Between 1973 and 1990, when my beloved mother passed away, she and her female romantic partner raised me. They had separate houses but spent nearly all their weekends together, with me, in a trailer tucked discreetly in an RV park 50 minutes away from the town where we lived. As the youngest of my mother’s biological children, I was the only child who experienced childhood without my father being around.
After my mother’s partner’s children had left for college, she moved into our house in town. I lived with both of them for the brief time before my mother died at the age of 53. I was 19. In other words, I was the only child who experienced life under “gay parenting” as that term is understood today.
Quite simply, growing up with gay parents was very difficult, and not because of prejudice from neighbors. People in our community didn’t really know what was going on in the house. To most outside observers, I was a well-raised, high-achieving child, finishing high school with straight A's.
Inside, however, I was confused. When your home life is so drastically different from everyone around you, in a fundamental way striking at basic physical relations, you grow up weird. I have no mental health disorders or biological conditions. I just grew up in a house so unusual that I was destined to exist as a social outcast.

Here’s my $.02.
If one is born homosexual, then where is the test to prove it? There’s a test for Down’s, etc. Let’s just suppose - just suppose - that one is born that way. Would the left be ok with abortion of a homosexual baby?
If one is NOT born homosexual, and it is choice, then what is the “trigger” that causes one to choose homosexuality?
Very simple questions, that should be able to be proven one way or another.
/I have a homosexual family member, and I just wonder, why? Why is he homosexual? What makes him want sexual relations with another man? It just doesn’t make any sense.
I think that the left would be very conflicted if a pre-natal test for homosexuality precipitated an abortion.
On the other hand, they don’t seem to have a problem with China and India aborting entire generations of FEMALE Babies, so who knows?
It really saddens me to see how children are used as props in their war against sexual morality, not only their own hapless children but our own chilren as well because they want our children’s minds, the younger the better.
