Reply to Linda's Blog - Wk 2

Linda, I thought this post was interesting, and good question at the end. I don't have any official sources but my opinion is that men would generally have a tougher time accepting that their son was gay, as oppossed to their daughter. I think attitudes about homosexuality are changing. In fact a few years ago when John Kerry kept talking about Dick Cheyney's daughter who is a lesbian I found it odd that Kerry would have even brought it up.I noticed a show the other day where a bisexual attress is doing a show like the Bachelor but she has men and women to choose from. I am wondering now if people are more accepting of a bisexual woman than of a bisexual man. I wonder if this is the start of a transitional phase where we will soon see a bachelor that is select from a pool of bachelors? Or a woman with just females to choose from?
I remember a kid from high school who sounded a lot like John. He got picked on frequently because most people assumed he was gay. At my last reunion he was married with 3 kids.
