In a recent debate between myself and some radical homosexuals, one of them asked me, by way of refutation whose implicit intentions were to convince me that I am a 'hateful homophobe' and also to persuade me that homosexual behavior is a 'natural orientation," if and when I had 'chosen' to be heterosexual. "Was it at age 3, 6, 13, 19?" he asked, "Or did you (a female) just 'naturally' gravitate towards boys or men without any outside pressure or force?"
My response:
There was no 'choice'........there was never any question........it simply occured as naturally as breathing air. Now for yourself, 'something' occured that interfered with your natural progression towards manhood that, in effect, stunted this natural process in much the same way as a baby duck can have its natural progression towards becoming a mature duck interfered with. This usually occurs when a human causes the chick to imprint upon the human rather than upon an adult duck. So does the 'interference' with natural progression make the baby duck into something other than a duck? That the chick seems to believe itself to be, and even tries to be human make it human in fact? Of course not. It's still a duck in every sense of what it means to be a duck. Just as you are still a heterosexual despite that you believe you are 'something else'.
Should duck society and the laws of nature by which that society exists be overturned and forced to become upside-down in order to accomodate improperly imprinted ducks? Of course not. That would be insane. Just as it is dangerously insane for "improperly imprinted" human beings to demand that heterosexual society and the laws of nature by which it needs to exist should be turned upside-down in order to accomodate them.
What happened to the duck was wrong. What happened to you was not just wrong, but horribly tragic. However, for the greater good of our civilization, you and others like you should not be advocating that society and the innocence of childhood be swept aside and made to accept that "improper imprintation" is somehow a 'good' thing. Although you ardently wish to pretend otherwise, you do know deep down inside yourself that it isn't.
What you should be doing.......for the GOOD of all mankind and most especially for children........is learning {gaining wisdom} from your suffering in order that you can PREVENT what happened to you from happening to other children. That would be not just love, but agape, the highest form of love........love that calls for self-denial and self-sacrifice for the good of others
You sound like a mother who loves her daughter, and grandaughter. With all of this support, they will be okay.

What's all this gay duck stuff?????
I'm a married, hetro, much-loved duckie.......
Thank you so much for sharing your story.
LOL!
No problem. We're brothers - both male. It was a large Catholic family. Lots of brothers and sisters. Parents still happily married. Dad was around, very involved and loving parent. The two have had their ups and downs but my brother is probably the closest to my parents of any of us. He is the one who does the most for them now that they are older.
Never sexually abused. I didn't know it at the time but he was picked on some by other kids when he was in middle school who accused him of being gay because he had more friends who were female than male. He was a little effiminate.
I won't lie. It was pretty horrible when he first told us that he was gay. It got ugly. There were many attempts to get him to change. We drove ourselves and him insane. Then we had a real scare with one of my nephews being sick and there he was being his usual caring self - doing whatever he could to help and we kind of got it. He was different. He had always been different but he was and is an integral part of our family. It's been over 15 years now and not something we think about much anymore.
I don't agree with some of his political positions but it's kind of handy having a gay brother. He taught me how to play Nintendo so I could keep up with my sons. He fixes my computer. He is always available to watch the kids, he always knows what presents to get people. But the most handy thing is that he helps explain my wife to me. Like when I can't figure out what I said or did to get her mad, he can. VERY HANDY!

Jesse Jackson says "Stay Out o'da Duck"
LOL! I remember him saying that, "stay out o'da bushes" in 2000"
Rev. Jesse Jackson should have practiced what "preached," and stayed out o'da bushes in a timely manner. He stayed IN da bushes too long in L.A. and ended up with an illegitimate baby!! LOL
Maybe this is why it's called Phuket?
Yes -cease and desist selfish promotion of excrement impaction.
To chose someone of the same sex for one's sexual activity is to contravene the meaning, not to mention the goals, of natural sexual design. Homosexual activity is not a complementary union, able to transmit life; and so it thwarts the call to a life of that form of self-giving which is the essence of family living. This does not mean that homosexual persons are not often generous and giving of themselves; but when they engage in homosexual activity they confirm within themselves a disordered sexual inclination which is essentially self-indulgent.
As in every moral disorder, homosexual activity prevents one's own fulfillment and happiness by acting contrary to the natural order. Society, in rejecting erroneous opinions regarding homosexuality, does not limit but rather defends personal freedom and dignity realistically and authentically understood.
One of my sons once asked him why he didn't have a wife and kids. I was a little apprehensive but my brother simply aswered not all grown ups get married or have kids. We've stuck with that. If they ask directly, we'll answer directly and say we don't know why he is that way but he is. If you are asking if we have worries about my brother molesting anybody. The answer is no. Not in a million years.
I agree that this could be part of the reason but what about men who grow up with strong, masculin, loving fathers?
Don't know how much that fits. He had brothers. He was close to our Dad. Had male friends when little. Went to an all boys school til 6th grade. No abuse. But when in middle school he made friends with girls easier than guys. Used to try to figure it out but I don't know why he's gay, he just is. But my wife comes from a large family, I come from a large family - you get all kinds. But they are all family.
Gay ducks = chickenhawks.
That is a good thing, right?
