Or he was rejected by women because he was gay. Most people have an innate gut-sense that tells them not to get involved with certain people, but they don’t know why. Isn’t it possible that he was gay all along and didn’t know it, and he could never have a fruitful relationship because even of the women who didn’t reject him, he couldn’t connect with them romantically/sexually?
Ok, now I’m confused. I like to cook, but don’t do it often. I hate cleaning but usually end up being the one to do it. I never took a shower with my dad so I could gawk at his penis. So, do I get to keep being gay or not?? Dr Dobson, help me!!!
dear worried mom,
if YOU had been doing your job in the first place, this issue would of never come up, as the house would be clean and the food already cooked. shame on you. you are obviously a lezbo.
you must stay as far away from any daughters you may have, as you would turn them into lesbians.
as for your husband, send him to me. i will run him through the soon to-be-patented “beebee de-gayizer course”.
i will send him back as soon as my house is clean, and he will never, ever want to clean again. for a nominal extra charge, my son gives a "leaving the toilet seat up " seminar, as well as his book “1005 reasons why i can’t do anything right now: a guide to perfect procrastination”

But it isn’t absurd logic because more penises = more gay. It’s absurd because the idea of doing things to make someone more or less gay is absurd.

Right, that’s what makes the joke funny. If you accept the (stupid) premise that sexuality can be influenced by how many penises you see at a young age, logic would seem to dictate* that seeing more penises would make you more likely to be gay, and not the other way around. The point being that Dobson is so dumb, he even screws up being an idiot.
As for the OP, it appears that my dad is gay. Which is surprising, but not nearly as surprising as the revelation that both me and my boyfriend are straight.

Then logically, boys should shower/bath with their mothers and girls with their fathers.

I’m not sure I agree with this. I had a friend years ago who lived much of his adult life being rejected by woman and eventually sought comfort and companionship in the gay community.
What about Anne Heche?
In the messed up society we have it’s hard to tell how much environment and societal pressures play a role but I think that someone who might otherwise be straight can be emotionally wounded by the opposite gender to such an extent that they seek comfort, emotional support and sex from the same gender.
I think the two extremes of “being gay is a choice and something you can be cured of” and “all gay people are born gay” are incorrect.

You make some excellent points. There will always be people whose behavior does not match their sexuality. I’ve met women who “became” lesbians because of sexual trauma, and there have been threads about women who are “four-year queers” during college, then never have another same-sex encounter. (I haven’t met men in similar circumstances.)

I suspect that the letter is a hoax. I recall that Dear Abby or Ann Landers has fallen for such hoaxes before.

Yeah, but will the “1005” ways book actually have any content? Great post, by the way.
