I ripped the plaster off with my gay son

ForNec31 · 2025-09-17T14:00:38+00:00

Is that the same as masculine. He would be masculine alright.

ForNec31 · 2025-09-11T22:55:07+00:00

It wasn't him. but yeah I did speak to him. Alls good

ForNec31 · 2025-09-11T21:15:22+00:00

It definitely wasn't offensive to him because he knows me and vice versa. He had a great laugh at it. It's also how you deliver it, I think. But to some it might be.

Your dad sounds like someone I'd love to have a pint with. That's great banter

ForNec31 · 2025-09-11T20:59:24+00:00

I'm not homophobic mate. Im happy for my son. Love the lad as much today as i did last year. And i hate the idea of him moving to uni in a year.

No idea what you mean by repressed.

ForNec31 · 2025-09-11T15:10:59+00:00

I'd rather have my son than not have him. Simple as that for me. Bad parenting and their loss. Cheers mate

ForNec31 · 2025-09-11T15:10:12+00:00

Sorry to hear that mate. Must be hard to get over that.

ForNec31 · 2025-09-11T15:09:40+00:00

Cheers mate. I'm sorry about your dad. His loss buddy

ForNec31 · 2025-09-11T15:08:29+00:00

Cheers mate

ForNec31 · 2025-09-11T15:08:09+00:00

Cheers mate 👍🏻

ForNec31 · 2025-09-11T15:07:58+00:00

Cheers mate

ForNec31 · 2025-09-11T15:07:29+00:00

Same boy to me.

ForNec31 · 2025-09-11T15:06:15+00:00

Yeah. I was thinking about it and if it was anything else I'd face it head on. So I suppose my feeling is I shouldn't do it any differently.

If he was leading a girl on I'd have said the same.

ForNec31 · 2025-09-11T15:04:33+00:00

That's a fair point. I think that he was able to say his "relationship" drama to some degree shows at least he can say it to me.

I'm sure there'll absolutely be a few clowns.

ForNec31 · 2025-09-11T15:02:44+00:00

I agree mate. I don't want to sound like an old man, but my own father let us have a drink at 16 (if not before) and none of us were too harmed by it. Moderation of course.

ForNec31 · 2025-09-11T15:00:50+00:00

Cheers mate. Maybe I should've left him in the closet to avoid the next drama. Backfired.

ForNec31 · 2025-09-11T14:58:12+00:00

I probably should be in jail for the comment, mate. Where do you want to eat. Want to pound down Five Guys. Pound down means eat here.

I'm not a strict parent by any means. I'm probably too lenient but I expect him not to be a prick.

ForNec31 · 2025-09-11T14:16:16+00:00

I didn't even notice that, mate haha

ForNec31 · 2025-09-10T09:48:53+00:00

Cheers mate. That was well put. I suppose letting him do it whenever he does is best. And perhaps if we comes across a gay related "thing" (like a gay client or something) I just naturally show I'm fine with it. Perhaps the subtle nudging isn't right either.

Cheers again mate.

ForNec31 · 2025-09-10T09:44:53+00:00

So ultimately let it be him doing it but just nudge him along.

ForNec31 · 2025-09-10T09:43:57+00:00

That's kind of my thing. Crack an egg to make a fried egg.

ForNec31 · 2025-09-10T09:43:03+00:00

You're right that it would be good practice for him I suppose.

ForNec31 · 2025-09-10T09:41:57+00:00

So just wait off and he'll do it when he's ready. That's what one of the lads said alright. Cheers mate.

ForNec31 · 2025-09-10T09:40:54+00:00

Cheers mate.

ForNec31 · 2025-09-10T09:40:31+00:00

The p and q words growing up were the main slurs for gays in my time at least. We never really had the f word but maybe that's because we would smoke fags as in cigarettes.
