Originally Posted By SingleParkPassholder By all accounts and attestations, I'm a happy drunk as well. The Cubs beat the Cards tonight, IN ST.

The beer has been flowing through the house since around 6:30 p.m due to about 7 or 8 people coming by on a typical Friday night. What relevance that has to anything beats me.

Quite the contrary, I think their misguided concern is culpable here, but I also think it goes beyond misguided. If these parents truly think she can be "cured" of whatever she might have, then that type of attitude could be more dangerous that any hate directed her way. Many child abusers don't hate their victims.
Originally Posted By Mr X I think the parents hate her. Especially the father. Conditionally, of course. If she gets "cured", they'll go back to "loving" her. Vile and disgusting people. I hope she finds solice in her girlfriend, her friends, and maybe any other family members who are not disgusting prejudiced scumbags. And I hope SHE disowns those stupid parents and moves on.

Originally Posted By ecdc "Misguided" doesn't even begin to describe these parents. That's like calling parents who won't let their kids date Jewish boys or black girls "misguided". Let's call these people what they really are: ignorant bigots who will cause devastating harm to their children.

Originally Posted By mousegrl < Those railing against Baldwin's moment of poor judgment and loss of temper don't seem to be as keen to denounce these parents for what amounts to psychological abuse, that they themselves have admitted will continue for as long as it takes.> I think the acts of both parents (Baldwin and these winners) are despicable. I don't see either parent as having any justification that warrants what they have done. "Curing homosexuality" What a joke. Their poor daughter is undoubtedly going to suffer termendously because of their lack of unconditional love. (I guess misguided love would be better wording.) I'm sure they love their daughter, just as Baldwin loves his child, but the acts they have both displayed because of a stressful situation is just gross. It is abuse in both cases in my eyes. Just as we didn't know the whole story in Baldwin's case, we really don't know the whole story here, and in my opinion, it just doesn't matter. What's wrong is wrong, and I just can't find any justification for either actions, no matter what led to it. BTW, I have only posted in one other controversial thread here; and there seemed to be such a lack of respect for others opinions, that I decided not to post in WE or any other thread that incited heated opinions. That's why I had not posted my opinion here. But when challenged, as in the post above, I shall arise to the occasion! LOL (I didn't mean for that to come across meanly, but I have wittnessed name calling and other retorts when one doesn't agree, and it's just not called for. I just don't want to play in that. Welcome to WE, I guess.)
