- This paragraph is not consistent with your first sentence. You are
- right that if one of your kids turns out gay, that's the way it will be.
- What would you then have him/her do - pretend/act like it's not true? I
- assume you want your kids to be true to themselves...
- And, btw, ask almost any gay person whether accepting themselves for
- what they intrinsically are was an "easy way out".
