That is it exactly. Bless his heart. I almost didn’t click on the article.
Unfortunately, there is no way to confirm this was written be someone who is homosexual.
Whoever wrote this will now become a target of the ever tolerant folks who will NOT tolerate intolerant speech. Or something. Ref: NY gay hotel owners. Ref: Backlash against Bruce(Brianna) Jenner stating he/she is a conservative republicrat.
In years past, many gays and lesbians entered into heterosexual marriages because it was the thing to do. They had children who did benefit from a mother and a father. I wonder if gays and lesbians would consider heterosexual marriages to complete themselves. Children do deserve a mother AND a father. And most children who have come out of unions where one spouse was gay/lesbian are adults with heterosexual desires. I don’t know the answer for people like this man, but the weight of the argument should always skew to ‘doing what’s right for the kids’. Period.
RE: Unfortunately, there is no way to confirm this was written be someone who is homosexual.
OK, what does it take to “prove” that one is homosexual?
Good article and gets right to the point of why marriage exists as the family support function for raising the next generation. Both roles are necessary and it is selfish hubris to expect that anything other than that can be successful.
Bkmrk.
That's what I was thinking too as I read it but I see the author was writing under a pseudonym. Probably a very wise move on his part.
That's obviously not true, or you could be one by the natural process.
If he really wants to be a father more than anything else, he needs to find a nice woman, settle down, and make babies.
Can you say “wikileaks”? Somebody will let the cat out of the bag.
Interesting.
If the editor of the publication the article first appeared in is ethical — I make no such assumption, mind you — the author indeed is homosexual. When media publish anonymous essays, they are supposed to vet the authors to ensure that what they are revealing about themselves is accurate.
I have no problem with his staying single. Just as no one has a “right” to marry, no one has an obligation to marry.
So to answer your question, he must be brave enough to stand up against the Gaystapo by using his real name. Only then can it be proven these really are the words of a gay man. Otherwise, the argument can be made that they are not the words of a gay man, and there is no way to refute that argument.
I honestly hope these are the words of a gay man, but I am left with uncertainty that they are.
Wow.
They should have included that in the form of an editor’s note. But then how could the editor know for certain that the person was indeed gay unless the editor has known the person for awhile, and has seen the person in a homosexual relationship.
Suppose you did know the name of the author. How, then do you propose to go about proving that he is gay? You cannot tell sexual orientation by someone’s name. Even if you knew the author’s real name, you still need to trust that the author is being genuine about his sexual preference.
I certainly can understand why he’d want to remain anonymous, and I find it difficult to believe that you wouldn’t sympathize with that desire as well.
