Subject: This whole topic is so gay , was Re: gay adoption Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2004 19:50:06 -0500 To: From: Bob Armstrong I find it interesting that in this PC age when queers have made "queer" a catch title word for TV shows I don't watch , highschool kids have adopted "gay" as a term of derision for anything they consider lame or uncool . I first heard it from my niece and her friends out in Colorado over Christmas but have since heard it used by youth at least twice around here . Incidentally , altho it messes my mind to imagine what I would feel if my mother had so little ability to deal with members of my sex that she got herself impregnated with some anonymous sperm in some ritual with another woman , my friend's sister's boys , who are only just reaching puberty , seemed all in all pretty normal , tho definitely enjoying the rare presence of a couple of men , when I met them at Thanksgiving a couple of years ago . My "nephew" raised from infancy to teen by my sister and his father after his mother ran off with another woman , but who later claimed custody during his teen years when his father was in federal prison for marihuana manufacture , seems to be leading an unremarkable married life , more stable than his upbringing . --=A0 =A0Bob Armstrong -- http://CoSy.com -- 212-285-1864
