Re: Completely Confused
oh goodness. it's odd isn't it the way we can accept someone has inherited their hair colour, their diabetes, the shape of their nose, their alcoholism, the length of their legs, their kind disposition, the facial tic, their ability with numbers, and on and on and on and yet when it comes to gay - it must have been the tooth fairy.
I know my ex-gidh was 'like father like son'. I don't think it's axiomatic - gay child, gay parent. But when it is not from a parent then look to the grandparents.
I believe that if you are the sort of person that has an honest nature then, gay or straight, it helps to know the truth of your parentage. And one honest parent is enough.
