I'm still inclined to think that regardless of the general acceptance around the individual, there would have to be some major love and focused identity creation in ways that do not center around the child's sexual identity in order for him/her to bipass that the child is developmentally different than his/her peers. I think it would still be difficult for a homosexual to not have a risk of having mental instability of some sort. Surrounded by guys who mostly act one way and think one way about girls and girls who act one way and think one way about guys, while the child....well, thinks/feels his/her way. Its an obvious developmental obstacle that would be very hard to detour around and deimphasize in the child's mind while everyone around them are getting into relationships and relating to each other concerning and through their relationships. I know I don't live there, but I would love to see what type of social environment that they have in order to analyze the possibilities and validity of their studies. Interesting about the gay Hitler. I might have to look that up.

Which is why I think we should look for a cure.
I may have made up the gay hitler remark about Pim Fortuyn, I'm not sure. Though I wouldn't be surprised if he was referred to as that.

Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
