The other day my friend (A) posted a picture of a boy with a gun next to a boy who dressed similar to a girl. He asked the rest of out group chat which would we rather have. My friend (E) said "you already know my answer", which would be thug son due to him partaking in those activities. I answered with " a gay son. Nothing is wrong with being gay and he will be an active member of society". I pretty much dissed my friend in which he replied "get the f**k out". I said hell naw. He is an admin so he could have kicked me out but he knew he would have been wrong. This continues though. My other friend (P) said that he would rather have a thug son because he is uncomfortable with gay men. Not lesbian females just gay men. I can understand this to some extent.
My other friend (S) said one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. He said "what if I secretly inject him with male hormones to reverse the effect". What type of shit is this. I replied "What. A lack of Hormones and Testosterone does not determine whether a person is gay or not". He replies "Well then I pick gay son. He'll just know that he won't have his identity when he's around me". I didn't understand what that meant so I asked "what" again. P simplified it saying that he wouldn't acknowledge him as his son. The entire conversation I was continuously getting livid. I already knew E and my deals would clash but the later had me on the fence. I replied back "What the fuck is wrong with yall?" A was able to say what I couldn't. He said "Why can't he just be a cool dude that just likes to have sex with men". I came in "Exactly". The other three decided to take the risk on having a son that contribute shot to society and will probably die before the age of 15 than have a normal son. Yes, gay people are normal people. I left the chat. I couldn't deal with the level of ignorance and lack of compassion.
This truly hurt my heart. I never knew my friends could be such assholes. I should have seen this coming when none of them bought my book. But back to the topic. I want to label this as just them having a young mentality and not knowing how to function around gay men. I have gay and lesbian cousins and friends. There is nothing wrong with them. I love them to death and no ignorant person will change that. When I have kids, no matter what they are like whether gay, disabled, or an alien, I will love them. I am the most mature of my friends so maybe I have the upper hand on this situation as I have been around different walks of life. I'm more mature so maybe I can see into the future and I'm ready for what life gives me. Or maybe I'm not a judgmental piece of shit. Either of these could be the case.
My friends and I are about to embark on a journey known as college so I hope their simple minded ideals are changed over time. I'm going to a different college than all of them which is a good thing because after this conversation we need a long time apart. This is it for this post. The only thing I have left to say is, how can you mistreat your own flesh and blood due to your own trivial disbelief? This question seriously needs to be answered.

I think their idiotic choices is are likely due to a lack of life experience and because they're not thinking of the situation in a realistic way. Likely, the only thing that will change their minds is some real-life experience. It will be fine. The end of high school marks the end of a lot of things and a beginning of really taking a stance on what you believe in. You'll likely still talk to some of the people who disagreed with you in the chat and that's okay. All that matters is that you know what you believe in and you continue to treat others with the utmost respect. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. I won't stop talking to them but we just need a break. I agree with you. They lack life experience and when they have kids they will understand.
ReplyDeleteGreat article and I know how you feel bruh. Hopefully they get some real life experiences that will change thier stance on that topic. Enjoy college though, it's nice to get away from the close minded bubble that surrounds people in high school.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I'm glad I'm going to college. I've already met people who are more open minded
