A reddit user came to confess that his progressive liberal mother raised him as a gay child because she has always wanted a homosexual son. Nicaraguaa, as his username is, was brainwashed into homosexuality even though he is straight.
He finally decided to move out alone and now dates women. He still hasn't revealed his true sexual preferences to his mother as he doesn't want to upset her for the time being.
Here is Nicaraguaa's reddit post with all the comments from other reddit users:
People have been going crazier and crazier! What kind of respect is that when your parent refuses to let you decide on your sexuality and forces you to be something you aren't. How are you supposed to know what you like if you are not allowed to explore your options before you make your final decision?
Imagine this guy as a teenager. He must have gone through a really f*cked up phase.
Wow, this is terrible - and actually a form of child abuse. Even if parents raise children in a "gender-neutral" manner, that's just as bad. Children require role models, and if parents fail to demonstrate healthy male/female relations (or gay adoptive parents or guardians fail to find suitable male/female role models for their adopted children in their case), this is a problem.
Totally agree on that. Children nowadays have been receiving so wrong and mixed-up stimuli. I wonder what our future society will look like.
I feel bad for his mother... Despite her efforts, her son grew to be a literal hitler. I am so triggered right now...... She should have castrated and reassign him into a girl right the moment he was born. #allmenarepigs
LOL, man!
Maybe she should have, then her son would realise he liked women and get reassigned again, but after that he would become too gender-frustrated and might get a third reassignment surgery like this guy:

Sad, never thought a mother would do this.
When you're over-obsessed you get blind. Fanatics are unable to see they're overreacting and their deeds lack reason.
My face when I see this crap
We must not lose faith in humanity, bro! We must raise our voices, there are still sane people out there! Don't let them get brainwashed
I don't even know what to say about this one.

This story would be hard to believe if I didn't have a buddy with a liberal mom who behaved much the same way. She would have been thrilled if either of her sons were gay. Instead she decided that her youngest had "Attention Deficit Disorder" and built her career in social work by putting him on drugs and dragging him to conferences.
The things parents do to their kids to get attention for themselves...it's never ceased to amaze me.
For God's shake! Children are not a behavioral experiment, neither a way to express all your suppresed desires and goals. How is the boy doing now?
Good now, thank God. But it was a rough road. Heroin addiction, black-out alcoholism, but now sober for about ten years. Still on mood and "attention" medications, though. I don't think he can contemplate a life without drugs.
It's a shame, because he's an absolute genius with math. Went back to school as an adult. Showed up drunk for an exam and scored one of the highest marks in the state and got a letter of congratulation from the dean, even though he didn't remember taking the test.
Man, his life could become a documentary, if not a movie. Such a shame, indeed. Another true-life story of how parents can destroy their children's lives. I really don't know what to say. I just feel sorry for what he's been through and hope he has a good life from now on.
