I have lots of friends who are gay and I support their right to live their lives the way they want. I have a hard time however believing that everyone on your list of celebrities is gay. Rumors are rumors but many gays are starting to come out of the closet. W e shouldn't force them to come out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224314961475453790.post-73536334767392981832009-01-09T15:13:00.000-05:002009-01-09T15:13:00.000-05:00WOW. Never mind the small ignorant minded who are...WOW. Never mind the small ignorant minded who are so sure they're going straight to heaven! and even more sure that their the only ones who GOD hears. How sad!<BR/><BR/>Eric I was happened to catch your mom's show today...came back to my office and have it online. Anyway, I can relate to her feelings also, since I am a cuban mother to a 26 yr old Gay son. Like her, his father and I couldn't believe it. He hid it so well for so long. He came out to us 1 1/2 yrs ago. At that very moment we made sure he knew that we loved him more than life itself and it wouldn't change anything. Acceptance of the situation wasn't easy to say the least, and tears continue to well up even when I thik about it. But I understand that it's not something that can be changed. Of course my worries have all to do with the difficult situations he will encounter. Coming from the cuban macho culture, his father continues to struggle with "how to accept it", he's been always been very vocal against the gay life. I imagine it also has to do with his man friends and their possible views. However, although he doesn't come out and say it, I feel he will come around. He's very proud of his son and honestly could not be a better a dad. About a month after coming out, my son enrolled in a NYC university to finish his studies while living with my sister and her family. They accepted him as is, since they also have a Gay niece they love.) He's come home often since moving away, and is very happy. I've always told him, he's happiness is my happiness. He's father feels the same way. His dream since a child was always to move to NYC. He's thriving and we're both very Proud of the man he has become. I believe that radio shows like your mom's serve a great purpose and continue to open minds. Please let he rknow to continue the vocalization! Bless you and yours!<BR/>A proud Cuban Texas Mom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224314961475453790.post-26309564334500367122009-01-09T15:10:00.000-05:002009-01-09T15:10:00.000-05:00Eric,I understand your point of view. But I also u...Eric,<BR/><BR/>I understand your point of view. But I also understand that bringing in "Ricky Martin's" name into your post is simply your way to get the attention of your readers. Which is a good thing....people need to be more open minded about gays & lesbians.<BR/><BR/>I personally disagree that Ricky is gay. I personally think that he simply is a person who is not very public about his personal life. That does not necessarily mean that he is gay. So to publicly say that Ricky is gay hidding in the closet might not be fair statement to make.<BR/><BR/>With that said, I just want to give my point of view regarding parents and their gay children. I know that in the Latino community, we are very closed minded just like in the African American community. And because of this we are also so affraid about what are other people going to think.<BR/><BR/>So for any parent out there who has a son/daughter who hasn't come out or has already come out but you are having trouble accepting your son/daughter, think of them as just another normal person. Why? Because gays are actually normal people.<BR/><BR/>You may say, "but they have a chemical inbalance, how can they be normal?" Well, I ask you how come is it that your skin is the color it is? How come your eyes are the way they are? How come your hair is the way it is? Is it because of a chemical inbalance or simply because that is the make up of your DNA and that is how you were born? The same way, gays have the sexual tendencies they have simply because that is the way they were born therefore making them a normal person.<BR/><BR/>A person who is different from your skin color, eyes, hair and sexual preference is not an abnormal, weird, less of a person. They are simply different but yet normal.<BR/><BR/>Well, I think I rambled on enough here.<BR/><BR/>PS 1: I am neither gay nor I have a family memeber who is gay. I just simply understand that God has made us all different but nevertheless normal in his eyes.<BR/><BR/>PS 2: Eric you should put your links (http://....) as a hyper link so that your blog looks a little more appealing to the eye and more organized.
