The Fag Hag: How a Girl’s Misguided Friendship Choices Can Lead to a Lifetime of Loneliness
July 27, 2010 by Stephenson Billings

I received an impassioned letter the other day that I’d like to share with you. It reads, in part:
My daughter surprised me by moving into an apartment in the city this summer with 3 gay men. I certainly don’t hate homosexuals but when I paid a visit we spent the entire weekend with these people. We went to a restaurant where the boys were very catty and drunk. Then I slept on their living room couch and that was interesting to say the least… I guess they all think their bedroom doors are sound proof. Next day one of them even came clothes shopping with us! So I’m worried about her finding a real man. She has assured me many times over that she’s a heterosexual but how is she going to find a man to marry if she hangs around these types of people all the time?
This is an incredibly complex issue and to the letter writer and other worried parents out there I will say there is no easy answer. The psychological and physical relationship between heterosexual girls and homosexual males is many layered. It can begin at an early age but, tragically, the consequences can last a lifetime.
PRINCIPLES, PIMPLES & POPULARITY
It is common for young girls who have not socialized properly to seek solace in the company of outcasts. The problem begins in the teenage years when girls are intensely self-conscious about their looks. Not having the right clothes or failing to join a sports team can drive a young person inward and away from her popular peers. Pimples are also a big problem. A girl suffering from pimples feels ashamed and awkward, ugly and unloved. She will hide her face, sit at the back of the classroom and lose interest in meeting boys. Fortunately, pimples and acne are easily addressed by a good dermatologist and the right medications. If your child suffers from pimples, please get involved and monitor your girl’s facial care. It’s a simple thing to do and can really make a difference for her self-esteem and for her ability to meet your expectations. I should note, however, that pimples are also symptomatic of marijuana use so if your child is unwilling to talk to you about her pimples, you may have a far more serious issue on your hands.
Despite the fact that these young female outcasts are on the fringes of school social groups, they still yearn for male companionship. Teenage macho culture may scare them, so they look for a softer form of friendship, one that is initially non-threatening. Homosexuals of all ages and young women share many similar obsessions-- clothes, gossip and melodramatic TV shows-- and this is what draws them together. As they become young adults, alcohol consumption is often added to the list. They also begin to lust for men who are, by definition, beyond their reach. This is why we have a culture of young people who idolize the “zombies” and “vampires” played by handsome actors. Zombies and vampires may be asexualized fantasy characters, but much of their practices on TV and in the movies are nothing more than simulated fornication. Naturally, this form of entertainment appeals to those unsuccessful at mastering their own bodies.
UNDER THE INFLUENCE
The more time a girl spends with her homosexual friends, the more she will fall under the influence of their habits and mannerisms. She might pick up homosexual fashions and dress mannishly. Instead of cultivating a delicate, feminine look, many dress in black clothes and heavy shoes. Some keep their cheeks pale and wear not enough lipstick. Most mimic homosexual facial expressions, tending to frown and wince a great deal to evince a disdainful attitude towards the world. When this type of girl hears an off-color joke or some piece of gossip, she will shriek at absurdly high levels, levels that would be unacceptable in sober, polite society. She may also take up cigarette smoking to replace the heterosexual intercourse that her body so desperately craves, somehow equating a damp little instrument of cancer lodged between her lips with the act of copulation.
All this time spent around gay men comes at a cost. When the firm, bass tones of masculinity command such a young woman, she will long for the shrill call of the homosexual. When asked by a heterosexual male to be the quiet but pleasant companion at business functions or family dinners out, the girl will rebel. This is a litmus test of just how far off course she has gone. If she is a fully formed “fag hag,” she will abandon her straight mate at these social events and lurch for the bar, ordering up a frizzy cocktail while seeking any hint of homosexuality in the bartender’s eyes. If she has come this far, she is now fully allergic to the requirements of being a wife and the bartender’s scandalous bits of gossip whispered over margaritas will only worsen the rash of autonomy that she has developed.
THE CARNAL CONUNDRUM
Deep in the our female friend’s heart is a terrible contradiction. Many of these women secretly believe that a close relationship with a homosexual will blossom into a gender-bending experience. They hunger for the lean gym bodies that so many gay men spend hours pumping into glistening perfection. They crave the boy’s progressive fashion sense, how his tight shirts show off perky biceps and a hairless or freshly-shaven chest. They are lured into what passes for a “glamorous” lifestyle in the big cities of America-- flashy friends, models and actors, days spent shopping at Bloomingdales, nights dining at exclusive restaurants, parties with guest lists, trendy discos in dangerous neighborhoods… The homosexual often uses his high degree of promiscuity to gain access to overbooked restaurants (slept with a waiter), private parties (slept with the host’s boyfriend) and expensive clubs (slept with the drummer playing that night). It is an astonishingly incestuous world.
