What would you do If your son/daughter told you they were gay?

[DinRaat.]

Just wanted to see a different viewpoint on what people would do If their children announced they were gay. I want to view a bangladeshi perspective on this scenario.

So what would you guys do.

[ReZ_1]

Take him/her to doctor/psychiatrist and try to get him/her cured if possible... It's an illness so s/he deserves a healthy life... Besides s/he would already be in Islamic environment to know with reasoning the values of being in healthy life...

For your son's sake, I hope he doesn't turn out gay. Poor kid would suffer having a bigoted father.

Well said nw...

Ppl do not realize but the extremes at both spectrum are equally detestable ...

There is nothing wrong with being against homosexuality or being for it ...it is the disrespect some of these ppl have from each spectrum for each other that is difficult to fathom......

At the end of the day what matters most is your own family and their safety and happiness .....nothing else. It's my son .....I raised him ... I provided for him ... I say #f off # to any one who wants to dictate how I should react . Simply none of your business

[DinRaat.]

I just wanna see what you guys think.


No need for hate towards other opinon, its a forum and you can express your opinon. No matter what religion you are.

Welcome to the internet.

I don't know if you have been following the news in Sydney,but the "Safe Schools" initiative will cause a lot of stir in public and private schools, but I am not also opposed to gays.

Its just that their constant push to make it a norm in society, and continually forcing the other side to believe, that being gay should be accepted. Coming from a muslim school in Sydney's south-west(Auburn) I was mainly told that being gay is not recommended, heck our school recently had a interview with the media about it.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ual-wrong.html

Unlike the US, we have same sex marriage supporters that are trying to push their agendas onto our education system. Public schools and private schools will be forced to incorporate Safe Schools into the curriculum just because of some minority, who believe marrying men and men is right.

SafeSchools,and similar extreme LGBT sex education programs, teach children to accept the
conclusions of queer theory; that biological sex cannot be understood as male/female; that sexual diversity and gender diversity are a natural part of each individual’s true identity; that diversity in all its forms must be affirmed and celebrated.Safe schools and marriage work together to eradicate the idea that distinctions between male and female have any significance, or that heterosexuality, bisexuality can be distinguished from heterosexuality

Islamically, it is pretty clear that same-sex marriage will never be accepted.

I also want to bring up some debatable topics, but because some people here cannot maturely conduct themselves so I avoid it.

Anyways, it will be a difficult pill to swallow for many Bangladeshis as parents. Apart from the societal pressures many Bangladeshi parents would feel that they have failed in parenting upbringing.

Don't hesitate to open a thread, everyone loves a good well constructed debate.If immaturity is a problem the mods will see to that.

[Tigers_eye]

It is the ultimate boundary to cross to the dark side.

"Mair'er upor oshud nai."

I love my son more than myself. If he needs a heart or lungs, and if the Docs say yes (match), I would not hesitate, inshallah. But this is something that will ruin him. Being a father, knowing his destination, I would try my utmost to show him the light. I won't hate him but I would be very sad for him and his partner.

By the way, I don't think I have to deal with that with my son. He is a high school going teenager. The lessons have been given on this already.

[Yankees]

Homosexuality is also a sin in Christianity, but most Christian nations have matured past that, and Christians have learned not to let their religious beliefs dictate basic human rights.

Most Islamic societies are not there yet, and won't get there in our lifetime.

[iDumb]

How a normal loving father feels about his children transcends any dictations by random religious scriptures .

Tigers_eye thank you for your input ... I don't think this is a religious matter but I can see how not so critical thinking brain can arrive to that conclusion .

You are welcome. I know this is a religious matter. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be bothered on who he would choose as a partner (male/female Muslim/Non-Muslim).

For you maybe it is ..
There are many ppl out there (non muslim ..non religious ) who has no problem with gay couples but when it hits their own family ..it's hard for them to accept but eventually they do .

The whole world do not revolve around fictitious religion and these are human feelings that many families deal with ... some look at religion for answers ..others cope differently ..

[iDumb]

Just to elaborate a bit further ..even for a heterosexual.. I will have a big say in who my son/daughter chooses to marry ... I don't trust a 20 year old to make smart decisions

So when you say you "wouldn't even be bothered who he chooses " if it wasn't for Islam ... I think in my opinion that is being a poor parent who is losing grip on his family ... (if has no religion as guide?)

See how religion always doesn't play role

[bujhee kom]

Finally, the ultimate 'Coming Out' thread...

Since it is...Diinraat...Congrats, brother!
Be strong, believe in yourself and let go of all fear.
Listen, Do Not be afraid of anybody or anything.
Only remember, play the tambourine, but always play safe.

This is for you ...this is your night to shine, Diinraat.

Marriage is between a man and a women, it has been like this for eeons. Article 16 of the UN human rights. Doesn't say anything about letting a man and a man get married.

Soon we will see man and dog getting married because it is seen as "modern".

1.Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution.

2.Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses.

3.The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State.

ok buddy, if you think a man marrying a man will lead to a man and a dog, then there's no point in discussing anymore. Just know that you are on the wrong side of history.

Also, fyi, the UN declaration of human rights was supposed to eradicate discrimination around the world. It's not meant to be used as a tool to deny additional protection. Don't be surprised if the next update includes "sexual orientation" as well.

Whats the so called right side of history then. Logically why do you think same sex marriage should be allowed. Care to explain.

If getting married to another person of the same sex makes a person happy then so be it. But I am still opposed to the idea of same-sex marriage,a growing tumor in society.
