I will honestly say that when my two sons were young I hoped they would turn out to be straight. Wouldn't love them any less or judge them in any way if they weren't, but I think parents have a natural inclination towards wanting what they define as "normal" for their kids. Fewer challenges in life. Of course that could end up to be complete folly as they might turn out to be gay and that brings out in them other traits that make them wildly successful and leading a happy life.

Yea, I'd just deflect after getting called out on that stupid point too if I were you.

Also, @ ending bullying. Good luck with that. I'm sure it will go about as well as ending racism, world hunger, murder, etc.

Staylor will tell you otherwise but I never once said I had a problem with that. Doesn't make you a homophobe like he said. I've just never thought about it.

So yet again...something that she couldn't control got her shit from other people.

And if you had a choice, you'd prefer she didn't have said condition.

JFC you're so close.

Did I use the word ending? I must have missed that. But because we can't end something...we should probably never work on it, huh?

More gaslighting.

How exactly do you suggest we "work on it"?

You can't change human nature. Sorry. Your utopia isn't realistic.

It’s completely normal to think this way. It’s also completely normal to want your kids to potentially marry someone of the same race in the hopes your genetic characteristics get passed along

Nobody wants a gay or trans kid. If your kid is gay or trans you figure it out and do your best to be a good parent but it’s nobody’s first option given the choice. Which doesn’t matter because you ultimately get little to no say in who your child wants to **** unless you’re one of these religious loons or one of these rainbow warriors that parade them around to alphabet events. Then you might mold their young mind enough to push them down a certain path

Eh, I think he's just attempting to make a brand for himself. Can make a lot of money off the field by being quirky and different because people notice and talk about it. Dennis Rodman paved the way for it in the 90s. No one was giving endorsements and media hype to a defensive rebound specialist who can't shoot when he was in Detroit until the dude started dying his hair crazy colors, piercing everything and wearing wedding dresses. He suddenly became a celebrity and banging chicks like Carmen Electra because of that.

Just in case this comment was directed at me, it is exciting watching your child become who they’re meant to be.

I mean, as long as they don’t become an asshole, I can’t say I mind either way.

If I had my choice, I’d prefer my son end up being on the taller side but I won’t be upset if he’s a 5’4” short king.

The bottom line is ALL of the best QB's today and the best one's who have been drafted over the last several years ARE ALL TALLER THAN CALEB...FACT.

Does that mean he's gonna be a bust? No. But the worrying trend of qb's his height going into the nfl over the last six years has been clear to see. They are either bad or average at best. Fullstop.

There’s nothing clear about it. Baker and Kyler’s issues aren’t that they’re short and the best QBs aren’t the best because they’re tall.

You’re overrating height like a lot of people do. Same with arm strength. It’s way overblown.

Might be preferential though. Wouldn’t have to worry as much about teenage pregnancy lol

At the same time, Staylor does still regularly call people bundle of stickss so he’s feeding into this same culture that he recognizes doesn’t make being gay entirely acceptable.

[staylor26]

Oh GMAFB with this shit. I don't use the word bundle of sticks in any kind of hateful anti-gay context. I know gay guys that use that word in similar contexts. I've never once called a gay person a bundle of sticks.

Me not using that word isn't going to all of a sudden create you guys' utopia where bullying doesn't exist.

Talk to your kid, talk to the other parents, talk to the school, etc.

The flip side of not wanting your kids to deal with the bullshit is showing them how to properly handle it... and I think that sort of thing can go a long way towards not seeing major issues like depression.

Parents can absolutely deal with it the wrong way and make shit worse.

My kids will always be taught that bullying is never ok.

I don't really think anything else can be done outside of that. This idea that we can control the rest of society is just nonsense.

[Spott]

I’m just glad this future bust won’t be our problem. I really wish the Donks would draft him, but I’m sure they’ll find some other shitty QB somewhere.
