This is my greatest anxiety about the chance of having a gay child. I mean, alongside the systemic oppression they will face.
But also, I’m both afraid I’ll make this joke and regret it. And also afraid I’ll pass on the chance to make this joke and regret it.
Plus the systemic oppression thing. That too.
Just make the joke, it is your obligation as a father. It would also greatly diffuse the situation and cooly tell your kid that you’re fine with it and still love them, and that nothing will change between you two.
What do I say when I actually laugh out loud? Lol doesn’t work anymore.
I wish my kid was gay just so I could do this.
“but Daaad, I am straight.”
“WHAT, GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE AND DON’T COME BACK UNTIL YOU’VE FOUND YOUR KINK”
Worth it.