The reason for such incest? The homosexual is like a locust-- limber, voracious and without conscience. They consume everything in their path, stripping the purest things bare, leaving them barren and alone in the cold night air. They will rampage through cities and cultures, whether it’s San Francisco or the Brazilians, the hallowed chambers of the Vatican or internet chat boards. Our straight women in love with gay men don’t seem to comprehend that once they’ve been dropped off for the night at their doorfronts, the homosexual’s adventure is really just beginning. More bars and clubs, the after-hours establishments, cocaine, crystal meth, sex bathhouses, motel room sex parties, tricking in truckstops, prancing in parks, the true nature of these men is now revealed. The lengths to which the homosexual will go to destroy any scent of propriety and humanity in themselves would shock their early-evening female companions and it begs larger questions about our culture.
How can our masculinity survive in an era when it’s so abused, rushed into alleyways for repeated and foul violations that push into the darkest crevasses of humanity’s evil? As a society, we’re not just looking into the mirror, we’ve been pushed up against it, our faces sweating, our bodies naked, our hearts beating too fast, can we even make out our reflections as we’re crushed there, violated from the world behind us, painfully, incessantly, raped and violated in the most nasty of ways, that scruff of the devil’s chest hair chafing our backs, the heavy hot breath of society’s doom in our ear, as we plead for an escape, for freedom, for forgiveness from Jesus Christ for the sins we have permitted in our society, for not protecting our brothers and sisters, for not standing up for morality, for not pushing back and fighting, shouting? No we put ourselves here in this very place. Guilt! Our love for ourselves, our malodorous indulgence and narcissism drew us too close to that mirror. Guilt! We wished to see ourselves in all our glory. But in that worship of self we set aside the most important worship of all: that of our God. Have you truly no guilt for what has been done to you, my friends?
Tragically, despite everything I tell you, our poor lady friend still suspects that maybe, just maybe, after a long drunken or drug-fueled night the homosexual’s masculinity may rise somewhere in the darkness to claim her. As they cling close together, bound by mutual neediness and emotional instability, hot wet tears and Egyptian cotton sheets, she dreams that he will be her man, abandoning his all-night sex raves to stay home and bounce children on his knee. But let me tell you this here and now, ladies: it was never meant to be.
HOPE GIVES WAY TO HIGHBALLS
As these once-hopeful women age, they become far too accustomed to the homosexual male and far too unfamiliar with the heterosexual ones. They have false expectations for every straight man they meet. They demand these men take pleasure in shopping and watching shows like Glee. Instead of football games and grandpa’s cookouts, she’ll opt for spotting celebrities at high-end cocktail bars. No hosting bridal showers and Boca Raton weekends for them, no they’ll demand something more excessive-- film noir movie marathons and New Year’s Eve parties at Mexican resorts. And to keep up with her aging homosexual peers, they will wear increasingly outrageous outfits. Big chunky bits of jewelry, hair dyed shocking colors, careers as art directors or café owners, all feathers of an exotic bird to attract the homosexual’s weary eyes.
In her 30s and 40s, the female’s biological urge to be bear children will be forgotten in an alcoholic haze. She will only communicate with her child-rearing childhood friends via Facebook. Privately, she’ll scorn their balding, beer-bellied husbands and broods of jelly-smeared children. No, she will never have that home with a big lawn, the two-car garage and nicely pruned shrubbery, the rooms bright and airy, decorated with yellows and off-whites, floral chairs and the fluorescence of children’s toys.
Visits to her parents will be bittersweet, full of awkward conservations and secret hunts through the homes of elderly relatives for vintage finds. And her mother, the poor suffering woman who had had such high hopes, will never be blessed by the cry of a red-faced child, suckling and smiling. Grandmotherhood denied to a woman who had devoted her life to love. What a reward! And mother’s fate? Game shows and loneliness, maybe even her own escapes into the alluring glow of the bottle. A sad, sad end to a proud American family’s ancestral line all due to the homosexual influence. How ironic that the gay lifestyle has not only prevented a percentage of America’s men from procreating, but also a large number of otherwise perfectly heterosexual women.
SODOM AND THE CANYON
Old age comes swiftly for our female friend. The homosexual is the fairest of fair weather friends. Once another trend arrives, be it a twinky boy or some new disco drug, he has moved on. The “fag hag” is no longer useful cover for his forays into the straight world and the secret of his homosexuality has long ago been exposed. He will drop her for a miniscule and heavily mortgaged condo in Key West. And our ex-fag hag will be left with her knitting and her cats, posting their photos to obscure internet message boards with a plea for a reply. And maybe this will be her final chance for serendipity, the possibility that her old drinking buddy in Key West will post a witty comment about her snapshot of Mr. Whiskers. But will she even know it’s him, hiding behind that screen name that makes it sound like he’s a hard-bodied bi-curious soccer player born in 1982? Yes, the homosexual is even in his late days a chameleon.
Parents, please, get involved early and keep your children on track. Sports and friends and dermatological care are so vital. Lead them down the path of inspiration and hope, marriage and parenting. Otherwise that horrific, damp world just off the edge of homosexual lust awaits. It is a precipice that your girl could fall into, drunkenly dropping from ledge to ledge as the decades fly by, her shrill laugh echoing off the walls as she descends deeper and deeper into a world most indulgent and obscene. And when she finally crashes, chain-smoking and howling on the dark canyon floor of spinster obscurity will her old homosexual friends still so busy in Sodom even hear that thud? No, I think not.

