Do Christians realize how much damage they cause to their gay children by guilting them for being who they are?

Here's the thing. Christians like to take a sentence of the Bible, and twist it and make it sound like something else. It is true that the Bible says that sexual intimacy is not something welcomed in the company of God, but Christians have managed to twist it to say that being gay is bad.

These I'm sorry are bad parents. The bible always says to cherish you children, not guilt them for who they are.

Being gay is not a choice for crying out loud. A person is BORN gay because, as proven by science, every embryo is created female until the Y chromosomes kick in. A person is gay because they would have Y chromosomes, but they would have more female chromosomes rather then male chromosomes. That is something biological that happens during the sexual act or during pregnancy.

If Christians don't want gay children, then don't have children. Coz when you're going to have a baby, you have the "risk" of him/her to be born gay or lesbian etc...

And if sex, pregnancy and birth are the most beautiful and natural things to happen, why is someone being gay not considered natural?

How about you Christians chew on this information.

Christians ignore what science says and choose to believe things that they have no physical proof of. And don't say the Bible coz the Bible has been translated in different ways and interpretations throughout the years. Who knows how different today Bible is from the original Bible.

I'm a Christian BTW. And I'm not disrespecting the religion. But I'm not blinded by certain "beliefs". Science is proof, and so far, no matter how advanced science is, nothing has been proven about our religion. And that's a fact.

I don't think that this question is fair. I mean parents have their opinions and are entitled to raise their children based on their beliefs. Christians are not the only religion to cause their children to feel guilty because they are gay. There are many!

This gay thing is getting old! Like any other topic, what an adult does who lives on their own and supports themselves is nobody business but their own and at this point, their parents can either respect, or not respect their choices and move on.

But....

As long as you are living underneath your parent's roof and they are taking care of you, then you need to have enough respect for them to wait until you are on your own to live the lifestyle of your dreams!

The key word in the question is "children!"

It's bewildering how flesh and blood and shared genetics can be trumped so eagerly by belief in some old stale primitive legends purported to be something called "the Word of God" first spread by word of mouth for about a century, and we all know how well that method hands down supposedly divine information, then once written by no one knows for sure, it was copied and translated and interpreted how many, many times, only to reach the ears of folks today by alpha, charismatic preachers with unknown motives and unknown mental illnesses to finally settle down in the sanctity of the home, ever present to divided and cause unknown amount of sorrow and unhappiness. Thank you Lord!

You should support your children and love them,and meet them where they are and not where you imagine they should be. I think your right but it is not Christians

only but general population and other religious groups. In fact i have found some Christians understanding where the issue has come up in their families.

I see no reason to judge people in such matters. I am much more concerned for those who hurt people in fact as you have suggested.

How is it then for the Christian parents?

Easy to say they should do this, shouldn't do that...and I imagine the parents

are somewhat aware of this also.

But how is it for them who wiped their ***, changed their diapers, taught

them all those things, spend unbelievable amounts of money on them,

feed, clothe, provide shelter and now we get to hear what they are

doing wrong?

Not too hard on them, right?

They of course should not expect anything, correct?

So why should they have kids, then?

Just wondering about the reasons here...is it so they can

babysit the grandkids when they are 60, or is it so they

can be very careful around their gay kids while they

can't find work at 25?

Just wondering how it might be for them.

And this Christianity motivated, sexuality based damage is confined to homosexual children how?

As if normative human sexuality was not also rigorously stifled and imbued with guilt and fear by religious interference.

I certainly hope so.

And for the person that said sexuality is not identity, that is only true to an extent. I'm sure that you would feel that you were being prevented from assuming your true identity if it were the other way around. If you were straight and being gay was normal, how would you feel if told that you had to date someone of the same gender anyways or pretend to agree? Probably not so great.

When I first came to the States, children used to make fun of me because of my poor English. (trust me, I could tell), and they would make basically racial jokes. I admit, there was a time I wanted to kill myself over it because I didn't feel like I belonged. I didn't belong in Japan and now I didn't belong in America.

I've always sympathized with homosexuals over that. It does hurt when people mock or don't accept who you are. Unless that's happened to you, you don't understand what kind of dark place that is

Are we not to teach the Bible and about sin to our children? Shall we not teach that lying is a sin to our children? What morals do you teach your children? Is there no right and wrong, but only opinions?

Obviously not, if the did ,they wouldn't be Christians, and their kids would grow up without contemplating suicide
