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.

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.

I don't dissagree that fathers and male influence is important in the life of young boys.

But I am very skeptical about the claims that homeschooled children have less male influence than public schooled kids. I doubt that there is any link between homeschooling and homosexuality.

He makes that claim and then bashes homeschooling to support the claim. At a time when the establishment has declared war on homeschooling. I want to see studies backing a claim like this, before I accept it as true.
