There are several instances where gay/lesbian parents have raised children who grew up to be straight.

Thank goodness the Log Cabin boys from the Publican side have finally had ENOUGH of bush and his super right wing Christian crap..... Using the Constitution to TAKE AWAY RIGHTS is just too much even for the gay group within the party...it's about time.... they are mounting a substantial TV ad campaign AGAINST Bush and his marriage stand CC

That's sick...but Bush continues the lies in this regard.... BUSH ALLOWS GAYS TO BE FIRED FOR BEING GAY Despite President Bush's pledge that homosexuals "ought to have the same rights" (1) as all other people, his Administration this week ruled that homosexuals can now be fired from the federal workforce because of their sexual orientation. According to the Federal Times, the president's appointee at the Office of Special Counsel ruled that federal employees will now "have no recourse if they are fired or demoted simply for being gay." (2) While the Bush Administration says it is legally prohibited from firing a person for their conduct, they have the legal right to fire or demote someone based on their sexual orientation. To carry out the directive, the White House has begun removing information from government websites about sexual orientation discrimination in the workplace. (3) Not only does the new directive contradict the president's own promise to treat homosexuals as equals under the law, but it also contradicts what the Administration told Congress. As noted in a bipartisan letter from four Senators to the Administration, "During the confirmation process [of the president's appointee], you assured us that you were committed to protecting federal employees against unlawful discrimination related to their sexual orientation."

" There's no way a young boy will be attracted to that alternative lifestyle no matter how appealing they try to make it. Isn't that right, ET?" What characteristic of homosexual lifestyle do you think would be appealing to a young boy and how do they make it seem appealing? I gather you think its a choice....let me ask you the question I have asked many times..... If it's a choice, when did you make your choice? How conflicted were you at the time???