Mr. Billings,
You are obviously a smart man. Or at least smart enough to form coherent sentences, and, perhaps in some bizarro universe where you prescribed to a cultural identity that fosters the cultivation of the human spirit rather that unbridled bigotry, you would be a first class comedy writer. In fact, this article would sew the seeds for a fantastic episode of “30 Rock.” Although, I’d bet dollars to donuts you don’t watch that show. Too many liberal-minded jokes? Too many alternative lifestyles? Too many artists?
Either way, the confusion I have, Mr. Billings, is how someone who, as far as I can tell from reading your prose, is not a complete moron could espouse such idiotic ideology. Allow me to explain. The obvious here is that you are a homophobe. There’s no reason to dissect the artful (and awfully familiar) thread of hateful stereotypes and vulgar generalizations out of which you create an empirically nasty web of derogatory bile. I see no reason to point out the readily apparent fact that it’s people with closed-minded notions of gender, sexuality and lifestyle like you who are the reason that thousands of Americans are being denied the most basic civil rights based on some half-baked prejudice or xenophobia or latent-homosexuality (not that I am saying this applies to you specifically). I don’t need to explain all that. That’s obvious.
What I will point out, though, is the incredible depths of misogyny that you are mining in this hate-mongering piece of Internet propaganda. This convoluted link you establish between a young woman having friends who happen to be homosexual and the creation of an embittered Old Maid with a lifetime of regret is idiotic at best (and radically dangerous at worst). Your assertion that every woman should strive for nothing more than “a big lawn, the two-car garage and nicely pruned shrubbery, the rooms bright and airy, decorated with yellows and off-whites, floral chairs and the fluorescence of children’s toys” — at the arm of a strong, well-earning man, of course — is post-Depression era, anti-feminist rubbish. What about Oprah? What about Meg Whitman? What about Ellen Degeneres– well, let’s not go there right now.
With disdain, you write, “When asked by a heterosexual male to be the quiet but pleasant companion at business functions or family dinners out, the girl will rebel.” Good for her! Any woman, no matter how much acne she had as a child (what!?), should be appalled by your outright proclamation that a woman can be told, essentially, “Sit down and shut up. Men are talking.” Even those women who don’t follow the gospel of Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan should be up in arms about the place you are trying to put them in society with your rhetorical Female Obedience School attitude.
Then there’s the pure nonsense. You vilify “big chunky bits of jewelry, hair dyed shocking colors, careers as art directors or café owners.” You assume that every woman’s ultimate goal is to rear a child. You demean the lifestyles of the millions of independent women living in big cities with their own careers and means and artistic pursuits and styles and reasons to exist. You claim that participation in team sports will stave off the horrors of eventual cat ownership.
Ultimately, the myopic world-view you spew here that creates an image that corrupts the upbringing of intelligent, well-rounded young women, might be written off as a rant by another moron on the Internet. And, as I’ve said, I find it difficult to believe you are a complete moron. But to insist upon this close-mindedness and to recommend that parents actually raise their children as dictated by the “values” you feel should be imposed is nothing short of patent cruelty.
Any parents who are still reading this and have any hope in raising their child to be a kind, generous, smart, caring, and well-adjusted individual should break this cycle of hatred and do what they can to make sure people like Mr. Billings no longer affect the minds of adults and children in this nation.
Thank you, Mr. Billings, for providing me with fodder today to fuel an ongoing fight against people like you.
Sincerely,
Appalled in (you guessed it) New York City

