@TheAgent, yeah odds are your kid will be straight but in the flip side that percentage is rising
-
@The Big Hodge, its important to note the percentage rise isn't caused by more people turning LGBT, its caused by more people being socially accepted for exploring it and realizing they were LGBT the whole time.
-
@Scotch Pilgrim, well yeah of course! the more socially acceptable it is the more people come out about it. it's not like you've been straight for years and then one second you can't get it up (from a guys perspective) to a woman and can only for a guy
-
@The Big Hodge, unless you have a really messed up childhood. Hahaha
-
@TheAgent, that's the number of people who are confident enough to report as LGBT. The number is rising because more and more people are becoming confident enough to be open enough with themselves to accurately report their sexuality thanks to modern societal acceptance in most places.
-
@The Big Hodge, not sure if that percentage is rising because they feel more comfortable comming iut or because they are pretending to be gay( while not actually looking for partners) for liberal victim points.
-
@The Big Hodge, How is that possible? If being gay is genetic and not a choice, then the percentage of people who are gay shouldn't really fluctuate just because they are more accepted. Gay marriage didn't suddenly create more gay people
-
@King Millner, ...the percentage is based on known knowledge of who is and who isn't gay..the more acceptable it is, the more people will come out. it has nothing to do with whether it is genetic or not. if it was completely unaccepted in society, then a very low percentage would be recorded as gay because there would be a fear of coming out
-
@TheAgent, there are only that many of us?
-
9, 10, 11, 12 There is a dildo on my shelve
-
@HomosexualSayWhat, close enough
-
13, 14, 15, 16 Im a guy-who-likes-djck teen
-
@HomosexualSayWhat, what
-
@LeafyIsHere, It's something!
-
@amqwetts2147, 17, 18, 19, 20 Play with dildos, I have many
-
@HomosexualSayWhat, 13,14,15,16 Kill the gays
-
@cmtpleasant, Omg wtf???? ...... That didn't rhyme!
-
Yes because it's totally unreasonable to assume your kid will be if the statistucal mass-majority
-
@Davrial, yes! there you go! you got it! guys, he gets it
-
@Davrial, But it's not unreasonable to try not to make any assumptions at all, so if your kid is gay they don't think they're not living up to your expectations. It's all too easy to do what my mom did... "Do you like any girls?" "No." "Do you like any boys?" "No." "Alright, well let me know if you do." Continually asking about girls your son has a crush on (or boys your daughter has a crush on) without occasionally tossing in other possibilities is a recipe for disaster if your kid actually turns out to not be straight.
-
@Ruupasya, no its not. It's perfectly reasonable to assume your kid is straight. If they then say their gay, so be it, but no need to cover every unlikely possibility.
-
@Oujosh29, No, because then you're making them feel like they have to be that way. If your father says over and over again how much he's looking forward to you taking over the family business, is it going to be hard to admit that you want to be a pilot? Yes. It'll feel like you're disappointing him. Even with my mom obviously not caring what my sexuality was, it was *still* hard to admit that I was not as straight as I had assumed. I can't even imagine what it would have been like if all I had heard growing up was one expectation continuously repeated.
-
@Ruupasya, Yes because your personal angst should definitely be the grounds for his all parents treat an extremely unlikely possibility
-
@Davrial, It's not angst. I was fine. But thousands of kids are not fine. It's not like I'm asking parents to make big, earth-shattering changes. All they have to do is be more conscious of the language they use. It's not hard. It takes no extra effort. So why not do it?
-
@Ruupasya, there's a lot of things that wouldn't be hard to do, doesn't mean you should. Besides, parents don't pester there kids with "you got a girlfriend yet"? The amount of pressure you're assuming parents put on kids is way over exaggerated.
-
@Oujosh29, I think you're underexaggerating how much parents pester their kids about things like that, but whatever. Give me one good reason not to rephrase "Got a girlfriend?" to "Are you seeing anyone?". Why *shouldn't* you use neutral language?
-
@Ruupasya, because the chances of your kid being LGBT is in the single digits, so why should you?
-
@Ruupasya, So to every person you meet you should first start by saying "are you an unemployed and black?" Just cause that's 1.5% or so of the population?
-
@Ruupasya, you shouldn't use neutral language because you will confuse kids. You don't go around asking kindergarteners "hey little Johnny, do you identify as a cat? A dog? An animal? You know you can little Johnny, just say the word!"
-
Really getting tired of this bs getting shoved down my throat.
-
This is a great awareness sign, more people need to check their children for scoliosis. Faith in humanity restored
-
Actually, because the gays make up such a small percentage of our population, it IS safe to assume that your kids are straight.
-
@King Millner, Yeah, your kid is *probably* straight, but it's not safe to go about life assuming that's a fact because it might lead your kid to believe that they'd be disappointing you if they don't turn out the way you expect. It's all too easy to do what my mom did... "Do you like any girls?" "No." "Do you like any boys?" "No." "Alright, well let me know if you do."
-
@Ruupasya, That's not right at all. If you force your kid to be straight and tell them that they shouldn't be gay but then they are, THEN they will feel like they disappointed you. If you just assume that they are straight but they are gay, then they should just recognize that gays make up a small minority of the population so it's not a big deal to assume one is straight.
-
Don't force your degeneracy onto children.
-
Seeing as how those are the preschool fridge magnet numbers, I'm gonna go ahead and assume that the children in question have no idea that their junk does anything more than make peepee, and love is that weird word mommies and daddies day to each other before putting their mouths where food is supposed to go. (Each other's mouths is what I'm implying. You dirty birdy.)
-
9 10 11 12, if she is 13 I'm 13
-
If I were to have kids, I don't think I would
-
I feel that I speak for a lot of gay people when I say "Who the fück cares if someone assumes you are gay?" most people arent.
-
There's so much publicity of gays and whatnot, it really is surprising to hear it's only coming from 3.5% of the populace.
-
Good grief...

Rest in Peace Ali. Champion of the people.

Can someone please give me a step by step on how to upload mynown pic via gravatar

@Edgar Allan Pro, it's a mystery.
Considering only 3.5% of the population is gay/lesbian or bi, I think the odds are in my favor that my kids will be straight
