Husband Says Wife’s Activities Will “Make Son Gay” – Reddit

I’ve heard a few remarks over the last three years but tonight has gone too far.

First time he started telling me i’m going to make our son gay was when i let my son draw my makeup on my face because he was watching me put it on and kept asking if he could do it too. He was 3 almost 4. I took out some cheap pallets and let him mark up my face. I didn’t teach him where anything goes. He got bored fairly quickly and laughed at how funny mom looks.

Second time was when i brought back some childhood toys from home and my son was playing with my My Little Ponies. He was just making them walk around and driving them in his cars. He also liked sticking them on the fridge. He said i need to keep them away from him because he doesn’t want me influencing him. That was a year ago.

Third time was tonight. I was showing him a house renovation that Trixie Mattel(drag queen) and her husband did. I watched all of the episodes at work(background noise) but wanted to show my husband the house reveal because there were aspects i thought he would love. I said “Gay men seriously know how to make a beautiful house, this work is stunning. There is a room i think you would love, it’s a music room/bar”

He said “yeah no they don’t know how to renovate, i don’t think i would love anything from this” and he laughed. I was honestly disgusted. And i said “what because they’re gay?? When did you start having a grudge against gay people” he said “i hung out with them so much the way they talk is so unnatural and i don’t like hearing it anymore”

He then noticed our son was looking at the TV and was like “no you don’t need to be looking at this, he doesn’t need to see this”

and that’s when i got really mad. Yes it was trixie on tv walking around showing her house with her husband. Her drag was in no way provocative or inappropriate. Literally they were doing a house tour. No men kissing. Just a house. i said “no i’m not doing this, when did you become so homophobic, there is nothing wrong on the tv” and he said “well you watch this all the time” and i said “no i don’t ever watch this stuff, you always say negative stuff about anything i do that’s girly. That’s not how becoming gay works, him seeing a house tour”

I just learned who trixie (i knew who she was but not WHO she was) was yesterday. literally from watching house remodels on tik tok. So as of yesterday, i watch one drag queens house reveal and now our son is doomed. Is he being overbearing and controlling or am i really being inappropriate around my son?? Im starting to feel like he’s just being controlling. like every time i do something he always has something negative to say. makes me want to pack up all of my sparkle to just make him shut up.
