Interesting how this seems to happen every single time there’s a large gathering of Republicans.

    convinced that gays can influence that their kids will be gays

    if that’s how it works, then just influence your kid to be straight again, “problem” solved.

      You don’t understand: teh gays are just cooler than straight people, so the kids are powerless against their ‘rizz,’ and boring straights can’t hope to compete.

        That’s so funny, I’ve never heard it put like that but that’s exactly what a lot of them think.

        This is especially crazy thinking in places where being gay is hell (in some especially bad ones even punishable by death). If it was a choice, why would someone willingly choose that, when being straight is so much easier.

      That IS how some people think it works, which is why conversion therapy gets pushed. I appreciate that you were joking but it would be lost on anyone you’re actually talking about.
