Um, that’s utter horsesh!t. Did you convince yourself of that?
My dad was absent for large parts of the year due to his work as I a child growing up. It never lent me to any gay leanings.
On the other hand, two homosexual people that I know personally have married parents who were home everyday and had traditional nuclear family up-bringing. One was a girl who I dated and wanted to seriously marry growing up. She finally had to say something resulting in extreme disappointment for me and her family. She and I are very close friends to this day and I still love her. Always will. But her brain and desires are for other women, not men. I can’t change that and she’s happy the way she is. I have to be happy for her. Her parents and I are still as tight as ever. Call it what you want, but, abuse what never part of the equation.
In the anecdote that you give, how do you know that abuse of some kind, at some age, by some family friend or relative, was not present? Please don’t simply blast me for pointing this out.. Many things go on in families behind closed doors that no one but the actual participants know about.
I think where you may feel a conflict in your personal experience with the lesbian versus what Travis is saying in is thread, is that this thread is about homosexuals who prey on boys and the effect it has on those boys.
Grooming is when homosexual child predators approach boys sexually to see if they would make good victims. They violate the taboo against homosexual adults interacting mentally and physically in a sexual way with boys. Sandusky’s grand jury report explains his methodology very well and it is the pattern commonly used by homo predators on boys. He did not pick on “girly” boys. He approached boys sexually and the boys who had the instinct to get away from him and the inner strenght to resist his efforts to dominate them were left alone. Those who acted like deer caught in the headlights, were dominated and raped.
After a boy is raped there is a continous process of manipulating and traumatizing him by the predator. Men who are abused as boys often suffer depression, sexual idenity issues, anger issues, shame and guilt issues... There is a high rate of homosexuals who were abused as boys and there is a high rate of suicide among young homoseuxal males. These tragedies are related.
Ask yourself why the “activists” are going after the children to exceed the taboos against interacting with boys sexually - groom them for homosexuality and dictate how they must interact with homo aggression so that they are not evil haters, bullies and homophobes. They are socializing boys to be deer caught in the headlights when they are confronted by homo aggression.
You are entering into a on-going conversation about homosexual boy rape and telling Travis, a man who is paying attention, to shut up because you know two homos so you are the expert on boy child abuse. Take this chance to find out about this problem and HELP!!!! One in six boys are molested - twice the rate of girls. Consider this in light of the fact that many more boys and girls never tell the truth about what happened to them.