Mr. A. Paul Debayew – I agree with you all of the way. I think the rhetoric tactic has turned into: insert so many layers of wrong the shell-shocked reader doesn’t even know where to start. It’s so hard to know that someone can be so out of touch with real life and yet have the nerve to write nonsense with such fervor.
Mr. Billings: You have once again demonstrated that anyone different from you is a complete moron in the way you think these ‘different’ people act. Not everyone of the female gender is the sort of helpless, lost, subservient, pitiable creature that you portray. All of the homosexual guys I know are just like every other guy; you seem to think that they are demonic creatures of depravity and high pitched voices. I promise you that I don’t know any guys of any orientation with shrill, high pitched voices. Your descriptions for the different people groupings you create are laughable. Also, please step outside and observe how people *actually* live for a few days; you might find how people think and act to be much more complex than the caricatures you tend to create. Also, chronic lack of sun/outdoors exposure may lead to rickets, so the benefit for you would be two-fold.
You mention your ideal a home life: a “home with a big lawn, the two-car garage and nicely pruned shrubbery, the rooms bright and airy, decorated with yellows and off-whites, floral chairs and the fluorescence of children’s toys.”
Surprisingly, everything except for the floral chairs and children’s toys are found in my home. Clearly, home life and upbringing mean little for one’s development; I would align myself with very few, if any, of your beliefs. Despite what you think, it *is* possible to be a female with a cultural, peer, and adult approved physical appearance, interact with people of all backgrounds and orientations, be a studious and hard worker, scorn being a vapid shopaholic, and who can think and protect herself, with the ability to break ribs as an extra (oh no, a female who doesn’t need a big alpha male to do anything!). Honestly, tour a real school or university sometime.
I know I’ve only reached the base, but right now tackling this mountain of complete excrement would be unbearably distasteful and overwhelming. Please, just stop…no one wants to read this.
With complete sincerity,

From a fellow christian and a woman I have to say what disgust I find in reading this. It is men like this that further and falsely portray woman as the victim. A victim that is too fragile to control themselves but need to be controlled and watched after by men. We should always be tolerant of other people’s choices and this is what Jesus taught us. But I find nothing but evil in Billings scant about homosexuality and the feminine held captive. Billing’s it is people like you that do nothing but promote hatred. This hatred might even lead to violence and you would be the man that has blood on his hands. You disgrace God himself and should be fully ashamed of who you are and what beliefs you think you should put out there. I am sure you will get what is coming to you for we will all be judged. You yourself perhaps are just jealous because you have no woman in your life. Men like you should learn from the gay men that treat woman with respect for who they are and what they like. They treat them not based on your superficial views of how many pimples they have or what good looks they bare. Gay men treat woman based on who they are inside. You Mr. Billing’s are not a Christian but an evil man that should be stopped.

Hah! This has to be a Poe’s Law manifestation, right…noone could write something this wilfully ignorant, misinformed, blinkered and off the point otherwise. (If so however, you’ve just eroded yet more of my faith in humanity away, Billings. Gratz. While we’re assuming this though, I’d like to point out that you’ve compounded your stupidity with a wide range of braying assumptions, statements and value judgements (e.g. ‘I should note, however, that pimples are also symptomatic of marijuana use…’ Just…what? Evidence. NOW.))
By the way, I can’t help but notice that most of your…heh…observations are directed at the decay of the ‘traditional American way of life’ (or whatever is it you want to call it). Needless to say – well it shouldn’t be but anyway – this is not the fault of the ‘fag hag’. It’s actually the fault of the linear time-space continuum – i.e. the fact we are no longer in the 1950s. Deal with it. Or read my username.

