My kid would not "turn out to be gay".
He may choose to be gay in which case I would choose to not have contact with him except for holidays and forced family events. It is not something that happens to you it is a choice. As much as I love my kids that is the truth of the matter.

The truth of the matter is that you are the people we should be preventing from having children, not gays.
Whoops - I guess that was a tad on the "persecutey" side. Oh fuckin' well.

No, no it's not.
In all the years I've been hearing this shit, the arrogance that presumably straight people display when telling me that I chose to be gay never ceases to amaze me.
Any gay kids you may have would be better off without you.
One's sexual orientation is as much of a choice as one's favorite food. It really can't be controlled; it's just what you happen to like. Discriminating based on sexual orientation is like discriminating based on whether someone prefers pasta or pizza.
Oh, and yes. We can see how much you love your child. Fuck you very much.
As my mother so often tells me: conditional love is not really love. My mother loves me unconditionally. My father loves me conditionally. Guess which one I actually have a relationship with?
You're setting yourself up to be a massive, massive failure as a father. I suggest you never become one.
Wow, in just a couple of sentences you have demonstrated that:
I'm told there's a correlation between how many older brothers a man has and how likely he is to be gay - something about the female body developing a resistance to masculinity growing inside it.
Of course, it may be pseudoscientific nonsense, but given that fundies often think God wants them to have big families, thinking of it gives me a certain schadenfreude when I see this kind of bigoted wishful thinking - much as I feel sorry for the kids.
@ Ruana - even if the number brothers thing isnt true, the more kids they have the more likely one of them will be gay purely by percentages (depending who you ask. Anti-gay groups say its 1%, pro-gay groups normally say 10% while other sources seem to say 5-8%).
So 10 kids should mean one is gay!
You do you heavenly sky father proud. You have clearly copied his love. It is a highly conditional love. Yours is a highly conditional love. As conditional love is not at all love, but rather a form of manipulation, you do not love just as your god does not love. You have learned your lessons well. The Christian salvational message is at its very heart the essence of evil, manipulative and cruel. But to a "Christian" who comes out a winner in the salvation thing it looks like a great deal, a get-something-for-nothing scheme that puts the Nigeria scams to shame. It simply requires that you ignore the fate of the vast majority of mankind throughout the world that are condemned to an eternity of suffering. Your kind of religion is simply hateful selfishness disguised as love.
In a sense, he's just behaving like any good God-fearing Christian would. God himself, after all, is said to love us very, very much, but wouldn't hesitate to throw us into eternal hellfire if we don't conform to everything he says.
A clear case of "I-am-homophobic-so-I-choose-to-believe-being-gay-is-a-personal-choice-despite-all-the-evidence-against-such-a-mistaken-stance".
Heaven help the any kid this Neanderthal may happen to have.
Another quote from this thread:
"I used to be a fundamentalist "you choose to be gay" tard. But then I got out in the world and actually learned about people. I know some guys who are gay, and there's no doubt about it - they're not making a choice here. They're just responding to their biological impulses.
If it turns out that my son is gay, I will do what already comes naturally: I will love him for who he is -- and especially who he is to me: my son. My love is not available to him only with preconditions -- least of all that God created him the way that is most pleasing to me."
Praise the lord! I have hope in humanity again!
So... as much as you love your kids, even though you think being homosexual is a choice, you would disown them. No, you don't love your kids, you kiss the ass of your invisible sky daddy and can't accept anyone who might have different ideas than you, even if they're your flesh and blood, and I find that extremely upsetting.

Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
