"When he was about 11, he came to me, he goes, 'Mom, I'm sorry, but I think I'm straight,'" she recalled with a smile, as Clarkson sat back back in her chair laughing. "I tried to tell him it was a phase, but, you know," Etheridge joked.

There was a skit on Saturday Night Live during the 1980s where a guy admitted to his parents that he just wasn’t gay and he was quitting his job at the flower shop.
It’s hard to believe this story has not become true.
Shun “them” until the start thinking properly.
Parents Grooming their own children to be gay ,LOL
Her own mental illness caused grave consequences on her son.
Is that your dirty secret, DIRTYSECRET?
The sins of the father…
These “parents” think of their children as pets.
A woman can do her very best, but she can NEVER be “dad”.
Per the article, the poor kid is severely dead
I looked to see if it was the Bee also. ME is a singer but I don’t recall what she sang.
No, she didn't. And statements like this are why her kid is so screwed up.
Trying to decide whether or not you were “straight” or “gay” was never anything that most of the kids my age ever even thought about as far as I knew. This business seems to have started well after I was middle aged. Now I am older than that & have no concerns about it...never did as a matter of fact.
“NORMAL” is the new “N” word. It triggers those who are NOT.
“””He does look a bit feminine...””””

Give the guy a regular haircut and he will look like a regular boy who is a few pounds overweight.
His bones will…
Yeah, I got that. Not up on the Melissa Etheridge scene. Severely boring.

Everyone is straight until proven otherwise.
**You gotta try em’ both before you decide.
Is that your dirty secret, DIRTYSECRET?**
That’s a funny one. I am being facious.
Just a phase? What a monster. And notice she didn’t end her blood line being a “completely natural” lesbian she resorted to unnatural methods to have a son.
We are living up in Laurel Canyon right now, in fact, 2 blocks from Crosby’s old homestead. Great area, terrible people. Crosby was a talent, with the Byrds and with CSN, but his history of substance abuse probably wrecked havoc on his DNA
