Should you disown your children?
Saturday – October 18, 2025

First and foremost I want to mention that I don't believe that it is a good thing to disown your own children or indeed any family member, but I also recognize that there are occasions that may require you to take radical action in order to restore the scales of the celestial order, if not to uphold the moral law in the world then at least to protect yourself and your whole family from the malign influences of the serpent. I also want to just address why I decided to feature a picture of a homosexual, what appears to be a man: I did this because homosexuality is one very common reason why certain people of decided moral conscience do disown and have disowned their own children, but there are of course many other reasons why parents have decided to disown their children that have nothing to do with homosexuality or indeed any other sexual acts that violate the moral boundaries of the universe and the laws of nature. I also just again want to address homosexuality because I realize that this is a rather controversial topic: I do not hate homosexuals and I do not promote and I will not promote any kind of action, in the material sense, to be taken against people of this particular persuasion, and I also admit that there are plenty of other things that people do that can be described as immoral and in that sense I don't see homosexuality as particularity or uniquely immoral.

    I believe that the first action a parent should take is not to disown their child because I believe that as a parent you have a sacred responsibility to try to protect your child and try to guide your child in the right direction. I really only believe that you as a parent have legitimate grounds to disown your child if you have attempted all other avenues and if that child has become adult; at that point you no longer have any legal rights to that person and I believe that a last resort could at that point be to disown your child in an attempt to use wrathful Bodhicitta to inspire love within yourself, your child, and indeed the world. Do notice that for most modern men this would not be considered love, since for them everything should be accepted in the name of love; their form of love is nothing but the willful embrace of chaos, total and indiscriminate acceptance. But if you actually love your child and want to see the best in your child you as a parent would attempt to promote the sacred and the transcendent holy values and whenever you see your child straying away from this sacred and ancient wisdom you would rightfully attempt to put them back onto the right course. I also recognize that you as a parent would want your child to confront the world and to face certain challenges in life, so that they can grow a proper and real sense of skillful means. For instance: if your child is a thief you would punish your child in an attempt to make your child understand that what he did was wrong, but if you have attempted over and over again to instill this sense of righteousness within your child and nothing good has come about from it, then you need to consider other avenues, but again I only believe that you have legitimate grounds for disowning your child once that child cannot be helped in any other ways and once the law has prescribed that you no longer possess dominion over that child, usually that would be around the 18th birthday. Of course, I do recognize that you are bound by many materialist barriers and that you have to respect these barriers, not out of love or acceptance, but out of real material necessity, since it would put you in great peril and a greatly adverse relationship with the state otherwise.

    So let's then take that previously mentioned example of a homosexual son. First and foremost: I believe that you should pray for your son under any circumstances and I also believe that you should encourage others to pray for him as you pray for them, something I've covered in the past. So should you disown your son if he "comes out" as homosexual/gay to you? No, not at first. If your son claims to be gay then you have an obligation to find out how this came to be and you also have an obligation to attempt to guide him back onto the righteous path, and only after you've exhausted all of these means can you claim to have legitimate reasons for wanting to disown your son, provided that he is at least of independent legal standing in full accordance with the law of the land. But even if you have exhausted all means that you possess to attempt to help your son in the event that he should claim to be homosexual, you still don't have to disown him. I believe that you only really need to disown a family member if that family member brings major and adverse effects on the whole family. A homosexual son, while considered by most major metaphysical traditions to be a sinner, isn't necessarily a bigger or worse sinner than yourself or indeed most of your other family members, and it would seem quite harsh and rash to disown your son for simply claiming to be homosexual. Would you disown your son for having engaged in sexual intercourse with a woman outside of marriage? If not, then I do think you should consider not being that harsh with your son if he claims to be gay.

    This of course applies to all violations of the moral boundaries of the universe, but I decided to write about homosexuality today because of a recent story in the news about a father that decided to throw out his lesbian daughter. While I don't know the particular circumstances in that event, the news article didn't elaborate on any details, I do believe that people treat homosexuality as a sin often greater in magnitude than many other sins, but this is simply not supported by any sacred and metaphysical traditions shaped by deep time. So while homosexuality just like the thief's impulsion to steal is a moral aberration, I don't support treating homosexuality like something that is unspeakable: homosexuality is just another symptom of a world in profound moral decline, a world that has embraced the willing chaos and the reduction of men to objects, more on that in my "Collectivism & Individualism series". The overtly sexual in our world is to be expected in our times of the Kali Yuga, and I understand why a parent would react violently when they see their own child embracing the beastly form, but do remember that very few men can successfully and have successfully withstood the malign influence of the serpent.
