So what about parents who play the guilt game by blaming one another for their child being gay?
"You babied him too much," the father says.
"You never played sports with him," the mother says.
"You got her involved in too many sports," the mother says.
"Well, you are such a feminist, this is what you did to her," the father says.
It goes on and on.
Is it necessary? Is it stereotypical? Is it part of that nature and nurture theory?
Maybe it's just part of the parental pathway to realization and acceptance.
Why does a gay child have to feel guilty? why do the parents have to feel guilty?
It's all so ridiculous.
Do you agonize or argue over the other genetic attributes of your child?
We should not cast a shadow on our children or ourselves. If we do, then we have something to be guilty about.
