I wasn't going to say it, Hook, but it's absolutely correct. If there have been demographic studies (I'm sure there have...there are social statistics for every social media platform out there anymore), there would be far more re-posts/shares of these things among the middle-age generations. Based strictly from my personal news feeds, it's a fact:D My mom is REALLY guilty of it. I think Snopes debunks about 85% of what my mom shares as fact:D
How many old people shared this last week? I know I had at least 2 [h=2]Marijuana Overdoses Kill 37 in Colorado On First Day of Legalization[/h]
I saw it and my first thought was that it got laced with something. Then realized it was a parody web site that released the story. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
I know many a man that would tell you he would rather be cold, crippled, and staving hungry than have their son be openly gay, the murder part would likely go 50-50 truth be told. Of course most of them also believe that if you smoke weed this week, by next pay day you will have sold your truck for meth money. |
At 7 I was thinking about riding my bike and choosing which tree I wanted to pull pine cones from to use as "grenades" for the next time I played war with the neighbor kids. There is no way, without influence or exposure, that a 7 year old truly understands what being gay means or conclude that he is in fact gay. If he's old enough to determine that he is gay then he's old enough to be with a sexual partner, right? Sound ridiculous? BECAUSE IT IS!
I have no idea. But I would imagine most of us knew we felt differently about girls than boys at 7, right? I know I was sneaking girls in the big culvert by the playground at school to kiss them at 7. I wasn't doing that for boys.
Good point. Maybe the biggest part of that picture, whether it fake or not, is some "boy" is being used as a gay agenda pawn by a parent which is just stupid. What if the boy did not want his picture all over facebook and the internet?
He's not old enough to know what "liking girls" even means. He's not old enough to make a decision one way or another. My point is, if he is old enough to define his sexuality then that must then make him old enough for sexual interaction, which is BS either way.
(1) He is not old enough at 7 to understand. Go back and read your under grad psych crap. (2) This is about the parents or parent being made fun of for being gay when they were in school. (3) I am sick of gay people whining.
Like I said, I knew that I felt differently about girls at age 7. Maybe this kid knows that he feels differently about boys? He might not understand everything about being gay, but he might know that his feelings for boys are different than his feelings for girls? Just thinking out loud here.
These cases are proof that it's simply a fashion trend for the attention starved or attention pigs to use as a tool. I think probably 65% of people that claim they are gay are probably this way and just want the attention that comes with "being different".
You think 65% of gay dudes are just pretending to like the penis? Those dudes are a lot better at pretending than me then
LOL. But back to the topic, I understand what you're saying, I just don't think either way a parent should be talking about or influencing or encouraging a particular sexuality with a prepubescent child. Likewise, you don't see parents of straight kids posting pictures of them online and saying: "My kid is straight and I am going to love and support him no matter what". If homosexuality is just as normal just as heterosexuality, then why in the world are these people making such a big deal about coming out or making their kid a poster child for gay kids. Whether this post is real or fake, it shouldn't even be happening one way or another.
