[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the PP that posted about the DD being gay and not the son that DB worried about, well not worried exactly, but didnt want playing with girly things.
[b]There is nothing you can do about your kid being gay, if they are gay they are gay, thats the way it is.[/b] You can either support them or ostracize them.

What I laugh about is the irony, so many Dads dont want their boys being perceived as girly or feminine, The boys grow up to be straight and then the sisters are gay.
I am gay and my Dad was the same.
Apparently when we were little my brother wanted to push my stroller and doll around. My Dad didnt like this so brought my brother a wheelbarrow to push around.
My brother is straight and im gay...................irony.

PP, I don't mean to belittle your experiences nor those of the charges you have cared for but PLEASE do not continue to perpetuate the stereotype that sexual orientation IN ANY WAY has anything to do with performing (or not) the acts of your assigned gender. People are gay or straight regardless of they toys they are encouraged or discouraged to play with, the orientation of the people raising them, ect.  Your argument that daughters of homophobic dads turn out gay more often than sons is just as offensive as the argument of the DB in question.  
[b]Sexual orientation is innate, and is minimally affected by childhood experiences.[/b]  You, as a queer person yourself, should know better. [/quote]

You two are agreeing.  Note the bolded text - you are saying the same thing.[/quote]

I can read, I know we had the same essential point.  I was disagreeing with the section below that. The fact that PP's father did not want her brother to play with a stroller, or that her charges father did not want his son playing with dolls, has nothing to do with any of the sexual orientations that resulted. She seemed to be implying that there was some correlation, I was pointing out the danger in this thinking as well.

Try reading past the buzz words. [/quote]
