Yippie!!!! I am thrilled about this decision. Both my son and my daughter are Gay.

I feel so sorry for you. Your children have been lost. You've become so blinded by your love for them you can no longer see. You have a very sad story. How horrorfying for a mother. I can't even imagine your plight.

"My plight" ???

Rather it is my JOY! My children are terrific human beings abundant with compasion and love. Both are high achievers, graduating with honors from top universities and volunteering in their communites and beyond. My son has a souple hour a week part time job with his church and a yar form now will be in Africa with the Peace Corps. This is in addition to the volunteer work he did rebuilding dilapidated homes in Hazard West Virgina with his church. He also does food walks for the hungry and other community works.

My daughter vounteers for the Special Olymics, home tutors students with emotional diabilites, and other community service. They lead rich full lives, their lives are not centered around "the Gay Agenda." Like all Gays they know what it is like to be marginalized by society (peopel liek the posters on this message board)and they help others in their community and beyond on a regular ongoing basis.

My Plight? I think not, rather they are my Pride. I am proud of their achievments and what they do for humainty. They learned it at home and being gay is just a part of their lives it is not their whole life.

I don't think you all here get it. My children are accepted in their workplaces and by the community. You and your opinions are now in the minority. The tide has turned and you don't realize it. Being gay for them is just a matter of fact and it is taken that way by others they work and interact with.
