My good friend's son... What would you do?

[-Ariel-]

One of my good friend's is a highschool football coach who I grew up with in highschool... you think I have an optimistic, sanguine nature, well this bro is the exact same way... except dude is like 6 4 250, so gets by by physical presence alone maybe shit is a little more stentorian... however, he called me last night to catch up and he made it sound like it wasn't a big deal, but I know he was concerned... he asked me what it all means that his son is more interested in playing with his sister's dolls and games like house than usual boy's toys like soldiers, and GI JOE, and hot wheels and those type of things... I told him probably means nothing... but in the back of my mind, I was kind of concerned too.... I mean my friend played college ball at Mizzou, never really saw the field though, and now is a highschool football coach, who plans on coaching at the college level some day. Dude could not be any more of just a good bro.... How do you tell him his son is most likely a mo? Or maybe this is a phase? Would you guys try to nurture this out of him? Would you promote acceptance and education, or would you try to change him...

He should turn to god.

Probably gay unfortunately. I have heard the same exact thing and the kid turned out gay.

I would tell him to keep an open mind about the situation. My neighbors kid plays with dolls all the time and wears dresses, I think he will be mo. I grew up with two sisters and all female pets. I never once played with dolls or dresses.

Well, i would just tell him that he will love his son one way or the other, so why worry about it until the kid is really old enough to know.

Shit dude... like I've got an open mind, but would never want a geigh son... dude I didn't have the heart to tell him.. how do you tell a dude who never bashed on anyone, whose open mindedness mainly revolves around what to do on third and short... so yeah I just basically reiterated a lie that its just a phase... felt bad, but shit don't wanna be the harbringer of that type of news...

Electroshock therapy works. They also have reeducation programs for young moes. I would have the kid see a psychologist.

Probably gay unfortunately.

Oh, what makes it unfortunate?

I know thats the right thing to do HR, and I mean I believe everything follows a karmic pattern that is supposed to teach us something... it is not all randomness that runs the universe, good thing is he's a great dad, I mean the kind of bro you know was meant to be a father, so loyal to his friends, family oriented bro, I mean if I had a daughter this would be the mold I would want her to be with... but you are right, I'm sure they will love the kid unconditionally no matter what orientation he is... but some world views will have to change... I'm not having kids for another decade atleast... if I do...
