MCGREEVY :"I am a gay American with my hand up a puppet's behind."

LOS ANGELES -- As society has become more accepting of homosexuality, psychologists are seeing more and more people who have been in traditional, heterosexual marriages coming out as gay. In some cases, the gay person has children from those marriages.
NBC4's Kelly Mack looked into the best ways to tell your children that you are gay.
Following is a verbatim script from the on-air report.
KELLY MACK: Aimee Wilson, 30, and Connie Miller, 45, are committed partners. They share a home in Long Beach and plan on spending their lives together. To get to this point was a struggle, though, particularly for Connie.
Connie Miller grew up in the Mennonite faith. All of her relatives were Amish.
CONNIE MILLER: I did grow up in a small community with a conservative religious background and it was all about family and the church.
MACK: As was expected, Connie married young to a man with the same religious background, and promptly gave birth to four children. Her youngest son is mentally handicapped.
Her marriage didn't last.
MILLER: For me and my children, being divorced in a religious community is probably the biggest separation that you come up with.
MACK: As Connie shows me photos of her children, she admits that it took her years after her divorce to reconcile herself with being gay. Then she had to tell her children.
MILLER: First I started with my son who is 21 by taking an evening and sitting down and explaining, 'This is who I am. First and foremost, I love you and wanted you in my life more than anything else in this world.'
MACK: Connie's approach was perfect, according to psychologist Webb Edgerton.
WEBB EDGERTON, PSYCHOLOGIST: Take time and a quiet weekend where they can process. Take them out and to a place where if they scream and yell, it's OK. And let them do that.
MACK: Connie was also very conscious of not telling her children too much.
MILLER: Listen to your kids. They're going to be the best judge of how much information they want to know and what they don't want to know.
MACK: And when it came to introducing Aimee to her children, Connie was equally careful.
MILLER: You don't want to introduce just any other adult into a child's life. You have to know that this is someone that does have significant meaning.
MACK: What Connie made sure her kids knew was that, no matter what her sexual orientation, she was their mother forever.
EDGERTON: If you take one thing away from this, you really want to reassure your children that you are their parent and then be their parent.
MACK: Gay or straight, that is good advice for any parent.

"Honey, I love you very much and wanted you more than anything in the world, but I'm a carpet muncher."
Next, "How to tell your children you're into beastiality" and "How to tell your children you're a Democrat."
First, run for office as a Democrat and win... next, get caught doing something particularly corrupt and/or unsavory. Finally, play your get-out-of-jail-free card to the utter surprise and shock of your wife and kids.
Hi, kiddies. I value my own sexual fulfillment more than I value your health and happiness, or the personal integrity involved in keeping my marital vows to your [choose one: mother/father/whatever]. Sh*t happens, and this is just the beginning of yours. I love you, though, just not enough to sacrifice anything for you.
Efficient, accurate -- how hard is that?

Disclaimer, I am not anti-gay, like most here, but I hate the incessant whining, and the way they often use their gayness as an excuse for doing something stupid or wrong.
This was the first mental illness IMO that created a political lobby to change their diagnosis in the Medical world.
"Is everybody happy?"!
How To Tell Your Children That You're Gay... Simple: Tell your children, or anyone for that matter, there's no such thing as right and wrong.
What happens at the zoo, stays at the zoo.
Come on, there are some things a child should just not be exposed to.
Damn, you beat me.
Perfect. (perfectly DISGUSTING!)
Show thwm your AIDS report.
Tell it like it is: "I'm gay and I engage in homosexual sodomy"..
Homosexual Agenda & Moral Absolutes PING. :-/
I don't care how they make this sound so normal. CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY TEENAGERS are not comfortable with homosexuality. They may pretend so as not to disappoint their parents, but they are not alright with it. If you are gay and you believe that your kids are going to be ok with it you are clueless and selfish.
You forgot the most important step: WRITE A BOOK documenting all the glorious details of your sleazy trysts.
You know what I absolutely hate??? Is when these reporters make it out to seem like gays are so much more in tune with their kids, therefore their kids are so much more well adjusted then our poor children. Give me a break, every gay couple I have ever seen with kids are off the hook. Usually one is very butch, which that in and of itself isn't right.

There was a time not so long ago when parents placed the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of their children ahead of their selfish hedonism.
First, buy enough barf bags so that each child has at least two....
As long as it's some new gay creep, and not their actual mother or father they'd like to know.
"Honey, I love you very much and wanted you to understand that I gave your entire college fund to N.O.W., oh, and I'm gay."
I have said it here before, but I remember in the 70's when gays begged only for tolerance and acceptance. Whine, whine, whine. Once they got that, they started demanding equality and even to have their 'lifestyle' celebrated. They are disgusting.
Sure, devastate the kids. Hey - all their friends' parents are divorced, anyway, so they're halfway there to "understanding". It's like the kids have to pacify the adults here ("sure, Mom...it's OK...there, there..."). Parents - do your job and stop whining about your love life to your kids!! Go be a lesbo or a free agent or whatever's bothering you AFTER you've raised your kids!!

Once they get that, they'll be demanding your children.
OK - try this one out:
"Sorry, but I have made a DECISION, although not rooted in genetics, to live an abhorrent lifestyle of sinful sexual gratification with no care for you or your well being. I also don't care about the damage my sick lifestyle will have on those around me, nor the shame that it will bring to the family. I am just admitting that I am a self-serving sick bastard. I am rejecting the Bible, Jesus Christ, and God's standard. I don't know Jesus as my personal Savior, and thus freely accept eternity in Hell."
LOL! You had to pull that out again. I haven't seen that since '04. Awesome!
Oh, yeah, significant meaning. And what would the signficance be? "I prefer this person to the one I chose to be your mom [or dad] because s/he is better at scratching my itches."
How to tell your parents about your short, diseased perverted life followed by an eternity "down under".
The simple answer to these is the same as the answer to the original question:
In your suicide note.
Usually the kids can tell if their father's gay from how he reared them.
Actually, from the looks of that pic, it seems it's the other way around. That's why Jimbo's so darn happy.
How about the children telling their parents there is More Than One Way Out.

I notice that there is no mention of whet her conservative Amish/Mennonite family said, or if they are still in contact with her.
Concerning Governor McGreevey, Rob says he can empathize with his situation. “I think I can relate to him. These (same sex) feelings seemed that they had always been a part of my life.” Now however, Rob sees this issue from a different perspective. “Although I think I understand what he (McGreevey) is saying, I think it is sad for him and his family. What I have now is so much better.”Source: More Than One Way Out.
nice. thats how they should be told. dont lie. admit your completely self absorbed, willing to dissolve a marriage and engage in vile acts for the rest of your days.
"Sweetheart, you don't have to call me "daddy", you can call me "Big Gay Al".
