Would you be with someone who says being gay is unnatural?

[joliejoleen]

This man that I've been seeing thinks that being gay is unnatural. He wouldn't go out in the street and protest against gay people or ever attack them. He just thinks that being gay is unnatural and doesn't want his children to grow up thinking being gay is okay because it isn't. Would you ltb?

If he doesn't think it's natural, presumably he thinks gay people make some kind of deviant choice by being attracted to their own sex, and acting on it? God knows the damage that kind of thinking could do if he ever had kids. Do you have any gay friends? Because you won't be able to and maintain a happy relationship! That kind of homophobic thinking and general intolerance could be the top of the iceberg. Sorry OP, he sounds like a dick. I hope you find someone nice, and from the 21st century. X

Considering I'm Bi I'd leave him because I'm a perfectly normal person actually. I wouldn't want him to hate my children if they turned out gay either.

I would leave him. At once.

No, I couldn't be with him. Also, if being gay isn't natural, why did two gay penguins in a zoo in America adopt an abandoned egg and raise it? Being gay isn't a social construct. Infact he'd be getting a dressing down for being such an ignorant tool!

I broke up with someone for this reason

No.

No. I couldn’t date someone so ignorant

Yes. Bigotry is unnatural, children aren't born hateful it's taught to them. And just because he doesn't have to courage of his convictions to go out and be an openly protesting homophobe doesn't make him a better homophobe than the open and honest ones.

Nope. I have zero tolerance for abhorrent social and political views.

Not cool. I'd be asking myself what other horrible views he might hold...

He's too ignorant to even realise he's a homophobe. The closest I would come to him would be polite disagreement, if forced to have a conversation with him.

No - people like this are too stupid to tolerate and he likely holds other horrid views.

I couldn't and I'd be very tempted to ask him that if ~natural~ was so important to him, why wasn't he living in a tree and if he thinks all the animals the large body of research showing homosexuality in thousands of species were unnatural too, but would be more likely to just block and move on, no matter what he would think of me.

He says doesn't want his children to grow up thinking being gay is okay because it isnt’ and doesn't think he's homophobic.

Dump him and run.

He sounds awful and it's not ok to come out with these things. Horrible brute.

I'd be saying bye bye to him OP. For my gay family and friends, being gay is completely natural for them FFS 🤷🏼‍♀️

I expect he watches plenty of lesbian porn though...

Being gay isn't normal. (4.5% population)
It not the mammalian ideal for survival of the species.
But being gay is a fact, living with your gay partner is good and being a gay married couple is just as valid as a heterosexual couple.

Time to forget this guy

There is a documentary on soon about gay animals
If he’s this dumb and old fashioned about this he will be backward about other things that just haven’t come up yet

Dump him for his stupidity if nothing else. Doesn't like gay people but thinks he's not a homophobe? Sure

Nope. 100% nope. It's just a symptom of an even bigger issue of not being able to understand people's differences or how brilliant difference is. Small mindedness = sh*t boyfriend.

I'm not sure it matters what other views he might hold. That one is enough to end any relationship.

I suppose it depends on everything else as well. How it's said etc. What I couldn't live with is anyone who might reject or criticise my children or family or friends for being gay.

I could never be with someone who said that.
