If Your Child Is Gay. Steven F Kindle

was there. But what I soon discovered was the promiscuity of my straight peers was its equal, and that the gay community as a whole was no different from any other. They were also forming families, raising children, going to church, and leading very indistinguishable lives. In fact, being gay is so ordinary that most gays are not identifiable without self-labeling. You are living among many of them and you don’t even know it. This may possibly even include your own child.

      If you take the step to inform yourself by going to gay community centers or PFLAG meetings, for instance, you will see what I mean. If there is an Open and Affirming church in your community, that’s a great place to begin. Once, African Americans were considered inferior, and were not allowed to marry whites in some states (up to 1964!). Now one is the president of the United States. We were able to see this remarkable transition unfold in a lifetime because whites got to know blacks and the stereotypes were debunked. The more we get to know our gay and lesbian neighbors, the quicker we will move as a society away from their crude and highly misleading stereotypes.

      So, your child is normal. Well, kind of, and in an OK kind of way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vjXUjH5IdCI
