For certain people in certain times, it must be really confronting to have a gay child. And maybe some of the negative feelings they have are of fear for you, knowing things won't be easy - unfortunately they aren't making it any easier themselves.<br /><br />I hope your family has come around (I guess yes from your brother's comment) and that the crappy stuff is all behind you.Kathryn Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09594997876575269289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907869562100366569.post-58603920124598921212011-02-03T15:21:57.632-08:002011-02-03T15:21:57.632-08:00Your story hit such a chord with me.

Why else would a little girl be so interested in naked ladies, Mom? Nothing can shame the gay of out someone. I know that it's not my problem, it's THEIRS, but... that is so much easier to say than to really believe, you know? I hope that one day I can be as accepting of myself as you are ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907869562100366569.post-82650137225714562252011-02-02T17:56:47.949-08:002011-02-02T17:56:47.949-08:00Lenny,

Thank you for being there! I'm not sure our parents knew what to do with two sons who didn't quite fit the mold of the time. But in the end we showed what it is to be a true man in our family. For that, we should feel much pride! <br /><br />And thanks for the wonderful flashback of the carpenter who graced our lives during the summer of '69. The smell of wood shavings still bring a smile to my face! <br /><br />Love you,<br />BobUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05523345832376600337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907869562100366569.post-9573142991903579272011-01-31T00:57:08.992-08:002011-01-31T00:57:08.992-08:00Marty, I think you're right!

Unless you were gifted enough back then to really become Honey West, how could they know who (or what) you were trying to be.<br /><br />I don't your Mom ever looked at you with disgust. I think she was a lot like mine in that regard. Confused, maybe, disgust, no.martynoreply@blogger.com
