The_Kat Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 What would you do if your found out someone in your family was gay? Apparently my lil 18 year old cousin just came out of the closet as a lesbian. My family is BIG TIME against same sex relations......This is gonna be an awkward Christmas.:chat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tedicast Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Kyle...In my opinion, it isn't any of my business. I have friends, and family members who are gay. It doesn't change who they are. Thats my opinion. I know all the religious arguments, but in all reality, it doesn't affect me in any way what someones sexual preference is. I know i'm probably gonna get hammered here for this, but it is how I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 What would you do if your found out someone in your family was gay? Accept it and move on. That was I did about earlier in the year when we found out one of my cousins was gay. She was and still is like a sister to me. It didn't change our relationship, there was no need to. She is the same exact person she was before we found out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 You won't get hammered. I agree with you. My family is very old school religious so I know it's not gonna go over well, but nobody will say a word. It will be awkward quiet lol. It's not my life.

Hunt or be Hunted Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I got 2 or 3 friends that are gay/ lesbian. Don't change the way I look at them. Yes I think a girl should be with a guy, Guy should be with a girl. But whatever makes their boat sail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newarcher Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Pray for her, I guess that's all you can do. For some reason people want to single out being gay as the holy grail of sins....but to God there are no big sins or little sins. The Bible does say that being a homosexual is an abomination to the Lord but I think all sin is that way to the Lord. In any event, unless my life is a sparkling clear, clean life, I have no reason or ability to judge anyone else for their actions. Having said that, if she was at family events there would be no lovie dovey kissing and hand holding, especially if young kids are around. That's my take, New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Oh you can bet the GF will not be allowed over for family events. No way on earth my grandpa would go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newarcher Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I guess in every family there are so-called black sheep in every family. While we don't have any gays or lesbians.....we do have a flaming (gosh this is hard to say) Democrat! New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know i'm probably gonna get hammered here for this, but it is how I feel. You won't get hammered from me, completely agree. Nature vs. nurture is like crossbow vs longbow with some members in here, everyone has an opinion, and I doubt you're going to change anyone's opinion.

Dawg Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) I have a cousin (guy) who came out of the closet about a year ago, another cousin (girl) who did this year and my wife has a cousin (guy) who did the same about 5 years ago. I never talked with them before they came out of the closet so it really hasn't changed anything because I still don't talk with them. I just won't shake their hands anymore (never know where they might have been the night before.) Edited December 13, 2010 by Dawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92xj Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 As for my opinion on this matter, meh, I dont care. It's just like religion to me, you believe whatever it is you want to believe but dont preach to me and I won't preach to you. If you want to be gay, then be gay, just dont be gay to me. I have had a lot of gay female friends in the past, and only 1 or 2 dude friends. They were all cool in my book. I think more people should come out and be honest to everyone about their sexual preference. I know there are some people I know that are gay, but they will not admot to it, even after asking them. Kinda weird to me to not be open and secure with something so huge in your life, but to each his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkneck Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I'm with New, sin is sin and one is not "lessor" or "greater" than others. Don't know that I have anyone gay in my family, but have worked with quite a few. Don't treat them any different than others, but I still feel it is immoral and you won't find me hanging out with them after work for sure. Just treat them with the same respect/courtesy you always have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I don't know. Stop hijacking Kyle's gay thread. Sorry, I haven't talked to you in a while and figured I would find you in a gay thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBow Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I also have some cousins who are gay/lesbian. They are really great people, as are their partners. I'm not saying they are great people BECAUSE they are gay/lesbian. I'm just saying that they are essentially great people, who BY-THE-WAY, just happen to be gay/lesbian. I hold no ill feelings or black sheep thoughts about the gay/lesbian cummunity, the same as I would hope that they do not hold it against me that I am heterosexual. I have known some gays/lesbians that I really didn't like, but then I know quite a few people in the heterosexual community that I didn't have any use for either. My opinions of them all weren't based on their sexual preferences. It was based on their actions as human beings towards their fellow mankind. We're all just people. What conscenting adults want to do behind closed doors, is their business. Just my $0.02. TBow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBow Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Is that in American or Canadian currency? Pretty much the same in today's markets as the Canuckistanian loonie is almost at parity with the US greenback.....well at least before the banks get ahold of it all and try to exchange it. ....that's what she should be bashing! BANKS, not sexual orientations. TBow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
