Those of us who aren't parents I guess can't say that....

I don't think the details matter. There are certain things you just should not text/email for regardless of what the relationship is or what the circumstances are. Would his Dad text him to say that his mother had just died? I would hope not and if he did, the Dad would be 100% in the wrong.

The details we know is that the Dad got a text from his son while eating dinner. Thats pretty heavy stuff. I can fault the Dad for not supporting his son, but I cannot fault him for being upset or hurt at the way it went down.

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

I was joking regarding that first comment.


He is wrong for being upset that his son is gay. Who knows what the circumstances are or were, its just IMHO something like that should not be told any kind of electronic media, that's all.

My Dad and I will frequent Denny's before golf during the summer. Him being a diabetic, there are certain foods and restaurants that throw his count way out of whack, and Denny's is not one of them so he loves it. It is nowhere near my favorite (it would probably get 2 Brent faces), but for $3 I can get a coffee and a small order of biscuits and gravy. Nothing wrong with that.

Why? Should he have considered this to be fantastic news?

Not at all, but would you disown your child if 10 years from now he told you he was a Red Sox fan?

If, God forbid, my son told me that he was gay, of course I would still love him. It does not, however, mean that I would have to be super happy about the news.

I find it hard to believe you wouldnt know. They must not have been very close.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

Concur. Sounds like a relatively disfunctional family situation.

He probably suspected for years but didn't want to believe it..the guy seems like a huge asshole, reminds me of tony dungy. He is probably a bible thumper who still believes being gay is a choice. real dick move to not publicly support him..regardless of how he really feels.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

He should have considered that he loves his son and what his bigotry would mean to their relationship.

There are numerous cases to support the fact that in some instances.

Then please post some of these numerous cases.

RPB said this for a while around here. He posted a study where folks changed their preference.

If you have an interest, it's not to hard to find examples. Like I said, if you have an interest.
