Absurd comparison.

I'm with you. But that's their strategy, Meg. They just keep bombarding us with this crap . . . and it eventually becomes acceptable because our political leaders don't have the gonads to stop it NOW!

We were borne a country of principles. We're dying ever so slowly because we've surrendered to perversion.

And anyone who wants to call me a homo-phobe . . . feel free. I suggest I've got more of a dog in this hunt than anyone.

Short and sweet and I won't answer questions about it . . .

An older brother announced he was gay a couple of years ago. After being married for over twenty years, after raising some beautiful children, after rising to the top of his career field. He'd kept it quiet for fifty+ years. But he joined a "NEW" church and was convinced he had to "come out of the closet to be true to God and himself."

My 80-ish year-old father was as healthy as an 80-ish year-old man could be when my brother made his announcement. He died nine months later.

He died nine months later.

Did I tell you my father died nine months after my brother's "Divinely Inspired" call to announce his gay-ness?

My brother was my father's favorite to talk about -- not that he loved him any more than the rest of us but my brother's career field is more high-profile than being a simple CPA or manufacturing company business owner. But my father NEVER talked of him again after my brother's announcement. NEVER! I never heard him denigrate my brother, and he was kind to my brother when he visited, but my father tried to mentally banish my brother from my his life . . . and this mental turmoil killed him.

Do I blame my brother? HELL YES I DO! He'd been quiet about it his entire life, why in the hell did he have to tell us now?

For those of you who say it's a decision for two adults to make, that it's not anyone else's business . . . I SAY YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!

And that's all I have to say about that . . .

I am sorry for the pain this late exposure of living a lie caused your family.It must have caused a lot of trauma to those who loved him.
