Thumbnail psychic sketch:
Coach Dad was rarely home because of his heavy practice and game schedule. Son became alienated at a very early age, is more sensitive and stubborn than sis and began to identify with his mother. He seeks men to fill the void felt from the missing father/son void.
Sister is just a tad smarter and more compliant than her brother and recognized early that the best way to get and keep daddy’s attention was to emulate him by playing sports.
Wonder what type of interactions Uncle Gay had with them when they were young?
Someone ought to rename the Bay State the Gay State. It just seems more appropriate.
Yes, let's all celebrate neurosis.
Right. But now they can get married (to each other because it is OK as it is a Gay Marriage)
I think that would have a profound effect on my will if I were one of the parents.
There is a whole lot of rationalization going on here!
A sad business. Of course you would not repudiate your children because this happened, but it would never be something to celebrate. And I can’t imagine agreeing to boast about it to a newspaper reporter.
Maybe it was the parents’ fault; maybe it was the school or the society we live in; maybe it was just one of those things that sometimes happens when kids do their own thing. But it’s a sad business. No grandchildren, no future.
I was in high school 1959 - 1963 and am trying to imagine what would have happened if any student announced that they were homosexual.
They probably would have been ridiculed on a regular basis and beaten on a semi regular basis. I am not saying that’s right but I do believe it would have happened.
I am zipping my mouth here. As a fairly new member, I don’t want to get in trouble for posting my immediate reaction to your reply.
Nuryev is certainly not gay.
There's other situations that might challenge you I guess.When your daughter tries out for the football team and your son tries on her dress. And you start to think that the Devil's in charge of how your situated. Brother life's not over it's just simply complicated.
Not my hometown paper, but my current-residence (for more than ten years) paper. I wasn’t home when the mail came and this wonderful page 1 article sat on the counter for hours for my children to see before I got home.
Why am I surprised? (I am not really.) I remember a few years ago seeing an “Arlington celebrates diversity” piece about a woman who was head-over-heels in love with another woman. She had been married (to a man) with children and was happy enough. Then her female boss approached her and wanted to know whether she would be open to playing on the other team. The married mother gave it some thought and decided that she would, so the boss moved in with the woman and her husband to give all the children a chance to adjust to the new two-mommy situation. Of course, the husband was very supportive throughout and gracefully exited after a decent interval.
I tried to imagine what reaction the Advocate would get if it ran a story about a happy married mom whose male boss hit and her and caused her to break up her marriage.
Do you remember a few years ago when a school committee member told the AHS graduating class that now they had twice as many potential marriage partners to choose from? That one puzzled me: if orientation is fixed at birth, what possible effect would the gay-marriage law have on the options of heteros?
They probably would have been ridiculed on a regular basis and beaten on a semi regular basis. I am not saying that’s right but I do believe it would have happened.
I recall they were. Back then, "Queer" was not a "good" word. I agree that it was wrong of people to attack them, and we can get into the old standard parroting of "They must have been subliminally queer themselves, to feel so threatened by one."
I never hated them..Just thought they were silly and funny and..well..wrong.
Next on Springer
that was supposed to be “hit on her”
If both kids had 3 arms and bagel ears, 1 leg longer than the other, an IQ of 50 and a habit of eating fresh roadkill,, they’d still love them.
But being “gay” makes it easier to pretend things are normal.
Somewhere along the line I’ve stopped believing this BS. I simply am not capable of believing that anybody “discovers they are gay” at age 14; I have a much easier time believing that kids are being recruited.
Typical emotional attitude. I wouldn't have been voting on how much her children were worth. I would have been voting on SOCIETY'S worth. I want a stable, growing society bound by laws and morality. A society doesn't have stability without stable families, and those are families with a father AND mother present in the home raising children to be good and moral people. There are some homes where there is only a father or a mother raising children, but to do so successfully, the kids need role models of the opposite gender of their parent in order to provide balance in their upbringing.
Homosexual couples don't provide that balance, even is one does act more 'male' and one more 'female'. Odd how that seems to happen in most homosexual relationships, isn't it?
“Interesting. I wonder how much time the Uncle had with his nephew.”
Bingo! These emotionally charged articles are enough to gag a maggot. It’s all about their individual narcissistic selfish “feelings”, which will change from day to day, and will never fulfill these two. Selfishness is never fulfilling, ever. It leaves you empty, bitter, and lonely.
