Furious!

That is so messed up.

 

They say their mission is not to turn gays straight but that's exactly what they're doing. I disprove.

 

Good for you!

WHY DO THESE PEOPLE EVEN CARE!?!?!?!? WHY CAN'T THEY JUST MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS AND LEAVE PEOPLE TO LIVE THE LIVES THEY WERE MEANT TO LIVE????

 

sounds ucky to me

 

"issue of homosexuality" and "loved one who deals with homosexuality" really put me off there, despite whatever intentions they have. Oh that's right, to turn gays straight.

Ridiculous! Seriously.

 

No it's not... since that's IMPOSSIBLE!!!. They can try but they will not succeed.

So Becky... did this uncle of yours know about your association with PFLAG and purposely trying to make a dig at you, or was it completely coincidental. Either way it doesn't help the fact that they're getting involved in something which really isn't their business. How medieval honestly... next thing you know they'll be chucking gays in to ice baths and giving them shock therapy.

NARROW MINDED FOOLS

 

*gnaws on their heads*
Foolish mortals!
*wiggles arms in dismay*
Why do these things exist? And more importantly, why do people think it's right? Or, as people have said, even their business at all?
Someone needs to take all the close minded people and put them in a giant peach basket (with a lid of course) filled with rusty mechanical squirrels... with rabies...

 

it does seem pretty stupid....how can you turn a gay staright? is it possible? lol

 

So I'm guessing that your uncle knows about your involvement with PFLAG and that you have a gay son, and this is his subtle way of telling you he's displeased with the way you've raised your kids. How frickin' low! If I were nearby, I'd join you for the afternoon just for the fun of it.

This is honestly yet another reason I just got a bumper sticker for my car that says, "GOD, please save us from your followers!"

 

Ugh, things like that are so horrible. It's so hard for people like me who've been raised in fundamentalist churches who teach that homosexuality is wrong to finally come to terms with it and accept our sexuality, and then these people come and try to tear down all the confidence we've worked so hard to build. It just ticks me off.

Although one thing I find slightly amusing is that they think the "rise in gayness" is a sign of armageddon. Seriously, that's what pepole at my church think. It's ridiculous.

I wish they'd just realize the we can't help it. They compare it to things like alcoholism, but alcoholism is a choice, you're not born with it. I certainly would never have chosen to be gay - I tried so hard to be straight at one point, and I even prayed that God would make me straight. Never did any good, wether with faith or without. God didn't make me straight, and I certainly couldn't make myself straight, so it's just so stupid that they think they can change us. Sometimes I just want to shout at them to grow up.

 

If homosexuality was wrong, in God's eyes, then he would not have allowed me to love my girlfriend as deeply as I do. I am very religious and very spiritual. God loves all his children, so much so that he gave them free will. Unfortunately, not all his children use the will in the way he means for it. How can the founders of this group say that they are following God's will, when judgement and oppression is their aim? How can they say that I, or my girlfriend, or your son, or any other gay, les, bi, transgen, etc person whom all we want to do is be free to love whomever we want, be the ones who are wrong?

I would also like to commend you on your support of your son and daughters equally. I know there are many of us that would do anything to have the understanding from our parents that you have given your son.

 

I really do find it strange that I've never gone to a church that has said that homosexuality is wrong... And if I did I really wouldn't care about what they think. ^.^

I'd go to that place, wearing a rainbow shirt and boo everyone that speaks! That would be fun. =D

 

I feel so sorry for the kids whose parents or friends actually listen to these things. It must be so hard to accept yourself and your relationships when those closest to you are trying to turn you straight or to repress your desire for relationships.

 

Go Becky

(I'd love to see a video of you handing out your PFLAG flyers to him!) :badgrin:

 

You should get your son to come here Becky, if he doesn't already. =D

Sorry I needed to say that. ;P

 

Hahaha, hopes it goes well Becky. I'd love to see you're son here.
