So, it would seem that homosexuality isn't an 'unnatural' act as such if it occurs in the 'natural' world of the so called lesser species. Interesting......

Well, Dick Cheney doesn't seem to mind. His daughter Mary just gave birth to a baby boy that she and her partner Heather will raise.

This is the first time I have ever seen Cheney smile.

ib48, why can't *you* be normal, instead of a hysterical, raving, drama queen?

Any abuse is unacceptable in my eyes. Problem is, a lot of abused men won't report the abuse they suffer so what can be done about it - and it's not just women who think it's funny, other men will mock as well.

To me it makes no difference the sex or orrientation of good parents. I would have preferred to have been raised in a loving and caring environment by same sex or a single parent than my natural parents who were not, IMO, fit to raise children.

We suffered what I call 'respectable abuse'. No physical abuse, but verbal and mental with care just the right side of the minimum needed, leaving me with problems it has taken me fifty years to sort out and a brother who has been involved with drink and drugs and is incapable of working at fifty. We were a disfunctional family who no longer keep in touch. Would we have been better with same sex parents, our own or adopted? I don't know, but maybe there would have been a chance that we might have felt wanted, rather than just an impediment.

Thank you for sharing that, Jacqui--it is important for everyone to hear about this stuff, and understand that it is a real, ongoing issue that confronts everyone, and not just fodder for internet ranting and raving.

there are men who get abused by women, and yet there is no place for the abused men to go and I call that abuse because these men are asking for help and they get none

well I think that there is no place for abused men to go ie refuges or any other place for that matter I mean a woman was on the radio said that the reason for this was that 10 percent of all abuse is towards men, I find that 10 percent too much what about zero torlance towards these men who are victims of domistic vilolence

I suspect that a good many people think of a gay man as being perpetually in bed, rather than a person faced with all the day to day problems and joys as everyone else. One of my gay friends says that when he meets someone he doesn't immediately identify himself as being gay for a couple of reasons: He doesn't live the sterotypical big city gay 'lifestyle' and never has; His 'gayness' is only part of what makes him who he is.
