DU parents: What would you do if your kid was straight?

[beyurslf]

Panic? Cry? Send her or him to therapy? Other things?

1. See my answer in the What would you do if your kid was gay thread.

I'd get pissed over the very same things. :)

2. Send him or her to a camp run by RuPaul

and give the kid another chance to switch teams....

[beyurslf]

4. That's the spirit. Kids seem to be coming out straight at an earlier and

earlier age--and so many of them!!! We must act while they are young to ensure they grow up on the correct team.

5. I know.... how can a child of 12, 13, or 14 even KNOW

something like that???

And as for the older kids, maybe it's just that they haven't met the right person yet... :shrug:

3. I'd worry about his future happiness, think all his girlfriends not

good enough for him, hope he'd be home at a reasonable hour... The same stuff I'd do if he were into boys.

6. Weep for his inevitable poor taste in clothing, food, and decor.

:cry:

11. I have met a couple of metrosexuals with good taste.... but I was wonder

about how "straight" they really are :)

7. Many schools have a gay/straight alliance

Glad my kids have been involved with it.

9. Wrap her in tinfoil so the gay mafia can't get her.

:crazy: :tinfoilhat:

10. Love him

and teach him to love and respect people of various sexual orientations, ethnic/religious backgrounds and genders. Just like I would if he was gay.

12. See my proposal from the GLBT section.

I have addressed all areas of this important issue!

13. Skip the first part and just tell him "and fly right"
