Interesting read, thanks.
“Not surprisingly, I left high school as a virgin....”
Obviously, that could only be attributed to being raised by lesbians.
...homosexuals desperately need therapy but are either shamed or denigrated if they seek it...
...so we ALL suffer.
Thanks so much for posting.
Very important piece, very enlightening, and I hope we hear a lot more of these stories (as I know they’re out there).
Wow. Wow, wow! What a great article. I recommend reading it in its entirety.
I did not grow up in a gay or bi household, but I am the product of two (hetero) artistic, atheistic intellectuals who did not relate well to outsiders, in a small Texas town. Needless to say, until I grew old enough to figure out the social changes I had to make to myself to be acceptable to society at large, I had a tough life. Growing up, I thought “weirdo” must be my middle name, as it was applied to me so often. So I really identify with the author of this piece.
I’m perceptive enough to notice that liberal social policies don’t actually help people in those conditions. Especially damning is the liberal attitude that we shouldn’t be judgmental about sex. In the Bronx gay world, I cleaned out enough apartments of men who’d died of AIDS to understand that resistance to sexual temptation is central to any kind of humane society. Sex can be hurtful not only because of infectious diseases but also because it leaves us vulnerable and more likely to cling to people who don’t love us, mourn those who leave us, and not know how to escape those who need us but whom we don’t love. The left understands none of that. That’s why I am conservative.
Well written article. Thanks !
How does a child in such a circumstance learn to succeed in a pair-bonded world?
How do they come to know the yin and yang of the entirety of the animal kingdom?
Yes, such a child would find the world as strange as if it were another planet.
Interesting. He brought up some points I had never thought of.

Wow, this man has really learned something.
Great post. He explains perfectly what I have thought for a long time about of children of same-sex partners. I can extrapolate further—his experiences are similar to those children of any seriously dysfunctional family, without the same-sex experiences. God bless him. I hope he has happiness and joy in his life. Thanks for the post.
Thanks much for bringing this stunningly prescient article to my attention.
When you are a parent, ethical questions revolve around your children and you put away your self-interest . . . forever.”
A great statement by the author......
Great article.
Now if only Mittens could comprehend what sort of damage he causes little children by his support of queers adopting children.
ping!
I see this with the 7 yr old son of a work associate of my wife.
This girl got married, had a child, dumped the husband, and shacked up with another girl. She has primary custody.
Dad has subsequently remarried but has custody 3 days a week.
So Jr. says he has 3 moms.
It won’t turn out well.
Ping!
