Diamond-hard, industrial-strength irony.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

I am more concerned with young pre teen children 'coming out' and the pressure on them to be sexualized which leads to bullying and tragic suicides. I could fight, climb trees and wield a catapult with the best of the males. I was a tomboy but that changed big time in my mid teens. Bullying and prejudice will always be with us no matter how liberal or accepting we perceive society becomes but adults should not encourage children to conceptualize their sexual orientation.

That comment was from a person who doesn't like the way things are going these days. She "went with the standard model" and conformed to her gender expectations. Later she complained about kids being "pressured" to accept "non-standard roles". I had to reply:

When I was in the second grade (1957) there was a boy who was flat-out gay. This caused a problem for his father. "I couldn't be seen as the father of a faggot." The jury disagreed and he got life for killing his son.

I wonder where he read about gays being bad or evil?

I think we all know...

Adults should encourage children not to fucking bully. If your child is a bully you've fucking failed as a parent. You should have never been allowed to reproduce in the first place.

Adults should encourage children not to fucking bully.  If your child is a bully you've fucking failed as a parent.  You should have never been allowed to reproduce in the first place.

People are hierarchical animals.  It's our nature to try to dominate other people.  The capability and desire to bully others is part of our behavior and can't be deleted.

He'd probably flip his shit if he saw pictures of my son in the prom dress he wore this past May to his boyfriend's senior prom. 
My kid looked absolutely stunning and I am so proud of both of them for doing what they wanted instead of what some members of society wants to dictate. If those people have a problem with my son being gay - those people can fuck off.

I think operative word is animals.  Religious people who believe that god conjured us out of the void as some higher being above the rest of nature need to turn on Nat Geo.
