I've seen too much of that selfishness, where the kids and spouse are dumped and publicly humiliated by a parent who decides their new-found sexuality and publicly displayed desires come first, gay pride comes second, and the kids are lucky if they're a distant 4th or 5th place in that parent's life.

Given a divorce rate exceeding 50 percent, if you remove "new-found sexuality" and "gay pride" in the quote above, I can safely say that many (most? all?) of us have seen this in numbers far greater than the GLBT population. Oh, but they're hetero, so perhaps in the eyes of some, it doesn't figure into this discussion....

Zach Wahls Speaks About Family - YouTube

Thank you, angiefox10, for finding and posting this video. It helps me better understand the feelings of a child of, in this instance, lesbian parents. If only all of our children were as "together" as this young man! A friend once suggested to me the need to create a support group in TV, given the large number she had come across, of mothers and fathers who are alienated from their adult children. Zach Wahls and his mothers might be a positive role model for families like this.

Think the numbers would actually be higher based upon the fact that some have not come out.

Interesting to note that Florida is the state with the second largest number and percentage of population of gays, lesbians, and bisexuals. I had no idea!

Why Can't I Own a Canadian?

As a Canadian, I strongly object to this suggestion even being voiced, let alone considered!!!
