no i will not forbid them from dating (once they turn 14-15) but i will encourage experimenting with normal relationships first, and if they want to be gay when they can make their own decisions thats fine. im not gonna encourage them to be gay because they thought they were at 13, for example. gotta let the brain develop.
that sounds like it would be really discouraging for your child to hear from their parent after coming out :/ and the kid getting into a straight relationship just for the sake of proving they're not straight would be pretty unfair for their partner. I know that you're just saying what seems reasonable to you but if you're encouraging them to "try out" being straight but you're against encouraging them to be gay then you aren't supportive of them
You're talking about this with the existing bias that being gay is abnormal. and being gay isn't going to disrupt their brain development 😭 sure, they could be wrong and grow up and realize they actually aren't but they'll figure that out on their own. What do you assume is a "gay lifestyle"??
i mean statistically speaking it's not normal. i'd not wrong, but it's not normal either. and it does change the way you're brain develops, that's a scientifically proven fact. i'd rather them grow up and figure out they're gay than do gay stuff and grow up to realize they're not. a gay lifestyle is doing gay things. so if you're a male, having relations with other males is gay. vice versa for females.
