The more screwed up their childhood was the more likely they are to be screwed up as adults. Go figure.

How screwed up would your childhood be with parents like this?

46% of all statistics are made up!

What the hell does this all mean?

Don't die or get divorced, your kids will be gay!

Homosexuality in a rational society would be classified as a mental disorder. And up until the 1970s, it was. A genetic explanation can be ruled out on evolutionary grounds.

Yes, homosexuality occasionally happens in animals, but 1) humans are animals too (though we aren't merely animals) and 2) homosexuality isn't normal for animals either.

Secondly, just because someone has a mental disorder doesn't imply they should have no rights-- it only implies homosexuals aren't normal people. If narcissism and things like "conduct disorder" are considered mental illness, then I see no reason to exclude sexual confusion from the list.

Who would have thought Yoda was female? Strange, this revelation is. Meditate on this I will not. LOL!

"Don't die or get divorced, your kids will be gay!"

It's possible. ;)

The possibilities are endless.

What if I die, then get divorced?

Do the odds go up?

I worked as a Flight Attendant at TWA and I knew more gay men than most people ever will. I can't recall any that had a "normal" upbringing and very few that didn't have an incident of molestation in their past.
My best friend while I worked there was ....um....a bit flamboyant so to speak and he recalled an incident with an overly affectionate(to sugar coat it a bit) "boys group" leader on a camping trip. ( It's not the group you are probably thinking of.) I have also observed that most of them had domineering mothers and passive fathers if they had them at all.

You're absolutely right but these days common sense is not appreciated and is in very short supply, especially on DU.

I did take a quick look at DU. I noticed they aren't talking about this one yet. Maybe they don't want to know the truth: living a homosexual lifestyle is dangerous to themselves and their children.

I've known an equal ratio between overly permissive parents, and gays who were beat down by strict fathers. Those guys couldn't act out whatsoever growing up, so they clung to their mothers and turned into fairies. It's a strong cause of feminizing your own kid, I believe.

The sad part is those dads look back and think they weren't hard enough on the kids.... I wanted to tell this one man I knew, "No wonder your son's a mess, he's afraid to even talk to you..."

What is it with those mothers who think Liberace is the ideal mold for their son?

Do they not have any clue, or perhaps they just don't care for their kid's sexual health and future?
