Notice the ‘extra narrowly definitions people use to work homosexuality into acceptance. My brother is gay BUT....My uncle is gay BUT... My teacher is gay BUT...They think just like I do!!

No they don’t. But instead of doing what is right and recognizing it for what it is, they each legitimize it in a small way that adds up across the board...and we come to today.

Mrs WBill has a number of gay friends. They're around the same age as me, namely, 'middle-aged'. Nothing really unique or special about any of them. Occasionally, we make small talk at get-togthers and, other than the fact that I have *nothing* in common with them, they're pretty decent folks.

One morning, a few weeks ago, Mrs WBill mentioned in passing that gay friend 'A' has a new therapist (the psych kind). Friend thinks the therapist is pretty cute. I said 'Uh-huh', with about as much thought and acknowledgment as a husband gives a wife on a point of trivial nonsense at 7 am.

Some time later, she mentioned in passing that gay friend 'B' can't attend some get-together because it conflicts with a therapy (the psych kind) appointment. "mmm-hmmm", I replied, didn't give it 5 sec of consideration.

Last week, she mentioned that gay friend 'C' has a new therapist (the psych kind) too. "Yeah - wait a minute.", I said, "Didn't you tell me that 'A' and 'B' have new therapists, too? Are all these guys in some sort of group thing, or something?"

"No, no, no.", she replied, " 'A' is in New York. 'B' is in South Carolina. 'C' is in Atlanta."

"Hunh.", I replied. "Are All of your gay friends in therapy?"

She thought about it. "Yeah, pretty much."

If that's not indicative of something being wrong with a lifestyle, I dunno what is.
