He makes me so proud of myself, and he makes me like myself so much. And I’ve always liked myself. I’ve never not liked myself. I don’t have hangups like that.
But I’m so proud of myself that I made him in my belly. Cooked him in my belly and then he came out of me! This human who’s suddenly walking around and doing his own thing.
I can’t wait to know who his best friends are going to be, who his girlfriend or his boyfriend is going to be or what movies he likes.
Whatever my kid wants to do or be I will always support him no matter what.”

Well said and happy holidays!
NSB2244
Shouldn’t every mother feel this way about their child..regardless who they turn out to be.
Baba Booey Fafa Fooey
Very nice.

@NSB2244: Really? Why do you think there are so many young people kicked out of their homes and told ‘not in my house’???
I pray your remark was rhetorical.
Nahald
@Philip Epstein: Not all gay guys like like to shop. Personally i HATE it !
Kangol
Great to hear, Adele! Imagine being a kid and having her to sing you lullabies and happy birthday, too.

@winnie:
“Shouldn’t” Yes the comment is rhetorical.
BGinBigD
Adele is not only one of the finest performers in years, she is also one of the coolest mums on the planet! Luvs me some Adele!!

She didn’t react to the specific question of how she would react if her son is gay She simply inserted her comment into a general response without any specific prompting by a question. There’s a big difference.

@winnie: I think what NSB2244 was trying to relate (to intelligent people) was that when one brings a child into the world, they love them with all their heart no matter how they end up appearing to the outsider’s. Some mothers even love their sons/daughters when they have committed heinous acts
upon other members of society. Just because one is “different” than what the world “perceives” as normal does not make anyone love another any less. Unless THEY have troubles with THEIR OWN conscience and are afraid of what their relatives, neighbors, co~workers or church members may think about THEM having offspring that is “different” to their upbringing. When people bear children, they should be loving and kind to them. Being “GAY” is NOT a choice. Ask any str8 person when they decided on the questionnaire to “choose” str8. This is 2015 and if people do not understand the difference of gays being “normal”, I’d hate to see what else in life they do/do not like.

@Brian: Not a difference. She stated what was on her mind. Who says she needed to have been asked? Freedom of speech. She does NOT have to have it (a question posed to her) in order that she comments with a reply.

Big fucking whup.

New record sucks. Last one awesome!
AndYouWillDeal
Ugh, why can’t she just eat her feeling like a normal fat girl
ProfessorMoriarty
@AndYouWillDeal: Ugh, why can’t you just keep your ugly comments to yourself?
Brian
@Bo Hamrk: I think are completely inaccurate and have failed to distinguish between feelings and behavior. Homosexual feelings are not a choice but homosexual behavior IS a choice. All behavior is a choice.
Let’s not pretend that our behavior is all due to some nebulous force which prevents us from choosing. We ALL have the ability to choose whether we engage in homosexual activity or not.
Philigree
@AndYouWillDeal: to give “people” like you something to do.

@Brian: oh please, girl. had she been a republican, you would’ve been all over that statement. sit your ass down.

@Brian:
Taking a break from licking fire hydrants? Get back to work!
Bo Hamrk
@Brian: You sound like a sad and sorry homo. My dog is finished with the fire hydrant… Your turn at bat… Also, I guess you can state that having sex with a female since ur str8 makes that a choice. Such a little mind. Do your parents know you are on the computer looking at gay sites?
scotshot
@Brian:
How long were you homosexual before you decided to be heterosexual and feel and behave like one? Bullshit.
So nice to hear from the hetero Troll who masturbates as he writes his childish and ignorant diatribes.
I needed a laugh today, and then I saw your post Brian.

What the hell we care about how she’ll react ?

@scotshot: Nailed IT! “Brian” seems to be everywhere all over the gay boards. Why is he/she even here if they do not understand the gay “lifestyle” is a question I am often asking myself about with all these spewing “gays”. Community is what we want, not division. What’s worse is, besides cowering behind a keyboard, some of them “try” to disguise themselves by utilizing other screen names. You can tell which ones by “ANAL”lyzing their writing and ranting that they can not cohere. It’s sad that when the “Brian(s)” do not like a reply in their favor, they become “another” screen name and tend to “back~up” what the original “Brian” stated as in defending them. Does not compute…SoRrY!

@ Brian : You said “Homosexual feelings are not a choice but homosexual behavior IS a choice.” So I am curious. If you are a Gay man (I honestly don’t think you are, but hey, who knows?), you have homosexual feelings towards other men, How many choice you really have regarding to your homosexual behavior?? 1)You NEVER have any homosexual behavior in your entire life and die a horny virgin; 2) You have homosexual behavior; 3) You have sexual behavior with women (which is totally against your natural feelings). So please tell me, which choice would you choose?
