Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Can True Love Be Conditional?

Playing off another thread, I was curious as to the opinions of the membership as to this question:

If your son or daughter told you they were gay and in love with someone of the same sex, would that somehow change the love you have for that child?

If your best friend said the same thing to you, would the friendship change?

IMO, true love and true friendship can not be impacted by such a dynamic. For those who believe it can, please help me to understand how that irreparable void occurs.

no it wouldn't.

Dono, never had any kids, traveled to damn much.

Buds would be out.

Tell me why,amigo.

You know I respect your opinion. But really think it through.

Glad you didn't say, "Buds would be screwed."

To be as polite as possible, I consider one man corndogging another to be a great abomination and morally reprehensible, if they will do that, what else would they not do?

That would also identify said Bud as someone I only thought I knew.

isaac,

I have a daughter like that. The only thing that change is we don't do communion together anymore. I enjoy her male friends. I am too old to be cute to them so we are just friends.

what people do in their bedroom is none of my damn business, just as mine is none of their damn business.

if someone told me they were gay, i'd be sad for them because i know it's a hard life to live with so many people hating them and making things tough on them.

but no it wouldn't change a damn thing. unless it came with other changes which affected me or my loved ones.

as long as one's choices only affect oneself, then whatever. the moment it hurts someone else in some measurable way, you're done dude.

and no one holds the ability to make me mad or offended. i choose to be those things. i think a lot of gays are flamboyant to push their agenda and piss people off. who cares, if we all ignored them and treated them like everyone else i think things would be better.

You don't have to be polite with a trench fighting friend, like yourself.

Take your best friend now...life long...since you were kids..the one you'd bury bodies for and who'd help you burying bodies...he tells you such a thing tomorrow...he's done and gone then?

Don't worry Bob I'll always be your friend...glad you are coming out of the closet

Yessir, I'd be sad, but he'd be gone.

BWAAHAHAHA!!!!!

As one lawyer to another, I know you'll understand when I say, it depends.

For one thing, I'm not in love with my best friend.

I get that.

What I truly am curious about is how folks define true love or a true friendship.

For me personally, I have 2 male friends who have been there for me since I was a young teenager and 3 others who have been there for me since near the time I became a lawyer.

If they dropped that bombshell on me tomorrow and I bailed, is it a reflection of me as a person or of them?

Let's not play semantics,ok?

You know what I'm addressing,1M.

My best friend did tell me that, and no it did not change things one itoa between us, she never judged my life, and I wasn't about to judge hers. She passed away about 18 months ago, from a torn aorta, God Bless her. Yes, I said it, God Bless her.

As for my children, they are MY children, but who they choose to love is not my business, unless that person seeks to harm them in ANY way. Other than that, they are mine, now, and always, period.

In my case it's being true to myself and my beliefs on what I believe to be right and wrong.

Painful as it may be, I'd have to stick to my guns, although, I've never had/needed friends there for me either.

Gunner

Hell it would save the cock blocking when you go out

Would you bail because they were gay or because they deceived you and kept it a secret from you?
