How sad if you had a gay child.

Whether my child is gay, a serial killer, a bank robber, or a grade A student, I would love him/her as much as any parent could love a child. Like I said, a parent's love is undeniable.

An old friend of mine is now the Guidance Counselor at our old highschool. (Sorry, I don't have a URL for this story) One day a grade 8 student approached him saying that he thought he was gay because he preferred being with the boys. My old friend's response to this youngster was that either alternative was acceptable and encouraged the boy to explore both orientations so that he may eventually choose which he prefers.

My problem is not in the acceptance of gays, it is in promoting the lifestyle as a healthy alternative. Especially to young children who are vulnerable as they attain their adolescence.
