Wow! Thank god straight people never divorce, molest children or expose their kids to porn and nudity!
I assume what this woman says may be true, but frankly, I think she's a religious plant, making it all up in an attempt to prove her point. As one mom in a two mom family with male and female gay parent friends, who has spent many years in so-called "gay culture," I've never seen or heard of this happening in any of our households. Everyone I know is monogomous, loves and cares for their kids as much as anyone and has kids that are happy and come first in their lives. We're providing very safe and very healthy homes. Is it possible that some children grow up like this woman says she did? I guess anything is possible, but much of her story sounds like a farse to me.
I can't remember all of her article as I'm writing and I don't want to go through it and dispute her word for word, but for one thing. "Homosexual" by definition means preferring an adult of the same sex. If she was a girl molested by friends of her father, they would be called pedophiles (who have a sexual preference for children, of the OPPOSITE sex apparently) not men who prefered men and therefore "homosexual". Also, she talks about being exposed to gay nudity? What is that? How does it differ from other forms of nudity? I guess it's more traumatizing if your gay dad walks around the house naked than if your straight dad does it? I don't even know what that means! And who lets a little girl into a gay bath house anyway? It sounds like she is looking into the worst of homosexuality, which has nothing at all to do with the vast majority gays and lesbians, and claiming it as her childhood.
I'm sure if we wanted to compare and contrast straight households with same-sex households, we'd find a whole lot of really bad straight parents and a whole lot of really fabulous gay parents thrown into the mix. Sexuality and parenting are two different things. My brain can't even process both things at the same time. Having two moms or a mom and a dad does not in itself make for positive or negative family life. Having adopted through fostercare, I know that there are a lot of kids in our country who are much better served not living in a straight household where they really did get abused and exposed to immoral behavior.
