Could My Teen Be Gay?
We're worried about his disinterest in dating.
Lisa Whelchel | posted 9/01/2004
My 16-year-old son's more interested in the arts than in athletics, seems to have no interest in girls, and doesn't have many male friends at school or church. With all the publicity about homosexuality today, we can't help but worry our son could be gay. What should we do?

You just described my husband, Steve, as a 16-year-old. He was First Chair in band, never dated, and spent more time working and studying than hanging out with the guys. Today we have a healthy 16-year marriage and three wonderful children. So just because your son doesn't resemble the stereotypical high-school boy doesn't mean he's gay.

Two common threads exist among those who struggle with homosexual tendencies. First, does your son exhibit any signs of childhood molestation or incest? If you suspect this is the case, seek help from a local Christian counselor.

Then look at the father/son (and for girls, the mother/daughter) relationship. Does your son feel accepted by his father? Is your husband a jock who rejects or even ridicules your son's interest in the arts? Perhaps your son's father isn't even in the picture, either by divorce, absence, death, or passivity.

The father holds the key to affirming a boy's manhood. Without that blessing, a gaping hole is left in a young man's life. Fortunately, a healing substitute often can be found in a strong father figure. If not, some young men attempt to "cannibalize" other men through homosexual actions to fill that void.

I know from personal friendships it's possible for someone who struggles with homosexual temptation or who has embraced that lifestyle to find freedom and strength to change. The answer is first found in receiving redemption through Jesus Christ. From there I recommend logging onto www.exodus-international.org or www.lovewonout.com for further information and direction.

She is a Born Again Christian, so she is going to feel that way. She has a right to her own opinion, plus, that article is almost 10 years old, she might have changed her views since then.

There's more. I could spend the whole day posting her insane rants. She's messed up in the head and the worst person to be telling parents how to raise their kids. She's not born again either as she was quoted saying "I fell in love with Jesus Christ at age 10."

 

[Bradlee]

She's a douchebag-I'd ignore her and move on

 

[bigdaddyhorse]

I'm less interested in her question as the absolutely idiotic the person who answered her spouted.

Maybe she should listen to the theme song of her old show.

You'd think after 9 seasons she would have developed a little tolerance.

What bothers me most is the fact that she is writing books and giving bad advice to parents on raising kids. She shelters her own kids from playing with other and practices "hot saucing" which I find completely weird and abusive. I can't even imagine what she'd do if one of her kids were to come out in their teen years.

I never used her, Natalie was my fave.

LMFAO


Yeah, the Christian men who keep getting caught up in scandals for molesting boys would be the perfect people to take him to.

 

[bostonboy20]

she also spanks her kids...Blaire didn't grow into a great person...what can ya say

 

[Roralot]

She also has the weird practice of putting hot sauce on children's tongues for punishment.

Her beliefs don't surprise me. I kind of expected that from her. I remember there was an episode where Natalie loses her virginity (the first from their group) and Lisa refused to take part in that episode because of the subject matter. Someone mentioned earlier after almost a decade in Hollywood you would think she may have evolved a different perspective. But then again this was Hollywood in the 1980s, a place not very accepting of gay people at the time. Ah well.

Remember the episode from the very first season (with the bigger cast) where Blair taunts the tomboy and accuses her of being a lesbian?

I don't know what Tootie's beef is either. Her wedding was officiated by former gospel singer Donnie McClurkin. Pastor McClurkin’s ministry specializes in counseling men that homosexuality can be “overcome” through Bible study and intense prayer.

Lisa Whelchel is also heavily involved with "Focus on the Family."

Of course I remember that first episode! They had the cast of Different Strokes on as guests. I remember they treated Cindy's possible lesbianism as some sort of curse or malediction. But then again we have to remember this was the late 1970s and homosexuality in mainstream America was still so taboo. Heck, an intelligent woman with a strong personality was considered a taboo!

I didn't know that about Kim Fields. I've never gotten a homophobic vibe from her (or the other two Nancy McKeon and Mindy Cohn). But I don't want to jump to conclusions about her just because she has a homophobic gospel singer. That is interesting to know though.

She just wants the best for her son and doesn't know any other way then the life she knows. She can't offer what she does not have. However, your advice about the show's song words are right on target. Unconditional acceptance is hard to achieve all the time. Love your comments.

 

[tavares]

Kim Fields is FAR from a homophobe. She was really close friends with T.C. Carson (Kyle) on Living Single and that dude FLAMES!

 

[bluedragon4]

How can she judge? Do we all not remember this episode.....

She's the idiotic person spouting this "advice" to whomever wrote in about their poor dear lamb of a son.

What a nutbar.
