OK, what does it take to “prove” that one is homosexual?
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.
Doug Manwaring is a long time writer and editor who got divorced from his wife because he didn’t want to live in the same house as his son, whom he admittedly started experiencing same-gender attraction for. He admitted as much. Doug Manwaring is very much attracted to the same gender.
I had the same thought. However, I did have a similar conversation recently with a gay person. He believes that extreme gay activism will in the long run do more harm than good because it is creating deep resentment among traditionalist Americans. He thinks gay people should continue to debate and make their case over time, not by judicial fiat a là Roe v. Wade, which has never settled down because it was imposed, not embraced by a majority. I have to admire his reasoning.
Sadly, however, I think what will happen now is the worst case: gay marriage will be imposed, and generations of children will be harmed by all its ramifications before a critical mass can rise up to name and shame its harms without being punished for stating their truth. It may take a century to resolve.
The real problem with gay marriage is not who GLBTs cohabit with, but gay parenting and today's fascist environment where nothing negative may be said about gay parenting without severe retaliation. Children are stressed merely by being adopted or turkey-basted into an extreme social minority, over and above the parents' homosexual ideology. Only after outcomes have been tracked and for a period of decades will legislators, judges and social workers be able to protect children from harm instead of having to bow to political correctness when the "parents" are GLBTs.
Just as support for pro-life position has only recently reached more than 50% since government forced it down society's throats in 1974, social disapproval of gay parenting may take until 2050 or so to tip the legal scales back.
I have an uncle in his 70s that is gay. He’s been with his “partner for over 45 years and neither has any interest in “gay marriage.”
