Hello, Kimiko Zakreski. -- (link) - Reagen Feb 26, 11:01 11
- Pretty nice! But, at 5'8, just a nudge too tall. I'll have to wait until she turns 80 and she's shrunk a good 6-10 inches -- nm - flavorize Feb 26, 11:08 7
  - Each to their own I guess. 5'8 seems to be completely there - JD Feb 26, 11:35

bonus hax chat q: parent doesn't want 6 y.o. going over to play at the gay family's house cause he's "too young to understand" gay (apparently) - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 10:56 61
- Furthermore, sheltering the kid from it is just prolonging the social stigmas on both ends. It's a self-replicating cycle ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 11:34
- I always love how homophobes always lead with "I'm not a homophobe but..." -- nm - David Feb 26, 11:14 26
  - I'm not a redneck, but I grew up in a mobile home with a broken town car (or two) in the front yard. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 11:18 1
    - that should be a broken-down car. Couldn't afford a town car. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 11:18
  - Because you don't have to be scared of gays to question sociaty changes, but you get branded with that anyway. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 26, 11:16 23
    - But "question" often equals "oppose" - Guigue Feb 26, 11:22 3
      - Here's the thing...Not nearly as often as people think it does. This question is a perfect example of that. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 26, 11:26 2
        
        So the parent is not a homophobe, he/she is just ignorant and stupid? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 11:28 1
        
        Yeah, just because she doesn't mean too it doesn't make her worries less homophobic - Guigue Feb 26, 11:31
    - The who in the what now? -- nm - David Feb 26, 11:18 18
      - You don't have to be a homophobe to be confused/anxious about how quickly society is changing, yet as soon as you voice that, you usually get... - Name Withheld By Request Feb 26, 11:22 15
        
        Sure, but don't say "I'm not a homophobe but..." It's one of those phrases that make people assume you actually are, because it's been used by often - Roger More Feb 26, 11:28 1
        
        "I'm not gay, but that is a *fabulous* blouse ..." -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 11:29
        
        But unless you're concerned about gay people, being concerned about gay people becoming more visible is incoherent. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 11:26
        
        Unless you're also scared of the internet and the Segway, being scared of gays because they are more and more visible is pretty homophobic -- nm - Guigue Feb 26, 11:25
        
        Homophobe: an "irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals" - JaxSean Feb 26, 11:24 1
        
        Oh, great, now we can map the Viking discussion over to the definition of Homophobe. Heh. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 11:25
        
        Society has always been changing quickly. Get used to it. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 11:24

        Were you not calling the letter writer a homophobe? - Name Withheld By Request Feb 26, 11:30 6
        
        The post is effectively "I don't let my child visit Dano, a brain surgeon with the world's best personality, because he's gay." - David Feb 26, 11:32 4
        
        She's confused. She's obviously torn about it which means she's a helluva lot more open minded than many who would have just said no. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 26, 11:34 3
        
        She's looking for reinforcement in her hatemongering. "Enable me to say it's okay not to let my children visit the gays." - David Feb 26, 11:37
        
        So she's just slightly homophobic, then? - musubi Feb 26, 11:36 1
        
        "just the tip", basically, yeah. Sure, she's conflicted, and she's not trying to be malicious. But if the shoe fits ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 11:37
        
        It's pretty clear that the situation has an element of "fear of teh gay" to it, just like if the parents were black. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 11:31
      - He's been drinking his Conservative Logic Juice today ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 11:19 1

- "too young to understand" or you're just too uncomfortable to try and explain it? -- nm - znufrii Feb 26, 11:11 2
  - or "too young to understand" in a way that adopts and affirms your own internal prejudices? -- nm - znufrii Feb 26, 11:26
  - "Sometimes, when two daddies love each other, they open the special closet" -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 11:12
- i will take a contrary view and say i do believe the parent is well-intentioned. just ridiculously naive or overprotective - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 11:05 9
  - It's not like a kid is born with a notion that a man is supposed to be married to a women, it's something they learn eventually - Guigue Feb 26, 11:17 1
    - if anything, it's the ideal time to expose them to it, because they don't have any preconceived notions about it. - znufrii Feb 26, 11:19
  - pixie is smrt. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 26, 11:15
  - Practically this probably correct. It is uncomfortable the first time dealing with these kinds of things because you don't know what kind of - pmb Feb 26, 11:11
  - and more than likely, the 6 year old friend has already explained the situation to the kid better than his parents will ever be able to. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 26, 11:07 2

  - i agree with you. probably doesn't understand how much his son already understands about the situation. -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 11:05
- When our daughter was little, I would always take her across the street if I saw a gay couple walking toward us. - CrankYanker Feb 26, 11:05
- I do understand it some though. It must be difficult for a 6-year-old to understand with all of the fisting and child raping and all. -- nm - Dano Feb 26, 11:02 4
  - "You can tell the Obamas have a loving relationship with all the hugging and fisting they do." -- nm - clueless announcer Feb 26, 11:04
  - "I just wanted to make sure that before my son arrives, you'll be putting all the swings and plugs and whatnot away." -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 11:03 2
    - "I don't have the budget to redo the interior design of my son's room" -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 11:06

- what a dilkweed -- nm - CQ Feb 26, 10:59
- Dear dumbshit: Fear not, your son won't decide he liked the taste of cock just because he goes over to that house. - ty97 Feb 26, 10:59 1
  - *blink* I thought this was TFox at first. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 26, 10:59
- i'm... pretty sure it is literally impossible to achieve what this person is going for. -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 10:58
- My daughter asked me last night : "Can a woman marry a woman?" - oblique Feb 26, 10:57 3
  - No, you wouldn't want two vindictive bitches under the same roof. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 26, 11:01
  - so what did you say? -- nm - Don Homer Feb 26, 10:58 1
    - I basically said, that some people make that choice (she also clarified she was asking about making babies) - oblique Feb 26, 11:01
- Because you *are* homophobic and have something against gay people. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 26, 10:57
- you can't -- nm - Don Homer Feb 26, 10:57
- A: You can't, homophobe. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 10:57 1
