28. "That's the way his mommy and daddy chose to raise him" ??????

What? Why would this have anything to do with his parents? Teenagers don't always base their decisions on what their parents think. He wears makeup because he likes to, not because of his parents.

I'm sensitive to this because I have a teen who is non-binary and gay and whose best friend isn't allowed to hang out with them anymore, and this is the reasoning her parents gave. "You chose to raise your child in this way, and we choose to raise our child in a different way." It's such bullshit. My child isn't gay or non-binary because of how my husband and I raised them. It's just how it is. Maybe my child is comfortable being open about it because of how we raised them, but I don't think that's a bad thing.
