The war on gay kids: "Give 'em a good punch"

North Carolina Pastor Sean Harris: Parents Should 'Punch' Their Gay-Acting Children (AUDIO)

IN MY OPINION: don't punch kidz ALSO don't have children unless you are willing to accept whatever nature dictates

edit: mthrnite points out this pathetic backpedaling http://joemygod.blogspot.com/2012/05/ncs-pastor-sean-harris-i-was-only.html

"If I had to say it again, I would say it differently, no doubt," Harris said Tuesday. "Those weren't planned words, but what I do stand by is that the word of God makes it clear that effeminate behavior is ungodly. I'm not going to compromise on that."

I'll play devil's advocate if it will start a flame war.

North Carolina's looking more like South Carolina all the time :/

edit: actually we've got a proposed constitutional amendment religious right dog biscuit coming up to vote next week, so things are a little heated right now.

North Carolina is in the South, thus bible belt, this isn't shocking.

My kids can be whoever they want to be. Period. I have nothing against heterosexuals, so if they follow "gender norms" I'll be ok with that, and love them regardless. It's all about support and giving them the confidence to make their own way in the world without having to bow to some fake notion of "normal".

I have nothing against homosexuals, one of my best friends is actually gay, however, personally I wouldn't want my kids to be gay, and no friggin way in hell would I let them do girlish stuff, while they're my kids and at my place, they'll behave like they should, once they're adults then they can be whatever they want. xP

While it's true that people are what they are, the way they grow up will eventually affect your personality and who you become, I was raised by lots of women and no men, yet they always told me what a men were about, so I kinda grew up with an ideal of what I wanted to be, and I'll try to make my kids follow my footsteps eventually, of course I won't go to extremes of hitting them just for wearing a dress or acting girly, I'll just punish them like take away their toys. xP

First of all, if you would punish your child for being gay, and try to prevent him or her from being so, you absolutely have something against homosexuals.

Also, why would you punish and stifle your child for something he was born with? That's just like beating the shit out of your blind daughter because she can't see anything, or beating the neighborhood kid just because he's black. It's disgusting.

What if you kid feels they were born in the wrong body and wants to be the opposite gender? Would you still support them? If so, I am happy you are more liberal than most parents.

Also when boys tend to wear dresses... they might not be gay they may just be transsexual, thus you are no better than this pastor.

Of course.

edit: also:

We've actually got quite a lot of transplanted northerners in the state. Seems like half of my friends are from Detroit or New Jersey. Once you get out into the rural areas, it's a different story. Were actually slowly becoming a pretty progressive state, that's kind of where the problem lies, in that there's a lot of backlash over that fact. The proposed amendment (marriage shall be between one man and one woman) is getting some fierce opposition, even from some conservatives, and quite a few churches, Baptists, Episcopalians, Lutherans.. it's amazing how far we've come. So please, no "southern retard" style bashing.

Hurray!!! Also what state do you live in?

*sigh* I don't want to live in this country anymore, I mean really whats with the anti gay crusade, If you live in a country with freedom of religion and beliefs, you should expect people to be different then you. That doesn't fucking mean punch them till they listen it means they have a right to be gay just as one has a right to be straight.

Some people love the rights given to them, but hate to accept that they will be given to others too

EDIT: Isn't straight up punching a child considered child abuse?

As long as my kids continue my world-destroying robots legacy, they can dress up to be an alien if all I care. I'll even buy them a tin-foil hat if it makes them happy. My son can wear dresses and I wouldn't love him any less. Just not my dresses. Same goes for my daughter. Kids rip things D:
Parents shouldn't mind if their children wants to love someone of the same gender or even change genders. You don't love them for their love life. You don't love them for their gender. You love them because they are your child. I think standing in their way would make you less of a parent and would just make them feel like a disappointing disgrace. No child should feel that way.


But eh, rambling. I agree with you, mthr

Don't let the Christian groups hear you... see to them when a gay person gets married it somehow violates their freedom of religion (even though marriage is controlled by the government). Also this is the Bible Belt so......... this is not exactly uncommon to hear from an Evangelical pastor.

Seriously I'm paying $3.85 at the pump. I couldn't give a shit what one crazy pastor says. If anything gays have an elevated status in society these days and I'm really getting sick of all this lame ass propaganda

Elevated status? Please, do expound. I had no idea being called a fag in public was such a privilege.

And if you don't want to pay that much, convert your vehicle to propane, ride your bike, take the bus, fucking carpool. There are many ways to avoid paying that much at the pump, but that's neither here nor there.

Talking out of your ass aren't you. Please stop saying such ignorant garbage without any evidence (none from any Christian site or Fox News).

seriously.

it looks like the only people that do take offence to this are non-gays.

North Carolina (see my previous edit)
I'm fighting along with a lot of other people in my state to ensure equal rights to equal people, anything less than that is a problem for me and mine.
