Would you rather your daughter become a lesbian or the other party?

[Redefeatbush04]

My daughter will become whatever she wants to become. i will only be there to guide her, and assist her in her life choices. If she is a lesbian, I will still be behind her 100%. If she is a republican, I would support her no less. Unless she is like Philip; then I would disown her. I voted other party BTW. I actually want her to be from the other party (strange I know). I love debate and I want her to be a free thinker. If she grows up with the same ideals/beliefs as me she will not think for herself and will only hear one side of things (unless my wife can provide the other).

I don't think this is a fair question. Political preference can change everyday. I can wake up and say "I want to be a republican." Sexual preference is much more natural, I can't wake up one day and say "I want to be homosexual", and then a week later say, "No, I want to be heterosexual". You pretty much are what you are.

Option 1 for me.

So what you are basically saying is that you would rather have your daughter be someone she is not than become a Republican.  You have issues.

what the hell? How is being a lesbian being something she is not?

[falling apart like the ashes of American flags]

Well I don't think there's anything wrong with being a lesbian, and I do think there's something wrong with being a Republican.

You're twisted.

I simply do not think that there is anything wrong at all with homosexuality. what's twisted about that?

Lesbian, as long as she stays GOP

I couldn't care less.

If my daughter ends up being a lesbian, that'll be ok with me. I would prefer that she not be one, of course, given how much more difficult life would be for her in many ways as a result.

So if I had to choose, I'd prefer she be a Republican rather than a lesbian, but given that it isn't my choice or anyone else's to make, while party affiliation is of course a choice that she can make, I would prefer to hear her say that she was a lesbian than to hear her say that she was a Republican.

I was with you until the last half of your last sentence.  Your statement seems pretty contradictory.  I was ready to congratulate you for being one of the few Democrats with a sensible position on this issue, but now I'm not so sure....

Nation, you didn't let me down in believing that you are in the minority as a sensible Democrat.  I find the results of this poll appalling.

[Nym90]

I tried my best to explain how it wasn't contradictory. I guess I didn't do a good enough job.

I personally have nothing wrong with someone being a lesbian, because I feel they can't choose whether to be one, or not to be one. However, I certainly wouldn't want my daughter to actually be a lesbian, due to the fact that her life would be much more difficult, and gay people have to go through a lot of bigotry and other issues, not to even mention the inability to have a family. So it's certainly not something that I would ever wish on anybody.

While I would be disappointed to hear my daughter became a Republican, I'd respect her decision. I hope I didn't give the wrong impression. So that's what I meant, I'd be more upset with her for a decision that she made that I didn't agree with than for something that she had no control over. However, being a lesbian would overall be much worse for her quality of life, so if I personally could choose, I would rather she be a Republican.

That makes a lot more sense to me now.

I wouldn't mind her join the Libertarian party.

What's so appalling about it? I have no problems with homosexuality. Period.
