GAY MEN AND THEIR MOTHERS: IS THERE A SPECIAL CLOSENS?
* i'm a gay man now mommy *
Perhaps is not surprisg that mothers and their gay sons often scribe their relatnships as close.
However, beg gay might be a factor that mak some mothers and sons even closer.
MY MOM KNOWS I'M GAY, BUT SHE KEEPS TELLG ME TO MARRY A MAN AND HAVE KIDS. WHAT N I DO?
This was found to be te for many of the mothers and sons I terviewed for the study scribed the book: Comg Out, Comg Home: Helpg Fai Adjt to a Gay or Lbian Child (). Neverthels, this closens uld have a downsi, at least temporarily, as many mothers ially blame themselv and the close relatnships for their sons' homosexualy.
So, perhaps is not pletely surprisg that once they learned their sons were gay, some of the mothers I terviewed felt that they had done somethg to damage them.
AM I GAY?
The fact is that I am the mother and I was told growg up that men bee gay bee their mothers are too motherg. For a long time, the psychiatric profsn blamed overly close maternal relatnships for g the "disease" of male homosexualy.
