MY MOTHER SISTED I WAS GAY - BUT I’M NOT

I didn't know she was homophobic, fact I didn't even know what homophobia was or what means to be gay. She always wanted a girl and uldn't pe wh the fact I'm gay so she thought transng me was a perfect solutn.

In his early teens, Guillme Gallienne’s mother told him that he was gay. He had always found difficult ftg wh his macho father and athletic brothers, and so everyone the fay was nvced that he was gay – cludg Guillme took him several years to realise that was not strictly when he started to go out wh girls, his parents sisted that he was nial and when he announced his engagement to the woman who is now his wife, neher his mother nor his father spoke to him for 24 hours.

Acrdg to Nilosi, gay mal suffered a “genr wound” childhood and failed to intify properly wh their fathers. Somehow, however, the “prehomosexual male” be gay by fallg love wh what he once rejected – masculy – and seeks gay sex as a means to fd . 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.

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.

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