"We love you unconditionally, but on one condition. You have to be straight" the contradiction with those type of parents

[@love23music1]

I hate those type of people

[@KcMove2Smoove]

I mean i can understand, they raised you for how many years, spent a lot much money on you and if they raised you to be straight and not gay but then you go and become gay anyway, i can see why they are mad i mean if they knew you would've went gay/lesbian they woulda never raised you in the first place, or just raised you a different type of way.

[@ajaarmstrong4423]

ForKing truth is, sexuality is independent of choice. Having a child is like playing a game of lucky dip, you know it’s gonna be human and will need to be fed, clothes and sheltered. However, it’s an entirely different person. You learn that they have their own personality traits, likes/dislikes, interests in certain things and even their looks and physiology is mainly independent of what a parent may expect. Projecting an image or idea unto a child doesn’t work, they’ll be their own person regardless. The difference is whether they hide it from you or not. Regardless of what methods people use they won’t train the gay out of a child, they’ll only effect the way in which it’s expressed. Their kid would just be gay on the down low. There’s evidence of that abundantly. Down low/repressed lgbt people usually always have conservative/religious/homophobic background. That’s why some of them get married or in relationships for the image and do their thing in secret

[@pru666]

In fairness to the parents, they probably do love her unconditionally and they are just trying to cure them of what they were being told is a curable disease. Can't really say from personal experience because I was never sent to gay cure therapy, I put myself through it behind my parents' backs. But from what I saw of the other people's parents I don't think they did it because they didn't love their kid. I just saw people who *knew* that the minister spoke for God, *knew* that God wouldn't lie to them and therefore *knew* that God was telling them that their kid had the gay, that the gay was evil and that the gay could be cured. And they would do anything to "help" their kid because they loved them

"The scientists found that genetics could explain 8-25% of the variation in sexual behaviour." "This suggests that there are a lot of genes that influence sexual behaviour, many of which researchers haven’t found yet, says Ganna." Here's the study if you wanna read it, www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-02585-6#ref-CR1 But, yeah, in short the study basically said there is no gay gene, and your sexuality isn't a choice. On another note, if being gay were a choice, wouldn't that technically make everyone pansexual? 🤔

`We love her unconditionally` as long as she isn't a lesbian. That's not unconditional love.

“These aren’t religious people, they’re people who use religion as a weapon.” Couldn’t have said it better myself. I know lgbtq+ people who go to church too and I know some of the nicest welcoming Christian parents and family’s.

Sorry Dead end being nice won't get you into heaven. The qualification is to be born again.

[@dan69052]

the truth If you are gay or know someone who is, this is important information! Sexual orientation is determined in the womb during fetus development. Various hormones are introduced at specific times to accomplish this .The fetus plays no part in this process. A person is, therefore, born with a predetermined attraction. It is, therefore, not a choice & consequently not a sin & not immoral. It is a natural expression of mammals & found commonplace in nature. Intelligent research in this area clearly explains this process. If you are truly interested in truth, based on knowledge, the book Gay, Straight & the Reason Why by Dr. Simon Levay shows this with numerous research articles. If you want to understand the truth & have respect for yourself & others this book will help. It also has, unlike the bible written over 2000 years by men that had no understanding of science, an extensive bibliography. I strongly recommend the book. Don’t let the religious pull you down to their level of ignorance. Peace

@@_deademuse_4776 Wrong on every count. The Bible says that NO ONE comes to the Father except through Jesus Christ. It says that Jesus died on the cross to save us. it says we have all sinned and come short of God's standard. It says not one of us is righteous. It says the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked. it says that salvation is from the Lord. It says that as many as receive him, to them he gives the right to become sons of God. In other words all your good works in the world won't do you a scrap of good. You cannot earn your salvation.

@@rionox5005 ok this is a common misconception and it’s definitely the root of a lot of homophobia. Usually I’d get annoyed at someone for saying something like this but you’ve been respectful about it and clearly you are actually interested. Being a member of the lgbtq+ community is not a choice. It is something you are genetically born with. Whether you are straight or gay or bisexual or transgender that is something you cannot change. This is why conversion therapy doesn’t work and is harmful. This is why forcing gay men into straight marriages doesn’t work and is harmful. This is not something we decide and therefore not something we can change or “fix”. I hope this helps you be more understanding and you can go on to educate others :)

You obviously don't know marnie that being happy is a choice.
