What does your sentimental, highly personal post have to do with Milo Y. and his foolish, loose-lipped videos?
I swear, the naivete about gays on FR has gotten my goat for 10 years...at least.
My post had everything to do with men who are so stiff and mean that they have no compassion, not even for their own children, not even sensitive baby boys who naturally cry when hurt. Perhaps if Milo or other gay men had better relationships with their own fathers, they might not turn gay to begin with. But certain types of men, often warrior types, damage their own sons who, they believe, challenge their masculinity or are rivals for their wives affections.
All very complex, and in response to humble gunner’s gruff post. I lived through that with my own husband, a distinguished war hero, devoted republican, who damaged his own son beyond repair, called him a failure every time the kid turned around, and created, guess what….a son doomed to failure. Not my son, btw. Kid was a grownup when I married his dad.
