Nice.

Humouriously pointing out the hypocracy and plain sillyness of the anti-gay crowd.

Onion serves it up again.

Hormones... hormones... hormones... I have learned after teaching middle school for.... well a long time that kids are confused because of those hormones. It wasn't more as clear to me until I was pregnant (as an adult) how those hormones can mess with your mind. Ever since then I am more understanding. I am not ruling out his question of who he is, or what he believes, but it is a growing time. And, he should should have time and space to choose what he wants to believe. I do not agree with using a child as a "poster child" for the gay/anti-gay/pro-gay movement because children are children and sexuallity is something that we should explore and develope as we age into adulthood.

Probably true. I'll bet you the kids in K-12 Christian schools have about as much chance as a snowball in July.

I'm a big fan of "The Onion" and love that headline though I was expecting "Gay Teen worried he might be straight" !

How about we promise to push you off a cliff if this ever happens ? Purely as a mark of respect !

And I would be grateful if someone could reciprocate .

And that's exactly what it is: a preference. Don't ANY of you tell me he was born like that. NO! I don't want to hear it. The blood of Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins is against him! He must repent (read)!

I have no idea how old you are but if you're very young you have a miserable life ahead of you. That idea is as obsolete as an A model Ford.
