Answer 20

2 is the least retarded.  but all of your choices are retarded.  and a devout catholic wouldn't want to incur god's wrath by judging him either

"judge not lest ye be judged"

Answer 21

You should do nothing but let him be naturally g*y. It's a shock, yes, but now you must learn at least a little bit to understand g*y culture, because in that, your understanding your son a lttle more. It will be unplesant to you, but thats part if what parenting is about.

Answer 22

You need a new screen name. You're not smarter than me, or anyone else I know.

Answer 23

Not 1. Not 2. Not 3.

I do see why your answers were what they were. Your question is not exactly a loving one. I think that God prefers us to love one another, not judge our own children.

If those are your only choices, he might be better off if you did move away from him. I feel for your son.

I answered more than you asked because you asked another question about why you are being judged. I was able to find out for myself. I'm sorry you consider yourself a devout anything.  

Answer 24

Tell him he is too good for you then take a bottle of pills.

Answer 25

I think you've already incurred God's wrath with this disgusting question.

Answer 26

1. Move without telling him. By the sounds of it, he'd be better off without you in his life.

Answer 27

it surprises me how ignorant some people really still are, you really should educate your self on g*y youth and maybe you'll change your tunes, because of people like YOU, teen that think that they might be g*y, hate themselves and try to commit suicide, cause they feel that they're not loved, because of something they cant controll.

shame on you ma'am for preaching hate, i hope your son is able to get as far away from you as possible

Answer 28

4. Go back to Trolling 101.  You've failed.

Answer 29

Dude, wtf, if your son is g*y, your son is g*y, THATS IT! You cant change someone's personallity.

And you know what? Your a terrible father, people like you shouldn't even have children, your son would be better off without you, so yeah, move without telling him, he'll be so much better off. And let me suggest some place that you could move to, theres a new condo opening in the flaming rivers of h**l, you should go there.

Answer 30

I just answered the other question about why you hate me, and deleted after reading this question.

As you are devoted catholic, you can't electrocute anybody, unfortunately not even yourself, it might have been good to do it on you.

You can't get him porno, it is against you religion, idiot.

You cannot leave him, again for religion....

I wonder, you are a top contributor and you come out with the three dumbest solution on earth? against any moral, first of all the catholic-one?

You say you are catholic, let me tell you, I am not, but I was educated one, and I can say that with this post you should be ashamed of yourself, ask for forgiveness, and accept the fact that as father you are maybe worth nothing, and it is probably your responsibility that your son is g*y, as you sound homophobic and that often induce a tendency for a liberal rebel mind to react.

ask you son what is it that you should do, moron.

Answer 31

OKAY

IF YOU WERE A GOOD PARENT, YOU WOULD ACCEPT HIM

EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE A CATHOLIC

"GOD" MADE HIM THAT WAY

F***INGDIP$H!+

...homophobes p**s me off
