Explanation:
The tide of marriage for same-sex couples has ebbed and flowed over the last decade with no end in sight. Because marriage sits squarely at the intersection of religion, law and society, the discussion around same-sex couples’ inclusion into the institution of marriage has been one of the most complex and hotly contested topics in America.

Other than threatening to shoot your son 's hypothetical gay partner, you mean? No, that's not hateful. That's not intolerant or prejudiced. Not at all.

Nope
No I do not I give everyone a fair chance to prove themselves as people not labels but at the same time detest anyone who screws with my plans and, and my plans are for my son to give me grandchildren ( blood kin ) so anyone who goes against that or any other plans that I have is an enemy and will be dealt as such.

Your son
Your son can still give you "blood kin" grandchildren, even if he is gay. I am gay, and I gave birth to my children . Men who are gay frequently father children by the same means used by couples with infertility, and raise them.
The problem for you is that, if your son turns out to be gay, he will know exactly how you feel, and, though he may very well father your grandchildren, he will very likely not let you anywhere near them or his spouse. So you will lose not only your son, but your grandchildren, as well. How very sad for you.

I'll pray for you
I'll pray for you, popabear, because you are so very full of hate, and not only does God not want us to hate one another, but also, it's just not good for you. God bless you.
