- Even Richard Dawkins tweeted it would be immoral to have a child who would suffer because of his genetics. I’m sure we’re on solid ground here.
Everyone’s doing it; the doctor said there is little risk to the fetus, and better safe than sorry, right?
...Well, got the blood work results, and there’s good news and bad news.
Bad news: He’s gay.
I didn’t even know there was a blood test for that now, but I guess it’s new?
They found the genes that cause homosexuality and they test for them now.
I’m a really tolerant person, but this has made me think hard.
I don’t know how I feel about trying to raise a gay son.
Will I be able to relate to him?
Won’t his life be super hard?
I know things are getting better for gay people, but it seems to me that being gay is really hard in the South, where we live.
...This really started to weigh on my mind, so I did some research.
Suicide attempts are significantly higher among gay teens—five times more likely.
...Another study found that any kind of victimization at school leads to much higher risks of substance abuse.
...What kind of life will my gay son have?
...When we got there, we found that someone had firebombed our rented townhouse and wrote “Bigotry Doesn’t Belong Here!” and “Love Wins!” in spray paint on the sidewalk.
I guess some fetuses are more equal than others, but I can’t understand it.
I just followed all the arguments I’ve heard from our society to their logical conclusions."
Read all...true or vision of future?
