I wouldn't have a problem with that.


Mmm, I think she meant something else, but oh well.

I'd say "how great is that?!". bigrazz



Lol swan
and well i said it that way cz, if u read yaoi u r ok with gay ppl at least in this kind of stories but what about in real life? and well i said what if ur son is gay? cz even if u dont hav or wont, thats something most ppl consider very important, so u would think twice before telling
One thing is seeing it in others, but what about when it comes to u?
something like that is what i meant,... but the threat is good this way 2.. gives more options. confused ^^ .

I think there isn't a thread like this just for people who like yaoi.
But it's in the wrong section then.

Anyways, I'm 100% fine with that. (and everyone knows thaat I like yaoi ;p )
Whether it's family members or my own kids.
All the same.
And I have mentioned how I'd rather having gay kids... lol, yeah, I know, it's another type of discrimination...

Interesting thread~
I have met people who read yaoi but are against the same thing in real life, for some reason. >_>

I of course love yaoi and am okay with homosexuality, be it a member of my family or a friend. I would accept any son of mine who is gay as well, nothing wrong with it. My family is also very open about this, and they know my preference, so no big deal there.

@Swan- laugh Yes, I have heard about your preference for gay kids. How nice~^-^

I'm perfectly fine with it. As long as the kid is happy and not being abused, whatever happens, happens.

It wouldn't matter to me what my child's, or any other family members, preferences were. As long as they are happy, then I'm happy.

Pfft, doesn't matter to me. I'm never having kids anyways, but if it was straight, gay, a tranny, I doubt I'd really care.

Though trannies scare me a bit. none

I have gay family members, and i don't care.

A persons preference is not my concern.

I'd only hate it if my gay kid was one of those obnoxious flamboyant ones that talks in an unnaturally high voice and insists on making a huge deal about being gay. But then again I don't hate those gays because they are gay. I hate them because they give me headaches.

I only started yaoi and yuri because I thought I was being a hypocrite by not reading them O_O I'm all for gay rights and stuff, since I hate discrimination of any kind. Plus, a lot of my friends are gay. One of my best friends came out of the closet a couple of years ago... and I'm really glad his family was okay with it (even okay with his boyfriend sleeping over!) I hope all parents are like that.

Goes without saying that I wouldn't care at all about my future children's sexual preference.

I don't read yaoi/yuri (much), but I wouldn't care if one/both of my kids, or any other family member, was gay. I'd be a bit concerned for their welfare because there's still so much discrimination out there, but more along the lines of my mom being worried when I became a single mom than any feeling of it being "wrong".

I don't think anyone in my family would care, actually. We're pretty cool that way. biggrin

My aunt told my mom about a dream she had that her 37-year-old unmarried son introduced her to his male partner, and her only reaction was, "well, how nice that he's found someone!!" (In reality, my cousin isn't gay as far as I know, he has dated & had relationships with women, but right now he seems happy on his own.)

A few years ago, my aunt (who is my age, & her daughter is the same age as my kids) was talking about "when she starts dating boys" and when I said something about "what if she starts dating girls?" her response was something like, "girls can be soooo mean, though...I think it would be easier to date boys. But if she dates girls, I won't have to worry about her getting pregnant!" laugh

I've talked about it with my boys, too, though mainly in the context of "why the word 'gay' shouldn't be used to mean 'lame'". roll eyes They know that I have no problem with it, so hopefully if either of them is gay, they won't worry too much about telling me so.

Oh, and my step-dad's step-mom's daughter used to be her son...if that makes any sense at all... I've only met her briefly when she was still "he" but my mom spent a lot of time with her & really likes her. eyes

lol, there is always a good side,..

I would be kinda "worried"?? i guess it fits..
I couldnt stop asking me this...
cz idunno, i consider myself very open minded.. i like to try new things, and accept the things as they are...
but then again .. if my son were gay...

is not that i would hate a son of mine for that reason, at least i wouldnt, but then ill be worried, the world is such a.. weird thing... when something is not how is "suppose" to be, then, everyone is against it..

But i like a person who can fight for it, just to be accepted for what they are, to show that is not ur preference what makes a person...
even if i think i wouldnt take the matter lightly, i think i would hope for that person, family or friend to get over the situation and keep going on
is not worth it if u cant at least like what u like..
well u know xD