holy fucking shit see the discriminating asshole hypocrit aff an asshat ramble here.
i’m sorry half the time you even fall completly of on your own train of thoughts.
“It is an astonishingly incestuous world. The reason for such incest?”
incest? do you even know what that word means? i’m sorry but homosexuality have nothing to do with incest at all.
i can’t take you seriously when you keep returning to your own false conclusions.
“Not having the right clothes or failing to join a sports team can drive a young person inward and away from her popular peers.”
have the thought that they may not have an intrest in popular clothes or being on a sports team even occured to you? not everyone share your life abitions and i’m sorry to tell you but your sick idea that children should live to please their parents ideals is sickening especialy seeing as we know that you didn’t live up to your mothers expectations.
does it really scare you so much that maybe these kids enjoy life in a way that you don’t? are you sure you are not simply denying these people happines because you could never obtain it yourself?
yes these girls(or boys for that matter) may be looked down on and become outcasts. but then the ones who look down on them are shalow selfish people and this is what you think we should aspire to be? fuck you billings because untill you gain true respect for other people you deserve nothing but the hate you get.
“This is why we have a culture of young people who idolize the “zombies” and “vampires” played by handsome actors.”
1. witch fucking movies have hordes of fangirls about hot zombies? i know about twilight for the vampires but zombies? or did your “reaserch team” fail again?
2. are you sure it’s not simply because of the handsome actor part?
also they have just as… scratch that far bigger fan base among the girls you seem to think everyone should aspire to be.

Hello J,
Thanks for the comment. I do think once again you have misread some of the finer points of this piece and I’ll be willing to write that off to the language barrier. However, I did explain my definition of “incest” below, it’s a refined, polished one that you would find in printed literature.
As for girls who have lost an interest in clothes and popular culture, yes this is indeed problematic. There is quite a difference between the female mind and the male one. See my post below about the functioning of the female brain. If young girls hide away and never make friends, they are far more troubled when they get older. They don’t know how to make friends, how to talk with people. Do you realize there are adults who are so fearful of communicating with strangers they just freeze and would rather stay in their house rather than engage? My poor mother is like this and all that time inside, what is she doing? She watches tv and out of boredom she may even drink sometimes. It’s a unhappy world there and I really feel for her. I don’t want today’s otherwise bright and smart girls to grow old with nobody. Everyone needs a friend, or 5 they say, to stay mentally stable in life.
Zombies are very popular in the US. Don’t ask me why. it’s some weird child trend. Not true in Denmark? Vampires, too, of course.

also you seem to fail to understand that not everyone have the same intrests. it is not nececarily a loss of intrest in cloths some people simply don’t care and it’s shallow people like you who’s a problem. just because you can’t understand the appeal of something doesn’t mean there isn’t one. just because you can’t find happines in something doesn’t mean others can’t.
you are asking these people to lie to themself about who they are simply so they can live up to your ideals and if that isn’t selfish i don’t know what is. you dare demand that others sacrefice their happines just so you can fell good about yourself. you arrogant selfish shallow twat.

Um, excuse me sir…but people not wanting to bow down to the holy shrine of “popular culture” have NOTHING wrong with them. In fact, they’re likely much smarter than the average iPhone purchasing sheep. I’m a reformed Christian (i.e. atheist), but I’m pretty sure I remember a certain commandment about “not worshiping false idols” – if sucking the corporate teat of every designer clothing company doesn’t fall into the worship of false idols, I don’t know what does.

“Not having the right clothes or failing to join a sports team can drive a young person inward and away from her popular peers.”
Well that’s a load of bullshit.
“As they become young adults, alcohol consumption is often added to the list.”
Source?
“She might pick up homosexual fashions and dress mannishly. Instead of cultivating a delicate, feminine look, many dress in black clothes and heavy shoes.

False, completely false.
“The homosexual often uses his high degree of promiscuity to gain access to overbooked restaurants (slept with a waiter), private parties (slept with the host’s boyfriend) and expensive clubs (slept with the drummer playing that night). It is an astonishingly incestuous world.”

