No Way!!

[vaitulu]

If It Doesn't Feel Right, It's Probably Not Right! Take It This Way - If Your Son Were To Hang Around A Bunch Of Drug Addicts - Do You Really Think He's Going To Grow Up And Not Do Drugs?- Not Likely!! Keep Him Away From Negative Environments, And You'll Be Better Off In The Future! He'll Probably Grow Up And Thank You For It!

IF IT DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT, IT'S PROBABLY NOT RIGHT!! tAKE IT THIS WAY - IF YOUR SON WERE TO HANG AROUND A BUNCH OF DRUG ADDICTS - DO YOU REALLY THINK HE'S GOING TO GROW UP AND NOT DO DRUGS?- NOT LIKELY!!! KEEP HIM AWAY FROM NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENTS, AND YOU'LL BE BETTER OFF IN THE FUTURE!! hE'LL PROBABLY GROW UP AND THANK YOU FOR IT!!

I like the lowercase letters at the beginning of the sentences. I hate it when I forget to turn caps lock off, and that happens :)

I think I agree with you... as long as by the drug comment, you didn't mean to keep him away from homosexuals or he'll grow up that way.

I really don't think the homosexuality is the issue here. If they're not doing respectable things, have no ambitions, and lack a will to do anything, I'd probably not let him have too much contact with them. It would still be good to see them once and a while, it might even encourage your son to do better than they did, because he can see how they turned out. Plus, they're still family... I personally don't believe you should ever cut yourself off comnpletely from a family member, no matter how bad they may be.

Unfortunately, if you do decide to keep your son from going over there, people WILL probably think it's just because most of them are homosexual. Don't let that bother you, as long as you know that you're doing it for the right reasons.

It is not odd that more than one person in the family is homosexual. Since it is shown that homosexuality is linked to genetics, there is a higher rate of homosexuality in one family. So it's not that they "chose" that lifestyle just because their family members were homosexual.

As far as everything else, I agree with retsoksirhc... you need to figure out if you are basing your decision on the fact that they are homosexual, or that they act in a way around your child that you think is harmful. Once you can honestly answer that question it should be an easy decision.

Obviously if they are acting in a way that would cause harm to your child, of course you child shouldn't be put in that situation. If you are honestly just unsure about letting you child be around them because 3 of them are homosexual, keeping your child away from family because of that is unreasonable.

It is not unreasonable if you firmlly believe it's wrong. That is a matter of choice by the parent. I know it's not PC, but if you have a moral problem with homosexuality, then yes you are not going to want your child around them. If you have no problem with it but don't like the way they may live their life, then again it's your choice as a parent.
Either way, you can treat them with respect when you are round them. You can have a problem with someone's lifestyle but still be respectful.

Since children are also influence by their surroundings and the people they come in contact, speaking for myself I would say NO

[LearningAsIGo]

There is nothing wrong with your son being around his aunts and uncles. Basically, that's all they are; Aunts and Uncles. Not homosexual, heterosexual, or anything else. As long as they love him and show him care, he's in no harm.

The bonus is that he will be a more tolerant and understanding adult one day.

If however, you chose to remove him from that environment, you'll someday have to face him when he asks why he wasn't allowed to see his family.

Its your call, so good luck.

If you are basing this decision on sexual orientation, whether you firmly believe homosexuality is wrong, you are being unreasonable. The aunt and uncles' sexual orientation should not be the basis of this decision. What should be is their quality of character.

There is NOTHING WRONG for a child to be taken care of, raised, surrounded by homosexuality; A MAN and A WOMAN, A WOMAN & A WOMAN, or A MAN & A MAN, OR any other MAN/WOMAN can raise their child. There is NOTHING wrong with it. Unless your like those homophobic nubs who have nothing to say but trash talk then I suggest you close your mouth..

Anyway, I have a lot of gays, lesbians, ts/tg friends and they are very wonderful; I take my 3yr old nephew to see them, which my nephew calls them "auntie" or "uncle" which is very cute. All that matters is if your give love, you'll receive love. :)

If you give hate; you'll receive hate.. (I suggest not going that way)

Talk; communicate is the key, discuss it with your child, friends, families, etc. Get out of the shell and ask, hiding won't do any good.

You are opening up threads that are years old - please read before you post.

I realize you are posting on the various homosexual threads and apparently have some message you would like to send. Why don't you start your own thread?
