Sex is something a person has, it is not who they are. This entire problem with sexuality as identity should be understood as a mental illness.

Well said. I fail to understand how any 'normal' person can define his/her entire being - based on sexual attraction.

I'm an engineer, a dependable friend, a supportive person, active in my church, I give to charity, I volunteer to help out those less fortunate, I love my family, I help my neighbors, I will defend the helpless and I like members of the opposite sex, I love animals (especially dogs), I'm a hunter, I can take or leave fishing. But, my sexual preference has no place in defining "Who" I am.

A brief and yet brilliant summary of the situation.

His son needs help, not abandonment.
