SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29, 2008 - For the first time, researchers have established a clear link between family rejection of lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) adolescents and negative health outcomes in early adulthood. The findings will be published in the January issue of Pediatrics, the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, in a peer-reviewed article entitled "Family Rejection as a Predictor of Negative Health Outcomes in White and Latino Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Young Adults."

I’m not a troll, at all. My intention was not to offend. The thing about the magazine was meant as a joke, as I made clear later on. I apologize if it crossed the line.
Uh, that’s not what I was doing, and I don’t like you accusing me of it. If I had been doing that, I would’ve asked every man on this thread if they were gay. There were a few things that certain ones said that made me simply wonder, nothing more.
Enough said.NinoFan.Helllooo.Forget about that.Stay healthy,Stay Happy for the New Year.((((((Hugs)))))Fatima
Interestingly, gay people do want gay children, so my statement was probably inaccurate. Others don’t care if their children are gay or straight.
It brings to mind two questions.
If they developed a genetic test for gayness (which since I don’t believe it’s genetic, they will never do, but if it IS genetic is only a matter of time), will people do the test and abort gay children? And if they do, will it earn us new allies against abortion? Will the Supreme Court find a “gay eugenics” exception to the absolute right to kill babies?
If they developed a cure for the genetic gayness (which again I don’t think they will), would the gay lobby try to outlaw the procedure?
There was a story a few years ago about deaf parents working to ensure their children were deaf as well, and fighting attempts to cure deafness, claiming the deaf culture was under attack.
Some people applauded them, and others said they were practicing a form of child abuse by working to trap children in deafness.
I can see the same thing happening with gay children at some point.
I disagree.
Second you post about sticky pages is sick.
I thought it was funny. Crude, but funny. :)
Nearly every guy can get the pages-stuck-together joke. Even if he himself hasn't done it, he knows someone that has. We're guys... it's a 'rite of passage' sort of thing.
And if they do, will it earn us new allies against abortion?
Probably.
That’s exactly what it means. My best friend’s son is Gay. He wanted to bring “boyfriends” over and up into his room. His wife said no way. Her sons don’t bring girls into their rooms. Her house, her rules. He was 15 at the time. He threw a fit and moved out. The Public School was on his side. Now he’s living with his “boyfriend” and his Lesbian mother.
