“It’s bee you are gay.
When my mum told me the reason I was love wh a man was bee I was gay, my whole world fell apart. ”Unlike his athletic brothers, the teenaged Guillme loved to dance, a memory played out the uncertaty ntued until his nt suggted that the only way to fd out if he was gay or straight, was to fall love. All the years, if she was nvced her son was gay, meant that she would always rema the most important woman his life.
If I would fall love wh a man tomorrow, I would have a gay life.

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 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. In practice, if you believe the reports of men who say they are gay bee their fathers were distant, then you are bound to believe the reports of gay men who say they had close relatnships wh their fathers. In that se, the theory fails as a general explanatn for homosexualy bee, as I illtrate below, there are numero gay men and their fathers who report histori of close bondg and mutual love.
