When the uncle of a friend of mine came out as gay years ago, his parents, both very devout Catholics were initially quite upset. Eventually, all of his other siblings wound up getting divorced, and he and his partner have been together twenty-five years and counting, and so now, his parents are all "well, we at least brought you up right".

Awh, how special...

Something to think about, thats for sure! I had two sets of acquaintances in CA; both gay women, both in long term commited relationships. One couple adopted kids with special needs (mostly deaf). These kids were so smart! All the kids in the family signed and many spoke as well. The other couple were both highly respected nurses; one of them was inseminated by the same biological father. Brothers and grandparents served as the role models. The nurses were pretty well accepted by the area in which we lived, sort of a suburban conservative SO CAL area. They flew the American Flag. They were good people and excellent nurses.
