Is there a single worse feeling that a parent can feel than when their only child tells them that they're gay?
It's at that moment when they realise that they will never have grandkids. It's at that moment that they realise that their genetic legacy ends with their one and only child. It's not so bad if they have more than one child since the other ones can always provide them with one of the few things that they ask their children for. But when they only have one child, it's all over. Sure, gay couples can just adopt kids but it's not really the same as having grandchildren who share blood with you.
when they say they are trans
>muh pure blood
>muh genetic legacy
What fucking century is this?
>their genetic legacy ends with their one and only child
>implying that same sex babies aren't going to be a thing within the next decade or two
>genetic legacy
I would roll my eyes, but it hurts a little.

You know, surrogacy is a thing too. It's not something I'm considering yet, but if I am in a position to have kids in the future, I might look at the possibility or surrogacy.
>>5855706
gay=infertile???
What about the disappointment when they realize their only child posts on /r9k/?
I'll take surrogacy for 500, Alex.
>>5855706
It depends on you as a parent.
I understand why it's important for some people for thier kids to pass on the family name, or to keep the family going.
To be remembered, leave a mark, leave a legacy etc.
You're one of six billion. Ten years after your die nobody outside of your family will think about you. Fifty years even they won't remember you. A hundred years after you die any trace of you will be gone completely.
This is true for most people unless you do something great in your lifetime. Having kids has almost nothing to do with it.
Good thing I'm bi leaning gay. I can fluctuate.

My dad was devastated when I told him I'm dating a guy. It was the first time I've really seen him cry.
I'm his only child and he's too old now to try to get new kids so it pretty much ends with me. He keeps telling me that I'm a degenerate and that my entire ancestry is looking down upon me.
He doesn't even know that I already chemically castrated myself with HRT

Yeah, parents shouldn't ask that kind of stuff to their children to begin with. Raising children is a responsibility, not a priviliege.

>they realise that their genetic legacy ends with their one and only child
>genetic legacy
well I guess they should have not adopted then
Only autistic man-children working menial jobs have time to worry about this MUH HERITAGE garbage. As if blood is more important than what you achieve in life. Who cares if you share blood with your kids when you are a career shelf stocker or school bus driver. It is a pathetic cry from worthless people trying to desperately cling to any shred of importance they can convince themselves they have.
if your older brother is a neet autist and you are gay. that's worse, because you failed twice I guess.

Better make this closet comfy - I'll be in here for a while.
>>5856805
That's a bullshit reason to be in the closet. Just admit that you're a fraidy cat who doesn't want to do something uncomfortable even if it means they will be much happier in the long run.

they took it really well. but mom does always ask me if my sister has a boyfriend so i think they're getting desperate. they're mid 50s and they don't wanna be old old grandparents who are too infirm to take their grandkids nice places and take an active role in their lives. i'm gonna get married at some point, and i'd like to adopt, but i'll admit i doubt my parents would feel the same about an adopted grandkid instead of a blood one. feels kinda sad but its the truth and i understand.
Probably if they saw their child slowly and painfully waste away due to the parent's own faulty decisions until they became something that couldn't even be called their child only to die.
Actually, I don't need to worry about that desu.
I donated my sperm quite a lot when I was young.
I've met a few of my children, like 2, so I think I am kinda OK. I can be happy being gay, while my mom can be happy she has a shitload of grand kids she hasn't met or ever known of.

Heroin addiction tops that. I know from experience
>oldest brother is a heroin addict
>i can come out cause "at least it's not heroin addiction"
Besides as the youngest no one gives a shit if I pop out kids since I already have multiple nephews and nieces.
Also having a child on the sex offender register is the ultimate shame.
>stuck up aunt comes down being a stuck up cunt
>trying to shit on my family cause of bros addiction
>plus bringing up my "roommate"
>just bluntly say "funniest thing I googled cousin your_son for his facebook and instead up came his face as a registered sex offender"

Only child here. When I was about 15, my mom had her tubes tied. Guess mom and dad had thought it through and were really super-duper sure for themselves, that they did not want any more kids ever, period. When I was growing up, dad had a friendly piece of banter which was always meant in love, on the subject of additionals: "We do NOT need any more kids! One is PLENTY!" Dad mentioned how small his side of the family was, so many times, that it seemed to be a form of bragging.
Since it is true that many men unwittingly (or worse, consensually) raise children who are not theirs, I would like to state for the record that I have no doubts as to my personal parentage. I share enough heritable traits with both parents that reasonable doubt is eliminated. My point with this paragraph, and the previous one, is to paint the picture and emphasize that I am in actual fact, their one extra shot into this world, for what follows.
At 17, perhaps partially in response to the above, I used to crack jokes to my parents that "you are gettin' NO grandkids outta ME! The line ends HERE!"

At 20, I came out as bisexual to them, (after actually having had gay sex and being found out by friends, so I decided to get in front of it), and it went smoothly. Over a decade passed, and to date, I've never had sex with a woman despite masturbating to pornography involving women on a daily basis, and regularly mixing it up with some gay porn (which is why I remain so confident in my self-diagnosis of bisexuality, despite the strange set of circumstances I've illustrated).
I consider myself to have won the parental lottery. They've always been good except for the dick mutilation thing at birth. Other parents would have complained extensively by this point. At no point in my life have I felt put upon by them to have some sort of a relationship, much less reproduce. And there is a final piece.
Somehow, my origin story involves mom failing to use the pill around the time of my conception, and they were able to have a kid so once I was a zygote they decided to just roll with it. But the truth of the matter is that I was a surprise, which they did not tell me explicitly until a bit later in life. The point seems to be that they could have gone the rest of their lives without having a kid, and I feel the same way, now that I'm older than most of this board. It's just not important to them the way it is to others, and I'm very happy for it.
That said, our situation is an exception and not the rule, and this >>5855715 conventionally liberal "wow-just-wow" emotional non-argument fails to understand how important reproduction is to people's psychological and emotional well-being, in the general case. It's pretty much the closest that people come to having meaning in their lives.

Nice blog post buddy
>>5855706
I'm a fag, so no genetic kids from me.
My sister's a mess, and either aborts the baby or her body just naturally kills it.
And my brother is insane.
It's best we don't pass on our genes, and nature has decided to make it so.

You type like a girl
>Is there a single worse feeling that a parent can feel than when their only child tells them that they're gay?
When they're told their child is dead, and they're too old to try again, too tired to go through the process, just too exhausted from life and end up just going through the motions, knowing they'll never be happy, truly happy, again.
