Gay dad has the perfect response for those who wonder whether he wants his son to like guys or girls
In the world where gay parents form a part of the society, it’s been established that sometimes, other people ask dumb and random questions about family matters.
And as a father of two young girls and a boy, event planner José Rolón does not escape these intrusive enquiries. Rolón, who has built up a significant following across social media as @nycgaydad, posted a video that went viral last week. In it, he and his son, Avery are responding to a question from a social media follower. The questioner asks: “Not trying to be offensive or anything just an actual question but do gay dads want their sons to like girls or like guys?”
The clip, a satirical swipe on the offensive and outdated notion that gays want to indoctrinate the young, shows Rolón asking his son a series of questions, with the son delivering gay-themed answers.
Dad: “Let me ask you a few questions. Who’s your queen?”
Son: “That’s easy, Beyoncé.”
Dad: “Hm. I still think it’s Janet, but fine. Favorite milk?
Son: “Harvey Milk.”
Dad: “Good! Batman or Robin?”
Son: “Thor.”
Dad: “You fell for the trick question! How do you say ‘yes’?”
Son: “Yaaaaas, queen!”
Dad: “Good. You’re dismissed.”
The responses ranged from a follower on Instagram who joked: “Is this the ‘gay agenda’ conservatives are always on about?” to those who expressed shock at the question: “What kind of question is that.. Anytime someone starts with I don’t mean to be offensive or I don’t mean to be racist means you’re about to hear the most offensive /racist shit!”
Another pointed out, “They say that as though cishet people have never tried forcing being cishet on their own children.”
On @nycgaydad’s TikTok, the clip has had over 40,000 likes and hundreds of comments. Some gay parents took a more serious approach to the question, with one saying, “Like ALL parents, we want our children to be HAPPY whatever form that, or they, takes.”
Some applauded Rolón’s opinion of Beyoncé … but not everyone. One follower commented: “This is wrong!!! You are raising him wrong!!! Clearly, his queen should be Mariah.”
Rolón reportedly said that he’s grown accustomed to being asked such questions by strangers. He said, “The more our social media presence has grown, the more we’ve been susceptible to some ignorant reactions and responses. I don’t get angry or hurt, but instead, choose to answer with humor with a splash of education and move on.”
