The LGBTwhatever Movement vs Your Family

A few years back I read something online that horrified me. A teenage boy who identified as ‘Gay’ told his parents that they needed to leave their Catholic faith, or they would no longer be his parents. How could parents deal with that? Would they make a show of leaving their faith, and sneak off to Confession or Mass when they thought their son would not know? Or would that demand create a long-term barrier to the parent-child relationship?

When the LGBTxyz movement leads its victims to think it’s OK to make threats to withdraw from family relationships to browbeat a family member into changing their religion or politics, they are risking that those victims will be cut off from their families— their emotional support system. But somehow the LGBTxyz folks just keep on doing things like that— because they have more power when individual ‘Gay’ people are socially isolated from those outside the ‘Gay’ community, and are more dependent on ‘Gay’ institutions and the Movement.

As a person with Same-Sex Attraction, I guess I don’t like the LGBT movement enough. Before my birth, it wasn’t the LGBT movement that was in labor for hours to bring me into the world. My mom did that. It wasn’t the LGBT movement that worked for hours and hours daily to earn the money to provide for my needs and wants. My dad did that. When persons with Same-Sex Attraction are faced with hard times or the loss of a love or homelessness or depression, is the LGBT movement going to run to their houses to hold their hands, or are their family members going to do that. 

Of course, families can be imperfect— even actually abusive in some cases. And even non-abusive families can disapprove of a child’s promiscuous ‘Gay’ or straight lifestyle or drug use or alcoholism, and the child involved can get mad about that or disagree or want to get parental and family approval for all of their actions up to and including felonies. But for most of us, its the members of our families that we rely upon for emotional support and practical help in tough situations— even if those family members can’t be persuaded to march in a ‘Pride’ parade for your sake.

But the LGBT movement like other political movements is about power, and your healthy, strong family is a threat to that power. If you spend a lot of your time interacting with your parents and family members, you have less time to directly support LGBT activism by showing up at protests or kicking money in to their organizations. But if you sacrifice your family relationships for the LGBT movement’s sake, there is a void in your life that an impersonal far-off Movement cannot fill. 

When Kids Come-Out as Gay, Parents Mourn

Recently on General Hospital a character considered that her young son might be gay. (Because he likes to bake cookies and cupcakes, and that’s so gay.) And of course she has to be happy about that, though she’s allowed to worry that the ‘homophobes’ might be mean to the little tike.

OK, here is a reality check. When a child comes out as gay— at age 7 or age 30— parents will mourn. And it’s not because they are bad or hateful or not-Leftist-enough. It is just a reality. And facing reality is just so alt-right, isn’t it?

Now, why am I allowed to even talk about this? 

1. I have same-sex attraction (homosexual attraction, ‘Gay’ ‘Lesbian’ status)
2. I have parents and I came out to them
3. The First Amendment has not yet been repealed.

Why do parents mourn? Shouldn’t they be glad that their kid, even if White, now has precious ‘protected minority’ status?

Parents mourn that their dream died

Parents may dream of grandchildren, of their child as a happily married, in the traditional sense, person. Of continuing the line. And also, of their child being the child they have come to know since that child’s infancy. Instead, that child is gone and a member of the LGBTXYZ movement is left in his place. 

Parents fear for their child’s life

When you reveal that you are gay, parents fear you might get AIDS— which can still kill you. They fear you might be murdered by a Jeffery Dahmer or John Wayne Gacy type. They fear you will get involved with the use of dangerous drugs popular in some Gay circles. 

Parents worry their child will go to hell

It’s not just that gay sex and sex before (valid) marriage are sins— violations of the law of God— according to the Bible. Promiscuous behavior is much more accepted in the Gay community. The Church and the Bible are widely rejected as ‘hateful,’ and those Gay people who don’t choose atheism or paganism often choose ‘welcoming’ churches that reject parts of the Bible that the Gay community doesn’t like— not just the things about sexual sin, but that Jesus was/is the Son of God, that hell/eternal punishment is possible, and that we don’t create our own reality since that’s God’s job.

Parents don’t want to be bullied

I have heard a story of a teenager who came out as Gay. He then informed his Catholic parents that they must leave the Catholic Church at once, or they would no longer be his parents. The Gay community deceives us into thinking we can make demands like that of our loved ones. Yet our parents can’t demand that we quit being Gay— or even suggest that we might TRY to quit being Gay. Because that would be hateful, while ordering your family member to give up God is perfectly fine.

Parents feel their child will have a less-good life

Gay people who embrace their ‘gayness’ miss out on things. Some, especially males, spend years in gay bars chasing after utter strangers to have sexual encounters with, instead of building a long-term married relationship. They fear you will miss out on having children, because for a gay person— even one with a ‘partner’— having children is a very costly proposition. They fear you will be trained to be involved in politics and activism instead of working to get better job qualifications or volunteering to help people in your community. 

Gay activists don’t want you to realize the truth about this matter, because they want you to be judging people instead. Only bad parents let you know their mournful feelings when you ‘come-out.’ Blame, blame, blame. I guess I should ALSO judge my parents harshly because they weren’t happy when my school said something unspecified was wrong with me (I got my diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome decades too late) and I’m sure they mourned that, too. In part because I was a clever child and they hoped I would do well. 

As a woman with same-sex attraction, I don’t like to think of myself as someone who caused my parents sorrow. Even though it’s true. But I don’t think living in a dream world, or else cutting myself off from my family for not reacting the way the LGBTXYZ movement demands they react. Sorry, if I have to choose between my loving parents and the cold, cruel Gay movement, the Gay movement has got to go.

Note to fellow Catholics/Christians: I believe the Bible teachings about the wrongness of homosexual sex acts, including the lust-in-the-heart bit. I have found that a celibate life is way more fun, anyway.
