re: #226 Aceofwhat?

That supports my point. Such a person is not gay, they are bisexual. I don’t care if my children find out later that they are bisexual. At least I will have done my duty to help them craft their initial identity.

I don’t understand this at all. How have you done your duty? What duty did you perform? What did you achieve?

Saying that i intend to “shame my children into being bisexual” is not disagreeing with my parenting methods.

Good thing I didn’t say you intended to shame them, and never said what you would do would push them into bisexuality, then. Putting words in my mouth isn’t cool. I said that what you would accomplish was that they wouldn’t reveal their bisexuality to you— as many bisexuals do ‘pass’ and hide their sexuality from parents. And I said it because I thought it was something you didn’t intend at all— if I thought you intended to shame them, I wouldn’t be being polite to you. I have no doubt about your intent for your children to be happy and free.

At least have the stones to own it if you don’t wish to retract it. I can take it - i’m just not going to reply to it.

I don’t wish to retract anything I said, given that I didn’t say a fucking word about your intentions that wasn’t complimentary. Read it again. It’s about what is going to happen, not what you intend.
