Today, I found out that my son is not really gay. He just told me that so I'd let him have girls in his bedroom. FML

haha, that's a great idea, very original. But seriously, if you were a bit open minded with him you could have avoided this... I'm also kinda wondering just how you found out.

I'm 21 and I don't live at home, but when I go home, I can't bring my boyfriend with me if my parents aren't home, because my parents don't allow guys in the house when they aren't there. And when I was a teenager it was the same way and we couldn't have guys in the room with the door closed. ALL of my friends are guys. So yes, #93... it doesn't mean sex.... I wasn't even thinking of sex at that age.

I don't really understand why parents shouldn't allow their children to let someone of the gender they are attracted to be in their bedroom. They can be just friends. And they can also be old enough to have sex as long as they are protecting themselves. Not letting you children have sex in their own bedroom isn't a solution, most of them will do elsewhere and often not protect themselves. By the way, if their children is bisexual, they have to be lonely forever ?

No where in the post was the OP bashing gays and nowhere did they say they disowned their son. And not allowing people of the opposite sex behind closed doors with your kid isn't unreasonable. When I have kids I most certainly don't intend on letting them have boys/girls locked up in their room all day. If you're not planning on having sex with them well, you've got nothing to hide then, eh? If you need to speak with them in private there's a little invention called cellphones with texting! Or go somewhere else. Having been a teen only three years ago, I was just as whiney about parents' rules, etc... But now I realize I had it good. Now I have utility bills, tuition, rent, and more to pay. I'd kill to go back and have a homecooked meal every night and have all my things paid for, even if it means following my parent's rules. After all, it IS his house. So all of you saying YDI, just wait until you start living from paycheck to paycheck and not having Mommy and Daddy pay for all your shit. Then keeping the door open when you have boys/girls over won't seem so bad.

In my mind (and yes im still a teen) she shouldve just let him have girls over in the first place and that way she could of just set the rules like she can only stay an hour door open at all times and no funny buisness that way she could check up on them and make sure everything was staying PG instead of them getting around the rules and sending them each other naked pics of eacother over txt and having phone sex in the house right there. Plus having here there makes sure that youknow whats going on instead of having both of them off in some bush at the park making you an early grandma

I really admire your high values and understanding of parents' minds. I wish I could fave this comment, but unfortunately I can only give a thumb-up and reply to your comment.

The OP has to protect the girls going into the room. If they do have sex and the girls parents find out it was in that boys room, then yeah..... What do you think would happen?? Hmmm... Anything involving a shotgun... It could be in the near future? That's why parents don't allow girls into a guys room. Until they move out the parents are responsible for whoever goes in the house

not all parents are like that. i had my boyfriend over for a party and we went to my room and had sex my parents figured it out and gave me birth control pills and told me to be careful. But thats partly because my parents are German and 90% of my friends in Germany their parents support them having sex, and drinking. while i have friends in America that get grounded for kissing a guy... Its just that Americans in general are far more closed minded. Someone told me the other day they thought America was the most open minded country about Gay's I laughed in their face that is incredibly untrue.

So we're close minded because we don't let our kids have sex, do drugs, and drink? o_O Teaching your kids about safe sex is one thing, but being plain irresponsible is another.

No your close minded because you think sex is bad if they wanna have sex let them support them tell them to be careful. Give them birth control or condoms so they have what it takes to be safe. Drinking in Germany is legal at our age. And i never said anything about drugs! I also think your close minded because America doesn't let gays get married! thats the main reason i think American's are closed minded because of the whole anti-gay rights thing

Well, I think (or at least it will be soon) the majority of Americans aren't opposed to gays getting married. I certainly think it's stupid that their argument against it is 'preserving the sanctity of marriage' when our divorce rate is so high. Sanctity, indeed. I know no one that is against gay marriage. And, I think German parents are ahead of the game as far as being honest with your children goes. Nobody should be grounded for kissing someone else, how tyrannical... >_>;

Since you wouldn't let him have girls in his room if he was straight, then did you not let him have guys in his room?
