Two questions, and I know one of them has been brought up before.
1. Would you have allowed it to happen if it was a heterosexual relationship and not a homosexual relationship?
2. Why do they need to live with anyone? What's the reasoning for not being able to have their own place? If it's just temporary until they get on their feet, that's one thing... if it's a permanent thing, that's a whole other story.
As for keeping your 7 year old from it, that's your call... my son was exposed to a gay man at the very moment of his birth, in fact the same gay man was the one who held him first and brought him to my chest, gave him his first bath, and spent the 5 days/4 nights with me in the hospital (seriously ladies, how many husbands spend all 5 days/4 nights in the hospital with you?!?) Do I fear he'll be gay or somehow be tainted by this contact? Not at all. My friends, gay or straight, are my friends for a reason and as such they are allowed to be around my child as they are, not putting on some dog and pony show simply because they're outside the social norm.

I don't think that really matters. It's her house and her rules either way.

You're a LOON :)
I agree her house and her rules... the same would apply in my house.. I was just curious if it was because they were gay and she is trying to shield the little one..
Honestly I don't get the whole anti-gay thing.. but then again people don't get why I am not against gays

Since you asked, I wouldn't allow it if my son was gay or was with some beautiful blonde. It's just respectful, you know. Part of me wouldn't want it happening because of the gay factor but that is minute compared to the aforementioned.
I'm pro-gay too. It just isn't for me. :shirleytemple:

I'ma start a poll. Because I think that most Republicans, traditional homophobes that they are, don't really give a crap about gays. I think they're more worried about their taxes and gay marriage is just something that has been stereotyped on them.

It would be a cold day in hell when an unrelated 26 year old would be camping out at my house and mooching off me. What, these two can't get jobs and rent a crappy apartment somewhere? I haven't lived with my parents since I was 17 and never asked for a dime after I walked out in 1984. The very idea of having two able-bodied men, who just happen to be rump rangers, wanting to live at ones mother's home amazes me. Have they no pride? No respect for themselves? Are they going to be cuddled up all day watching soap operas while you work to pay the bills? Yuck, kick them out ASAP.
And yes, protect your 7 year old from the knowledge. At that tender age she doesn’t need the visual of two men lying around the house languidly kissing each other.

he would not be able to sleep with anyone in my home unless they were married - regardless....

Children are going to make something a big deal if they are shown/taught it is a big deal. If you act like it's normal, chances are they won't even give it a second thought.

Why is there the expecation that there will be PDAs? It seems that many people assume gay men are constantly having sex in public.

My mutts have been around my gay friends and they don't think anything of it...it's all in the way you treat it
However, I would have an issue with my 22 yr old child and his/her SO living with me and not paying rent
Maybe it's because they're men?

I would never want to go to my b/f's parents' house and spend the night in the same room. I would feel uncomfortable and as if I was being disrespectful.
Tell them once they are legally married. That was my parent's rules and had nothing to do with gay/straight or anything. When I was a kid, I remember my uncle spent the night on the couch and his g/f slept in the guest room when they came for a visit.

Short of living in Canada, California, or England, homosexuals cannot be legally married... so there's a flaw in that.

Ain't my problem. They can fly to Cali, get married and fly back. I still abide by the "my house my rules" concept and showing respect to your parents.
