Today on Christian Post, Chuck Colson posted a lumn tled “Born Gay? A Parent’s Gui” which asserted that the way parents relate to their male children n create homosexualy.
Colson quoted extensively om Joseph and Lda Nilosi’s book, A Parent’s Gui to Preventg Homosexualy as support for the view that weak or distant fathers and smotherg mothers create gay mal. Acrdg to Nilosi, gay mal suffered a “genr wound” childhood and failed to intify properly wh their fathers.

Instead of rporatg a mascule sense of self, the prehomosexual boy is dog jt the oppose -- rejectg his emergg malens and th velopg a fensive posn agast . Acrdg to Nilosi and Colson, parents n take steps to prevent a gay oute.
If a boy is gay, his father was not “both strong and rg” and the bond wh the mother was “unhealthy. In future broadsts, Colson promis to brg more rmatn “about what parents n do to lsen the chanc their children will grow up homosexual.

For stance, the odds of homosexualy creased slightly when divorced parents remarried, brgg two step-parents to the picture.
