@djjd62,
Sorry about that I edited my post because I wanted to go back and copy and paste my question. So it is there now! This should have been for every one even if you are not anti-gay

This problem is not specifically gay but rather very typical in minority´s...

Yes, and then you compounded your bias by making veiled comments about those that disagreed with you being gay as if it was some sort of pejorative.

They tend to capture and adapt cultural symbols from majority´s instead of forwarding their own, thus favouring a "mono-grey" sense of equality in place of diversity and creativity...

But I can recognize that is a false argument Fil. Separate but equal doesn't result in equal as we found out in the US under Plessy v Ferguson.

I suggest you propose some kind of equal that is equal but not the same. I bet you won't find anything that meets the fully equal requirement.

beyond that we are under the topic of "pirating" ideals and concepts
Of course that occurs. What do you think it is when a designer uses nature as a basis for his design? There is really very little that is new under the sun. It is mostly just taking existing things and tweaking them slightly.

If your mother and father were good to you growing up I would like for you to try and imagine that they had adopted you. You do love them correct? I sure hope so.
Now try and amagine that they were both males, I do know that this is a twist of the mind but I am only asking you to try.

It is an interesting question rl but not one that is easy to answer since it is so theoretical.

Another question is how would you respond as a parent if you found out your child was gay? Here we see the answer in real life from people that are antigay. Different people respond differently. Some realize it's still their child so change their feelings about gay people. Others are so antigay they are willing to throw away their child before they will change their views.

@parados,
Would a child throw away his/her parents?

In reality? No because it would be what they know and grew up with. (Of course there are instances where heterosexual parents are so bad that children do want to get away from them.)

As a theoretical, it's easy to say one way or the other without examining the situation.

@parados,
You are right, and still, nature is able to produce diversity...take for instance Chameleons eyes, which certainly are not equal to mammals eyes...

Gay relationships are not infinitely different from heterosexual relationships, its all to obvious that there is allot in common, but not everything...

I favour diversity, without denying the similarity's !

It is amazing that we can speak in hypothetical terms about most anything that we can see in reality but with this it becomes a problem!

Has there ever been a recorded instance of a child disowning a loving parent because the parent was gay? I am sure that a child can disown his/her parents for many reasons but I would willing to bet that it would not be for being gay.

But you seem to contradict yourself when you say things like this -

I would bet there are instances of it. Usually in situations where the parent hid they were gay until the child was grown.

Yes I would suppose that you are correct but what dose that tell everyone about the logic of traditions and cultures?

I would say it points to some people being so locked in those traditions and cultures that they can't see or begin to understand anything outside of them.

I am not completely sure that it is possible if the parent and child had a loving relationship Wink

@reasoning logic,
Emotions are strange things. Rejection or perceived rejection can cause irrational reactions.

@parados,
Ok so what you are saying is it does not matter what is being rejected, it can cause a person to stop loving their parrents, so it is not necessarily a gay problem as it could also be any other type of problem so I would not find the problem to be with the gay parent but a problem of psychology.

Of course not !
I seriously doubt any child would have anything against her parents being gay...at best they would fear social rejection.

If this is your reply would you have a different view about gay people if your parents were gay or would you still hold your view points about gay people?

@reasoning logic,
My rational opinion upon gay would n´t change much since I don´t have a particular bad opinion about gay´s...

Emotionally I suppose I would be more familiarized with their culture and particularity´s...
