Not sure how best to say this. My girlfriend and I have been in a relationship for a little over a year. She is really great and fun to be around and we have lots of fun. She is currently two months pregnant. Not planned but I am more than willing to accept it and take care of our new child.
The issue is she has some views that bother me. She has made comments in the past about how she as she has said in her own words "the gay community is gross" and "I would never accept any kid I have if they were gay". She has also stated that she views such people as mentally ill and has very traditional views. I asked her before what she thinks of transgender people and she has said she doesn't care what anyone says you are either male or female.
I realize this may seem ridiculous to worry about but now that she is pregnant I wonder if you think she could likely change her mind in the off chance our child is gay or what have you and not really worth worrying over.
I would hope that her ugly viewpoints would concern you regardless of the fact that she's pregnant. How anyone could find such a person "great and fun" is beyond me. Now you're doomed to be tied to her forever. Good luck.
My wife's father is very conservative, which confuses me, since he was a big part of the hippy crowd in his teens and twenties. My wife had some fairly conservative views, but not as radical as what you are describing.
It took a few years, but she doesn't have those views any longer.
But it will depend on how open your wife is to discussion. My wife talked a lot about certain issues and why I believe what I do. I have never even hinted to her that she should mirror my thoughts or vote the way I vote, but I can tell her views have changed.
Okay, if this is a real post, this is Reason Numero Uno you don't bump uglies with someone until you actually know that person. Because this is a real disconnect in belief systems and values. And while it has emerged on the question of gays and transgendered people, it will arise on other things as well. But she's pregnant with your child, which means you're tethered to this person for the next 18 years in ways large and small.
So she has traditional views but is having a child out of wedlock - how does that work again?
But other than the fact the post reeks of B.S. what is the issue? She doesn't think positively about homosexuals? Oh gee, cry me a river. People are entitled to an opinion. And I agree with her view on the transgendered. Next time try getting to know someone before you have unprotected sex with them. She might not be too happy now realizing she cuddled up with an Alan Alda type.
What is her reaction to the gay people/couples you know?
And if you tell me you don't know any, I'll know the OP is a bad fake.
