A different perspective from a guy raised in a Lesbian household.

No, this can’t be true. From what we’re told children of queer “parents” are just as normal as can be. He must be “confused”...

From the article:

“I thank Mark Regnerus. Far from being “bullshit,” his work is affirming to me, because it acknowledges what the gay activist movement has sought laboriously to erase, or at least ignore. Whether homosexuality is chosen or inbred, whether gay marriage gets legalized or not, being strange is hard; it takes a mental toll, makes it harder to find friends, interferes with professional growth, and sometimes leads one down a sodden path to self-medication in the form of alcoholism, drugs, gambling, antisocial behavior, and irresponsible sex.”

Interesting.

Like gay mortality data, one rarely sees clear, unbiased stories and data about gay households.

My best evidence is my own observations - of the danger and damage of the “gay lifestyle” and my own observations of children I know “parented” by gay men and women. If you imagine that 2 lesbians raising kids is screwed up, you should see the result of 2 gay men raising kids....

After reading this article, I have no trouble believing that if this gentleman were raised in a home with a father and mother who loved each other, had a normal family life, had decent dates in high school, and grew up a typical boy, he would not be at all confused about his current sexuality, and would be a happily married man with a wife and children.

Just my humble opinion based on what I read.

He wasn’t “born that way.”

Interesting article, thanks.

Truly, actions have consequences.

The author's mother, having *chosen* to live with a "partner", turned the author into an embittered, broken man.

In reading between the lines, it sounds like if she had raised the author as a single parent, the author would have had many of the same issues. But, it's hard to tell, and anyone can "what if" themselves to death.

Bottom line, as a parent, your #1 responsibility is to your child, not to yourself.

I don’t know if I could have handled two Jewish mothers.

Probably would have ended up goth or something...

Growing Up With Two Moms: The Untold Children’s View When your home life is so drastically different from everyone around you, in a fundamental way striking at basic physical relations, you grow up weird. I have no mental health disorders or biological conditions. I just grew up in a house so unusual that I was destined to exist as a social outcast.

wait, should we believe him, who lived it, or 'Experts' who do not.

My dad said that an Expert is a 'has been (Ex) drip (pert)' or an expert is someone miles away who tell you what you want to hear!

I hope he recovered!

The raging fang-toothed man-hating feminazis are going to pounce on this.

One of our friends of the family was a former gay stripper who is now a heterosexual and married.

Gays SCORN people like that.

I remember watching Patrick Macnee, the actor from the Avengers, on Larry King Live several years ago. He was raised by a lesbian mother and her “partner”, which he mentioned to Larry King. King then said, “And you turned out OK.” Macnee corrected him and replied, “No, I didn’t.” He went on to explain how he became an alcoholic, and had trouble with relationships with women. I think he had been married 3 times at that time. He blamed these things on his confusion about being raised with 2 “mommies”.

Did this man ever think of how his father must have lived?

His father who lived with a woman who had sex with him as an act she carried on because she had to cover her trail,and not because she enjoyed it.His mother who took advantage of his father and his paycheck, but was never really in love with him.She slept with him and lived with him in a farce of love.She used him.
Does he ever wonder if his mother ever felt punished by having a male child? Did she use him, like she used his father, and raised him because she had to and not love?

How can a woman sleep with a man, profess love for him and go out and perform cunnilingus on the woman she really wants to be with.If she were honest she would have left his father and moved out before he was even conceived.

RE: My peers learned all the unwritten rules of decorum and body language in their homes; they understood what was appropriate to say in certain settings and what wasn’t; they learned both traditionally masculine and traditionally feminine social mechanisms.
Even if my peers’ parents were divorced, and many of them were, they still grew up seeing male and female social models. They learned, typically, how to be bold and unflinching from male figures and how to write thank-you cards and be sensitive from female figures. These are stereotypes, of course, but stereotypes come in handy when you inevitably leave the safety of your lesbian mom’s trailer and have to work and survive in a world where everybody thinks in stereotypical terms, even gays.
I had no male figure at all to follow, and my mother and her partner were both unlike traditional fathers or traditional mothers. As a result, I had very few recognizable social cues to offer potential male or female friends, since I was neither confident nor sensitive to others. Thus I befriended people rarely and alienated others easily. Gay people who grew up in straight parents’ households may have struggled with their sexual orientation; but when it came to the vast social universe of adaptations not dealing with sexuality—how to act, how to speak, how to behave—they had the advantage of learning at home. Many gays don’t realize what a blessing it was to be reared in a traditional home.
........
It was not until I was twenty-eight that I suddenly found myself in a relationship with a woman, through coincidences that shocked everyone who knew me and surprised even myself. I call myself bisexual because it would take several novels to explain how I ended up “straight” after almost thirty years as a gay man. I don’t feel like dealing with gay activists skewering me the way they go on search-and-destroy missions against ex-gays, “closet cases,” or "homocons."

This man's story will be buried for sure. A boy raised by two lesbo wimmin, that is a design for disaster. If one 'single' mom doesnt work, give him two.
