I tend to agree with netmilsmon. Has there been any studies to say that homeschooled kids are more likely to turn out to be gay? Or is that just a subjective assumption?

I don't want to dismiss his point entirely, but the article seemed to go on at length about homeschooling. I'm no expert, but I've not noticed a connection. Most of the gays, I've known went to public schools. And they are more likely to be taught and exposed to homosexual concepts in public school than in homeschool.

So my gut feel is that the article is bunk.

And honestly, Dads are much more involved with homeschooled children, in my experience.
Why not get to the real issue slapping society in the face? The drugging and feminization of boys along with the divorce rate or women choosing to raise kids singally, makes for no man in the HOUSE.

The author makes a case for strong male influence from peers but, says that all of it can be overcome by an involved Dad, THEN blames it on homeschooling???? This makes no sense.

IMHO you guys are zooming in on the homeschooling issue when that isn't the jest of the article. He says that people who homeschool have to go the extra mile to make sure that their boys have adequate contact with other boys.

"I'm not saying that home-schooling produces homosexuals. I am saying that parents who home-school have an additional burden of being concerned about these issues."

Isn't that a true statement? I also think that he mentions homeschool because his audience has a high percentage of parents who homeschool. The theme of his study, in my opinion, seems to be that we should make sure that our boys have an adequate amount of male influence over them.
