I think, if the picture is true, that is exactly what has happened. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
At 7, the boy couldn't possibly know what being gay is. He probably thinks its hanging out with his boy buddies all the time. I'm pretty sure he doesn't know that it entails them sticking their you know what up his butthole. Just sayin'
He might not know what it all entails, but he might know that he has different feelings for boys than girls. I certainly knew that I wanted to kiss girls and not boys at 7.
I braved the -40 degree wind chill and trekked to my gay neighbors house to get some intel. Actually I just sent them a facebook message. Terry advised he fought with his feelings for liking the same sex as far as he remembers back to when he was 11 but fought it for years and dated girls until he was 18 and officially pursued the drive within. Michael on the other hand never kissed a girl and said he knew at a much earlier age that he liked the same sex. Michael could remember the exact age but said it was a few years earlier that when Terry got the urge to be a sinner. Sadly both have dealt with family that won't accept them and throw the bible at them, though some themselves have been caught up in infidelity or the brother in law that always has his teenage daughter sitting on his lap. In the end I could care what this kid believes now or ten years from now but don't agree with the self serving father boasting that he fostered the greatness of this child. Quite honestly I am tired of people throwing the bible at gays when it serves their purpose only to turn around and do something the book speaks out against. Not singling anyone out here, just making a general statement.
Agreed...religion has ALWAYS been the enemy of RELATIONSHIP with Jesus....ALWAYS ...and it always misquotes the Bible ...but if you were satan...isn't that what you would do?
I would let God sort it out. How many people in the world have died because of religion and people spreading God's or whoever they believe in's word? The Gay people I know had no choice of the matter, they struggled with who they are and in turn are constantly told they are wrong by people who were born correct according to God, Jesus and whoever allegedly penned the Bible.
Raceway, I agree with you on the gay aspect. However, on the young child who looks like his parent (s) watched one too many episodes of Glee and groomed their son to become a gay messiah....well that just seems odd.
The problem is that we have no idea how the child became influenced or self identified with who he thinks he is. This kid might not even think he is gay and just might be some hipsters child who posted what they did in support of gay people. We have people starving all over this country, people getting maimed and murdered and homeless freezing at night and we only seem to focus on the small things
After it is all said and done, there are some things 7 year old kids should not be doing and one of them is dressing and acting "gay". Goodness gracious. And for those of you that have concern over what I just said, please remember my thoughts on gay people in general. My response is about a 7 year old wearing fake glasses, having "his" hair perfectly groomed, a "gay" smirk smile like my goodness he is really gay at age 7, and his parental figures posting some weird self serving message on a facebook page, like being gay is way cool! I just wish the kid pictured above was Jewish and black, with Chinese adoptive parents who served in the Red Cross and lost their arms working disaster relief. Then we would have all our bases covered for modern day coolness! "He" would be untouchable, unable to be "judged" by his fellow man.
Yesterday my buddies 8 year old son walked up to me and out of the blue said, "I know what gay means." I looked at him and said what. He replied,"my teacher told me." If that was my son I'd be having a talk with the teacher the schools principal and the district. I don't think that is appropriate. Especially at 8 years old. Not even in sex Ed should this be taught as an "option". But this is way too early little dude doesn't even know what his balls are for yet.
Are we really so sure he was put up to this? I have never watched Glee but after reading this article I blame Glee. Amelia: My 7-Year-Old Son Wants a 'Likes Boys' T-Shirt, and Here Is Why He's Going to Get It
Mark, even if he were not put up to it, it is not something that should be put on facebook or people acting like it is so neat. "His self confidence is my biggest achievement" sounds something out of modern day crap psychology book. In fact, that picture and that little thing written on it makes me feel it is complete bs, a fake picture. It is that bad.
I agree and already posted that earlier in this thread. For the father to take credit for the accomplishment is absurd in my eyes.
This was being talked about over two years ago. Like most things posted on Facebook these days, I doubt it's real. Facebook is such a breeding ground for conspiracy theories, twisted/false stories, misquoted people, etc. It truly has replaced the "forwards" movement of the email world.
