Yeah, I suppose you're right... There's also the thing that you're may be less likely to give them grand kids which could be a disappointment.
But seriously Rick, I know you're straight and that you've got a girlfriend etc but you are a wasted gay opportunity! You're open minded about it, you've got gay friends and you've even had a chat to your mum about "what if" you were gay! I didn't actually have the guts to tell my parents til I was nearly 30 (although it had got pretty obvious by then) and I am actually gay! You had the conversation anyway!
Hah!
I suspect it's easier to have the conversation if you know it's hypothetical....And she's Dutch....

Erm.

Girlfriend insists obviously. That I have strong opinions on the 4, let alone Burger, Aiden (who's decidedly irritating), and am a big Harry & Miranda fan is all a total coincidence.0 -

SATC 1 was fine.
2 was one of the worst films I've ever seen. I didn't have much expectation, but it was truly awful > objectively.
I think SATC's format (obviously) doesn't suit being transferred to a longer full length film.0 -

Yeah 2 wasn't up to much.... Sending them to Abu DhabI? What was that all about?! Part of the charm was that it was based in NY and that it was so spontaneous.... And it's depiction of Muslims and Muslim life was so US-centric. Cringeworthy!Do not write below this line. Office use only.0 -

I thought number 1 was better but as you say, it doesn't translate that well to the big screen, the films lack the fast moving spontaneity of the programmes themselves. The films and the later programmes also started to revolve around the clothes and product placement I thought....Do not write below this line. Office use only.0 -

Actually, I'd be interested, how would you lot feel if your kids did turn out to be gay? I'd just be interested to know how you would respond? Would you be angry? Feel like a failure? Would anyone actually not give a jot? Why? I'd be interested in your genuine thoughts and completely understand, don't spare us the truth!
Short, truthful answer? I don't know.
Would my reaction be different if my kid were male or female? I really don't know.
If they had a liking for skinny jeans? Not under my roof.
What I do know is that in my time I've met homosexuals where being gay is literally the only thing about them. It's a sexuality not a personality trait. That's what I like about you. You're gay and that means you fancy me. But fancying me isn't the only thing you're about...

Glad to hear that you wouldn't turf your kid(s) out for being gay! I knew that you wouldn't exactly welcome it!Do not write below this line. Office use only.0 -
A colleague of mine was telling me how he was going to get married to a girl - until she caught him in bed with her brother! I love that story - really appeals to my sense of humour. His "Bi" status was hilarious though. I'd be totally relaxed if any of my kids turned out gay.
TBH the only time I've felt uncomfortable was working with a post-op transexual (he to she). She looked hardly anything like a woman and sweated like a bloke. It messed far more with my subconscious than my conscious. Very odd (my reaction).
I threaten to embarrass my kids with my lycra - but never do. Teenagers hate that more than just about anything.ROAD < Scott Foil HMX Di2, Volagi Liscio Di2, Jamis Renegade Elite Di2, Cube Reaction Race > ROUGH0 -

I'm kind of expecting it. My dad is quite camp. I'm a bit camper. If it's not one of mine surely it'll be one of theirs.

I wondered how I'd react if it were the case. I think that they're happiness is obviously the most important thing. Sorry to say but I think I would feel a bit strange about it. Not angry, uncomfortable.
At work a while back a colleague and I were looking over at the building opposite as there were lots of lovely young ladies in and out of there. A bloke was unloading a Suzuki Vitara. I said "what self respecting bloke would drive one of them?" the chap I was with told me both of his sons owned one. I tried to extract my foot from my mouth. He told me not to worry one was the wife's car, but the other was gay. I back pedalled furiously and told him I didn't mean anything by it. He told me not to worry as he had done far worse. His son came out in the middle of an argument just after he had uttered the words "what's the matter with you? Are you gay or something?" he wasn't expecting the answer he got and was utterly mortified. He said it was a long time before his son would talk to him again. He obviously loves his son wants him to be happy more than anything else. He said it is no longer an issue but that moment took a long time to recover from.0 -

Uncomfortable is the best word I could come up with. Trying to be honest with myself as well. I'm quite conservative in many ways, but I wouldn't be angry, maybe a little disappointed. It would just sit funny.
Strange conversation with the boy after the summer holiday. He confided in me that he'd kissed a girl. I asked how it was and he said he thought it was alright but couldn't be sure as he had no point of reference. He was nearly 13, she was 14. He's doing better than I did at that age.0 -

Well I'd kissed a girl and had a "girlfriend" at the age of 11, so don't count your chickens quite yet! Perhaps I peaked to early...Do not write below this line. Office use only.0 -
My wife is always amazed at the number of gay friends I manage to pick up too. I think she's jealous.
I used to go to school with twins, girl and a boy both gay, bit weird that, like their sexuality got mixed up in the womb.

One of my wife's friends is one of a pair of identical twins who are both gay. Never had much time for the idea that it is some sort of lifestyle choice.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

I'd probably thrash him to within an inch of his life, then send a note to the local skinheads/BNP to get over fast.
In reality, it wouldn't bother me at all. I know enough gay people for it not to be alarming or of any concern. You are either gay or straight and nothing you can ever do will change that.0 -
I imagine that many of the anger/disapointment responses are just expressions of discomfort. Kind of like louder grunting or that screeching noise that chimps make when they are bothered about something.Headhuunter wrote:Uncomfortable is an unusual response!

In answer to your earlier question HH; I don't have kids, only cats. And if I found out I had a gay cat I'd send him on Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride, to the gay homosexual animal sanctuary.0 -
