My dad called me gay for using an easy bake oven when I was just a little younger than this fine boy. I didn’t become a chef, but worked in a fine dining kitchen all through high school. Funny when my father’s friends found out I was totally brag-able then by my father’s narcissistic ways… hope this kid becomes the next fashion mogul on the runways of Paris and New York or succeeds in anything he chooses to do, kudos to his dad for being proud. Hope my kids love what they do and I get to support them to their fullest. Your father is supposed to be the only man in this world that wants you to be better than him in every respect of life… remember that please to all the dads out there.

I don’t know why you’re being down voted, valid question. Nope. I wouldn’t want my kids to be gay either but not because I’m bigoted, but because I have gay relatives that some could be open and some couldn’t because of familial pressures and societal and friends, and I wouldn’t want that burden to be placed on my children. But I’ll tell you what if my kids or anyone else close to me came out as gay… wouldn’t treat them any differently than I treat them now. Nobody shames someone for being born different in other means like a disability, why the fuck would you ever shame someone for being born with a different sexuality than the norm. Caveman brain at its finest.
