Parents kicking out LGBT children

[James Dean]

Do you think it's okay for parents to kick out their kids for being LGBT, or do you think it's wrong.

Me personally, it depended on the situation. If the child was engaging in drug related activities and was sexually active, I believe the parents have somewhat a right in kicking them out.

If their child was a virgin, and simply struggling with their sexuality, I think the parents shouldn't kick them out, and should they turn legal age, they can move out.

What do you think?

[Stronk Serb]

Situation for kicking out:

Child is doing drugs and possibly contracted some STD, ship em off to rehab and have them stay there until adulthood.

Son: I GO TO GAY PRIDE TO GET BANGED IN THE ASS HARD!
Me: No, you will stay here. Take off that LGBT shirt you look ridiculous. You will not get banged in the ass by strangers while under this roof.
Son: DADDY YOU ARE SUCH A BIGOT, CHECK YOUR PRIVILIEGES WHY YOU HOMOPHOBIC CONSERVATIVE TYRANT!
Me: Fine, go. Don't come back or call when someone beats you up for wearing that. (we have gays who say they are macho straight men and who beat up open gays)

Situations not for kicking out:

Child: I am *insert here*. I've been trying to tell you this for months
Me: Ok, it doesn't matter. We won't kick you out. Just don't start rubbing it around to everyone, evades problems.

[Hudor]

No I don't think it's plausible to kick out one's child in either of the scenarios. Though it's completely wrong to do it just because the child is gay, I don't think the parents should kick out their child if he's doing drugs/getting STDs, basically getting wasted either. Rather I think they should sit and talk with them and try to convince them to leave their bad habits. They should work on strengthening their relations with the children rather so that he/she trusts them and has a lesser chance of going astray.
Ofc in the worst-case scenario when the child is completely out of control, they should send him/her to rehab.

What this guy said.

[Melodic]

My kid could be LGBT, sexually active, and doing drugs and I'd still not disown them. My kid could be straight, a virgin, and clean and I'd still not disown them. A parent shouldn't disown their kid simply because they don't accept the lifestyle their kid chooses to live. You shouldn't even be a parent if you can only accept your kid if they are who you want them to be.

Let's see,
Sex with strangers: bad, possibly dangerous
Narcotic abuse: bad, destroys their life

in the first case, I would tell a lesson to my child how it's bad and dangerous, second case, I would ship it off to rehab and let professionals do their work. I would visit so it doesn't feel abandoned. For smoking, I have no legitimacy to tell the child to stop, that also counts for drinking, just advise it how not to get wasted and ask them to drink less. Now, if it was using fay pride parades to hook up with strangers, I wouldn't let it leave the house. Also parades are here so dangerous that about 8000 members of the riot police has to keep them secured.

[thegreatgatz]

As a bisexual, I agree that pride parades are entirely stupid and frivolous. They are also probably hotbeds of disease.

It doesn't sound like the problem here is that the kid is homosexual.

[mattsmith48]

No if you cant accept your kid no mater what he is or what he do you shouldnt have made one and you shouldnt be able to keep it if you end up having one

[phuckphace]

this thread reminded me of why I'm glad I'll never have children, ever

whatever my hypothetical kid(s) ended up doing, it would still ultimately be my own fault for choosing to bring children into this shitty clown-world with its innumerable ways of subverting my parenting. even if my kid didn't turn out to be a raging trans-lesbian-zebra-otherkin, there's all sorts of drugs he could sell/get fucked up on, or stripper poles she could dance on, etc. I was born 60 years too late myself, no need to pop out a kid right as The Decline enters Stage III

I don't at all mean allow your kid to take part in sex and/or drug activity. I just don't think a kid should be disowned and unaccepted because they were apart of it. That action itself is unacceptable, not the kid.

[Stronk Serb]

Not really but if it was the stereotypical homosexual, going to gay pride to fuck in the street like some stray dog, than he would not be allowed to go. When he becomes an adult, whatever.

[...] but if it was the stereotypical homosexual [...]

You shouldn't even be a parent if you can only accept your kid if they are who you want them to be.

That is exactly what I was thinking.

[Abhorrence]

I never knew that homosexuality usually included drug addiction? Am I missing something here?

