Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I have a question for anyone who'd care to share. Actually 2. I've asked several people this (male and female) over time and I'm surprised by some of the answers, even from the women. If you consider yourself an accepting person, you have no problem with anyone's sexuality, etc., do you view two females together the same way as you view two males together? Everyone I asked this to has been straight and nearly all said they are accepting, all that, but they view two men together as "more unpleasant" than two females. They didn't use those words, I'm just substituting with something that is slightly less offensive. Even women have said that and I don't get it. You watch porn and see a video with a guy + a girl, one with 2 girls and one with 2 guys, and think the first 2 are fine, even like them, but the last 1 is somehow unpleasant to you?
My 2nd question is if you're accepting, have no issue with anyone's sexuality and approve of gay marriage, do your views waver at all if your child comes out to you? I can't believe it when people tell me they would not accept it or they're not sure what they would think/do. How accepting can you really be if you'd throw your own child out of your house for telling you they're gay?(That was a coworker's response)
I've thought about this a lot because my daughter has known she was gay since she was little. Hell, I knew too and her dad, I don't even know how but we had conversations long before she ever told us. Luckily, neither one of us had any issue with it, but when I asked him how he'd feel if our son came out to us he said that's different and he didn't know how he would react. I don't understand this view of men being so rigidly placed in a box where straight is "normal" and anything else is "whatever negative adjective someone wants to use." Yet, females are free to flow from men to women and back and it's "beautiful, erotic".
TL;DR - 2 questions on this topic 1) do you view a lesbian couple any differently than a gay couple? 2) if you accept everyone's sexuality/approve of gay marriage does that mean you'd be fine with your child coming out to you?
