I would say that if there were a test that told me with certainty that my kid was going to be gay, I would still have it. I'd get it psychiatric help or something. And as their parent, I could make their life very difficult if they stubbornly insisted on being gay.
I can tell you this much - if either one of my kids ever comes home and tells me they're gay they'll be looking for a new place to live. It's totally incompatabile with a Godly home.
However, I also believe that God wouldn't give a family that is faithful to Him a gay kid in the first place. So I'm not too worried about that.

Jesus spent the night with a man who loved him more than any other, and he 'showed him the mysteries of the kingdom of God' all night long.
It's right there in Mark. Oh wait it was until the church removed it, because they didn't want to think of a prophet, that they then deified as a knob polisher!
"However, I also believe that God wouldn't give a family that is faithful to Him a gay kid in the first place. So I'm not too worried about that."
One of the first gays I ever met (well, that I knew about, anyway) was the son of a fundie minister. So don't assume.

Well, good for you. That's very magnanimous of you.
"I'd get it psychiatric help or something. And as their parent, I could make their life very difficult if they stubbornly insisted on being gay."
Hmm. That's NOT very magnanimous nor enlightened. You are denying the consensus of all the major mental health organizations who have stated that homosexuality is not a disease or disorder. As uncomfortable as it may be for you, it has genetic components. That's right, Gene, your child might, in some ways at least, get his/her homosexual tendencies FROM YOU.
"I can tell you this much - if either one of my kids ever comes home and tells me they're gay they'll be looking for a new place to live."
As painful as that may be for them, I suspect that in the long run not living with you would be best. I don't mean just your gay child, I mean it would be best for no one to live with you. You are an ignorant, stupid, myopic, homophobic asshole. Not the type of material good parents, good spouses or good friends are made from.
"It's totally incompatabile with a Godly home."
Well, technically, I should point out that that depends on which god we're talking about.
Anyway, if you hold your illusion of "God" more dear than your children, they'll be better off without you.
"However, I also believe that God wouldn't give a family that is faithful to Him a gay kid in the first place. So I'm not too worried about that."
So, you're admitting that homosexuality isn't a choice, that it is a characteristic given by "God?"
You contend that your "God" uses homosexual children to punish unrighteous parents?
What a stupid "God" you have.
If a test could show you that an unborn child would be gay, would that not also show that homosexuality is either 1) inherent in some people or 2) that God made them that way. Either way would not be the child's fault. But then to treat that child the way you describe would be heinous by any standard.

Good. I'm sure your kid would be better off anywhere BUT in your "Godly" home.

That's probably pretty much every day with you, huh?
If god made your child gay, it isn't the child's fault. If it isn't the child's fault, if god made them that way, how can you punish them? Aren't you supposed to love your neighbor, much less your blameless son? You are a hypocritical asshole.
I'm sorry. Hold on. What? "Stubbornly insisted"? Kinda like you... stubbornly insist to be... heterosexual? Or stubbornly insist to have whatever fetishes you have?
Or hell, stubbornly insist to have any natural differences from anyone else?
There is to be no difference. There is to be no unique. You are not unique. You are not special. You are not you. You are we. We are Legion.
I wish it was a crime to disown your own child, your own flesh and blood, the human being you created yourself like the God you love so much, for being gay!!!!! ARRRRRRGH. Parents who hate their gay children are human garbage and do not deserve to breed.
And as their parent, I could make their life very difficult if they stubbornly insisted on being gay.
Maybe for about two days. Then social services will arrive and if you are lucky, you might not end up in jail but the kid will still get taken away.
Do your future offspring a favor and don't have any.

Let's think about this for a second. "If there were a test that told me WITH CERTAINTY that my kid WAS GOING TO BE GAY," I'd get help and get mad when my son was gay.
So, you know the kid is going to be gay, and you have it just so you can make his life a living hell. Unless you meant, "if there were a test that told me with a significant amount of uncertainty," you're right up there with God in the pointlessly cruel department.
Kids aren't like baking cookies; you can't throw them out if they don't come out the way you like. How fucking hypocritical of you to boot your kid out of the house. How is that being godly? I hope your kids have the common sense to leave the home before you get a chance to reject them. Believe me, there will be literally thousands of others who will be willing to give your children love and respect. They don't need you, they probably won't love you, and they'd surely be better without you. Have fun growing old alone, gene.
Actually, don't worry about this guy. Things actually change when he really has, not just a son, but say a gay nephew, for example. One thing is what you, in your stupid contemptousness say, and something very different what you really do. And talking about contemptousness, if this guys cares more about appearance than their welfare of their kids, honestly, he is just as contemptous and vain as the sinners he hates.
Remember: Your child can get CPS on your petty and bigoted arse at any time. If they do, then CPS will make your life "very difficult."
Also remember: Your child gets to pick your nursing home. For your own sake, you better hope that this hypothetical gay kid has some siblings, and you better hope that you managed to succeed in brainwashing them to be as fundie and spiteful as you.
Psychiatric help would be as helpful against gayness as it would be against tallness, you imbecile. You could also make life difficult if they stubbornly insisted on being tall, but it wouldn't change facts.
Feel that Christian love! Didn't Jesus say something about "for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was homeless and you took me in"? Would he approve of throwing out your own children? (Well, he might, as he also said you should rid yourself of your family before following him. Consistency was not his strong-point.)
Why do you want to have kids in the first place? What is it about kids that you like? Or do you only have kids because it's expected of you?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
