One mother’s essay, which states her desire for her 6-year-old daughter to be gay, has triggered a debate about parenting and gender stereotypes.

Sally Kohn, a CNN contributor, lives with her partner Sarah Hansen and their daughter Willa Hansen-Kohn in Brooklyn, New York. In her recent essay for the Washington Post, Kohn writes, “I’m gay. And I want my kid to be gay, too.” She explains her stance by saying, “But more often than not, we define happiness as some variation on our own lives, or at least the lives of our expectations. If we went to college, we want our kids to go to college. If we like sports, we want our kids to like sports. If we vote Democrat, of course we want our kids to vote Democrat.”

. . . their daughter Willa Hansen-Kohn . . .

Nope, sorry, THEY do not have a daughter. A Dalmatian perhaps, but not a daughter.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Because I´m a leper it follows that my child should be one too.

Isn’t that cute. The daughter even has a hyphenated name.

God help this kid with a mentally deranged idiot like this for a parent.

[I want the USA back]

This is child abuse and insanity.

“This is child abuse and insanity.”

I'm pretty sure it qualifies as both actually.

[driftless2]

She might as well have said she was mentally ill, and she wanted her daughter to be mentally ill.

Horrific.

Not too long ago, homosexuality was considered a mental illness and smoking was just a bad habit. Now smoking is a mental illness, and homosexuality is "normal".

But it's not normal -- in fact, it's pretty far away from the norm.

"Less than 3 percent of the U.S. population identify themselves as gay, lesbian or bisexual, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Tuesday in the first large-scale government survey measuring Americans’ sexual orientation."

I thought gay was genetic.

[A CA Guy]

Was the child from insemination or an adoption?

[kiryandil]

There's no "conversation".

It's child abuse. Take the kid away - that's what The State would do to home-schooling parents.

[punknpuss]

Exactly - why would someone want to saddle their child with a mental illness?

[Servant of the Cross]

In other words, Sally opposed “Choice”.

[rfreedom4u]

Wouldn’t surprise me if she were trying to “indoctrinate” her daughter into being gay by molesting her.

[Paid_Russian_Troll]

You can’t say homosexuals and hypocrisy in one sentence. That’s racist!

[SWAMPSNIPER]

No different than wanting the kid to be a pedophile. It's a similar form of sexual aberration.

[G Larry]

Proving once again that 80% of homosexuals are the result of childhood molestation.

It ain’t natural!

[KosmicKitty]

Some people are allowed to say anything. Some are not.

[VanDeKoik]

Don’t worry.

This kid will have some “special training“ arranged by this freak to make sure she is “on that team” by the time she is 10.

She will just use the techniques pioneered by pedophiles to get kids to do what they wanted sexually. She will likely be surrounded by lesbians and super guy dudes for years to make the abnormal seem like it is perfectly natural.

And where the hell is the “father” of this girl? (afraid to ask)
