> You don’t get that gay families are JUST EXACTLY LIKE straight families. I would really appreciate not hearing another word from people who think this is a gay issue. This is a family issue. A teenager issue. A cultural (i.e., Hallmark issue), and maybe other issues. But it is not about two lesbians with a teenage son. If that seems strange to you, it’s because you’re naive and inexperienced, and possibly just a little bit bigoted.

Well maybe you should put yourself in his shoes. Does he have a Dad? I’m sorry but your 2 women, like it or not and you look at the world as women.

Sorry to burst your gay bubble but your shoving alot of gay propaganda down the kids throat. The kid is probably confused but still loves you and hates to hurt your feelings by telling you the truth.

Please, step outside your gay circle and put yourself in his shoes.
