I can say with confidence that about 85% of straight males have a poor perception on gay people. Not because there is something innately wrong with people who were born with that preference, but because of how most of them turn out to be. We don't give a shit what you do behind closed doors, but when you are flying a flag outside your house screaming to the world that you are banging your husband, then it becomes an eyesore and that's a problem. I for one would not want my kid hanging out with anyone whom others will associate negatively with.
When growing up, did your parents teach you to pick a successful field (Doctor/Engineer/Business/Lawyer/etc) or did they essentially let you "do whatever you wanted to do"? Part of proper parenting is teaching your kid what is right from wrong and guiding them to be the best they can be. You want them to have a career that can support a family so they will not have to struggle later in life. If your kid is out playing barbies with another boy and you think that is okay, what else are you "okay" with.... I wonder what they will grow up to be like... Maybe something like you. Honestly tell me, what have your accomplished in your 27 years of life that you can legitimately say you are proud of?
Good job admitting you are prejudice against homosexuals.
Kids, (young straight boys) have been playing with barbies for decades now. You're making a big deal out of nothing. It's nothing I would promote, but it's nothing I would try to stop either.
Parents can help guide their children to have a successful career, but not everyone is cut out to make 6 digit figures. Along with that, not every individual has interest to be in those types of careers. Just to let you know, money isn't the only deciding factor when choosing a career. My parents raised me in a comfortable household and I've stayed out of trouble my entire life. My morals are higher than most, and I'm respectful.
No, my parents didn't tell me to be a doctor, or be an engineer, but you learn what high paying jobs are when you're young, so if you're determined to have that career, you can work for it. Motivation also comes from the child, not solely on the parents. I most likely won't make 6 figures a year because of my own lack of motivation, but I enjoy my job anyways.
What am I most proud of? I had a successful 16+ year stretch in martial arts. No, I didn't make money from it, and no, I didn't make a career out of it, but it defined who I am as an individual with the discipline I received there. Is it the best achievement in your eyes, probably not, but what you think about my personal life doesn't matter.
Do I make anywhere near what you make financially? No, I don't and I don't care. Good for you, you have a successful career. I have a stable job that I enjoy, I invest, and I have a very stable relationship with my girlfriend and we are building a house next year. Neither of us want children, and would rather travel instead. We go on 2-3 vacations a year, and have seen more than most of our coworkers and friends.
So again, I'll say that you are shallow, and all you care about in life is your financial status that NONE OF US give two shits about. Flaunting your success isn't humble, and it's rather pathetic. You made your wealth, congratulations, now move along. Notice how I don't ask to pry into your life? I don't care about your life, how successful you are, how much money you have, or your life achievements. There are 7 billion people on this planet and you are just an ant, just like me.
