re: #270 Aceofwhat?

I don’t want a promiscuous child. Exploring every possible desire necessarily requires promiscuity. My child may have latent desires for all sorts of things. If they exhibit heterosexual tendencies, I will encourage those and discourage all others. If they exhibit solely homosexual tendencies, I will do my best to guide them in that respect as well. Sexual experimentation outside of a committed, long-term relationship is something I’ll discourage as best I can within the bounds of good parenting.

I never said I don’t want a gay child. I said that a heterosexual child is not benefited by an encouragement to explore other avenues.

And you just accused those who advocate teaching of respect for all as being the same damn thing as encouraging lots of teen sex, with no respect to gender or number. Really, Ace? MassResistance update their talking points?

What I would think a parent would want to do is communicate to their child how to be a good partner, and let the gender of that future partner or partners be left unimportant. You’re acting as if the possibilities of being a parent to hetero or homo kids somehow imply radically and wildly different paths, that being a parent to a gay kid somehow requires learning and teaching different sexual values and relationship rules. It really doesn’t.