A parent has a right to disown their child no matter what, it's entirely up to them. I don't agree that a parent should disown their child for being born a certain sexuality but if the parents hate it, then sure goodbye child. A gay kid living under the roof of homophobic parents is gonna have a worse time there than being kicked out, I'd assume.
About the gay pride thing, I hate it too. I think it's utterly pointless. Like I see the point trying to be made by it but I swear it is more of a hindrance for the gay people who act like normal human beings. Whilst things like gay pride exist, there will forever be the stereotype that every gay person is a flamboyant whore.

Going back to the kicking out thing, I'm never having children but if I did I wouldn't kick them out for being gay, bisexual or whatever else. I'd disapprove if they came home covered in rainbows but still wouldn't kick them out. The drug thing is weird because it's not related to sexuality but if we're including it then I would probably force the child to get help, if they refuse then I'd have to just give up - you can't always win.

[Uniquemind]

You can't disown a child if their a minor, period.

You can disown a child purely because their 18 years of age.

No other reason required.

[tovaris]

Wait... what do drugs have to do with LGBT?

if my child is doimg drugs im sending him/her to one of those monestary rehabs, if that doesnt worh the mental institution.

I would not tolerate any sexual activety under my roof, gay or otherwhize, espacely if ity my daughter.

I realy dont care what sexual orientation my child is, i do hope they would tell me if it wasnt "default".

And no i do not think it is acceptable to kick your child out of your home for being gay.

I would only disown my children if they were bad people un uncurabe drugies

i do agree with this :)

[Sir Suomi]

Serb basically hit it on the nail.

As long as the child still behaves in an acceptable manner and doesn't make a huge issue out of it, I don't see why a parent would forsake their child. However if they act like a, well, queer, I don't blame the parents. I'd probably do the same thing.

[Human]

I think parents should be responsible for their children until they can look after themselves

[Aajj333]

It is very wrong to kick out light children for being lgbt no mater which way you look at it from any perspective in the world

It is, but it happens and it actually happened to a friend of mine a couple weeks ago before his senior year of HS.

His dad threw knives and chairs at him, and the mom just called him faggot and locked herself in the bedroom.

And drug use is a HUGE part of the LGBT culture. That and unprotected anal sex, and minority (black and asians) gays or LGBT people of color being discriminated against.

oh wow, that's really horrible. and yeah I know about stories like that, too. I have a female friend who got kicked out cuz she told her parents she loves another girl. fortunately her grandma is more open to LGTB people and took her in.

still in my opinion as a parent you should not kick you kids out for whatever reason as long as they are minors and cannot support themselves.

[Sailor Mars]

its a parents job to look after and take care of their child. if the parents want to be assholes to them due to their sexual orientation, this can lead to the child having mental and emotional turmoil and ultimately result in usage of drugs/alcohol or going out and doing stupid shit. but, if the parent is cool with it, its all good. its not because the child is gay/bi/straight that they use drugs, but by their surroundings that cause them to go in that path. regardless of their sexual preference, the parent shouldn't have a reason to kick them out (unless they're like that normally, but even still)

[Miserabilia]

I don't think it's okay for parents to kick out their children in most situations.

This is a good way to put it

[Microcosm]

I think it is a terrible thing for a parent to disown or kick out their child for most reasons at least. Perhaps there's some extreme scenarios.

I mean when you put yourself in the kid's shoes, even if he's just being immature and acting like a stereotypical gay in order to get attention(it happens), then it would seriously feel like shit to be kicked out especially for a long period of time.

Technically though, I guess it's largely up to the parent(s).

[Kirina]

Like if they weren't closeted in the first place, maybe going astray wouldn't happen.

My parents were like "Tell us anything, if your gay, trans, do drugs, killed someone. It doesn't matter, we love you so just tell us".
THAT simple. Before hearing this, I wasn't able to trust them with everything. It's a parents responsibility to make sure you trust them and it doesn't take a lot.

[James Dean]

I'm really pissed because I also had a friend of mine that accepting parents, mom and dad, and he offed himself. He was only 16. Smh. No pity for him.

I have kinda homophobic family, and I'm not out to them.
