TOTW 07/07: Was Mr. Twist homophobic?
Artiste:
Merci seriouscrayons !
You say:
Oh, I didn't make myself clear. I think it's obvious that he definitely DID confide such to Mr. Twist. My post was in reference to optom3's post, which said that it's unlikely Mr. Twist would allow Jack to return home every year if he were homophobic. So my point was that, not only does Mr. Twist allow Jack to return home, but Jack feels comfortable enough to confide his plans, which imply that he is gay, to his dad, who seemingly took it somewhat in stride.
................
Seriouscrayons, Jack confides his plans directly to Mr. Twist, his dad ??
Au revoir,
hugs! Merci pour tes bonnes nouvelles !!

Yes. Mr. Twist describes Jack's plans in a way that indicates that Jack had confided them directly to his father.

Yet if they are gay we know that they will encounter,many things that we would give anything for them not to.
They will be taunted,ridiculed,in some cases beaten and even murdered.So it is for that reason I would prefer my children not to be gay.

lets think about what you wrote.
just as a fantasy hypothetical : if you had a baby and genetic tests revealed that he or she would likely be gay (and that day may not be very far off), and your OBGYN told you that you could participate in a new almost magical treatment which if used when the child is an infant could change his chromosomes and make him or her probably straight instead of gay. would you consent to such treatment?

You do pose a difficult question !
There are maybe many possible answers to that ?
Au revoir,
hugs!

no, there are only three answers:
1) one would change the sexual orientation of one's child
2) one would not change the sexual orientation of one's child
3) one does not know if one would or would not.