THIS, Billings, is why we hate your guts.
“More bars and clubs, the after-hours establishments, cocaine, crystal meth, sex bathhouses, motel room sex parties, tricking in truckstops, prancing in parks”
None of the gay men I know do stuff like this. You’re making hurtful assumptions. And that, once again, is why nobody loves you.
“No, she will never have that home with a big lawn, the two-car garage and nicely pruned shrubbery, the rooms bright and airy, decorated with yellows and off-whites, floral chairs and the fluorescence of children’s toys.”
Well guess what? Not every woman longs for those things.
“And her mother, the poor suffering woman who had had such high hopes, will never be blessed by the cry of a red-faced child, suckling and smiling. Grandmotherhood denied to a woman who had devoted her life to love. What a reward! And mother’s fate? Game shows and loneliness, maybe even her own escapes into the alluring glow of the bottle.”

CLaire, I understand that this may have touched a nerve with you since you are a young female so dependent on your homosexual male friends but please consider the spot you’re putting yourself in. Your comment is, once again, just a slash cut & paste job of my highlights with your rudeness following. I happen to have a great experience writing and exploring the societal dangers of homosexuality, as do so many of my Christian peers. When you’re a wee bit older you may come around and see that these friendships you hold so dear are shallow, and have prevented you achieving the lifestyle you deserve in you older days. America is certainly a diverse place and not everyone wants to live in a house in the perfect suburbs, but what’s so wrong about aspiring to financial independence and a strong community of faith around you?

How the fuck do you know anything about something you’ve never researched?
//When you’re a wee bit older you may come around and see that these friendships you hold so dear are shallow, and have prevented you achieving the lifestyle you deserve in you older days.//
You’re the shallow one here buddy, the only reason why you follow the bible is because you’re so scared of going to hell, you don’t follow the word just to actually follow it and be an actual citizen. You’re a fucking cult, nothing else. Hell, you aren’t even Christian in the first place.
//America is certainly a diverse place and not everyone wants to live in a house in the perfect suburbs, but what’s so wrong about aspiring to financial independence and a strong community of faith around you?//
Not everyone NEEDS faith in order to be an actual good person, nor does everyone need the same faith in order to do the same. You, on the other hand, believe everyone needs to be a Christian, that only Americans are worth a cent, and that everyone else can go blow themselves and get nuked.

Wow, what an obtuse douchebag you are. Do you get paid for this drivel? Polished? What a laugh. You can’t polish this turd of an article – as much as you might wish to make your lies appear shiny. Hey – it’s your prerogative to make an ass of yourself. You can at least be proud that you do it so very well.
Too bad you have absolutely no empirical evidence, research or actual peer-reviewed science to back up your nincompoopery. You’re just another gasbag who is looking for a way to rationalize your bigotry.
It must really really suck to be you! But then again, it’s your CHOICE to be an uneducated hatemonger. Unlike orientation, which is not a choice. As one of my dear friends would say: You’re just a poor poor baby. From the smell of this article, you need a change.

I am utterly disgusted, to the core of my being. You have what may be called the most skewed and absurd view on morality that I have ever come across and are a prime example of what is truly wrong with our society.
I consider myself what you so derogatorily refer to as a “fag hag” and am thrilled to call a gay man my best friend in the world. Now I don’t want to you get too concerned about my underlying sexual desire for my best friend, or the incest (really?) that would result from it, because, to me, being attracted to him is comparable to you, Mr. Billings, being attracted to another male, which I am sure you know plenty about but have somewhat successfully repressed and covered with excessive hatred and fear.
Now I’m no christian, but I do know one thing. The basis of your fairy tale religion is forgiveness and compassion. Am I wrong on this? Or is this another example of the hypocritical “sometimes we are-sometimes we aren’t” aspects of the religion? I find your lack of benevolence or even simple humanity to be astoundingly simple-minded and slightly comedic.
Although, now that I have written this and vented somewhat on your stupidity, I realize that your silly little blog means nothing. While I have not read the comments thoroughly, I have not noticed a single post with positive things to say about your thinking. And for this, I am greatfull.

I am using a literary device here and I guess it flew over your heads. Often words in the English language have more than one definition. As for incest, I do not mean amongst biological family members, I meant it more in the sense of “incestuous”, ie. “Improperly intimate or interconnected.” Regardless of this nonetheless, gay people often refer to their extended social networks as “families” as in the homosexual anthem, “We Are Family”. In both definitions of “incest”, therefore my usage was entirely appropriate and quite vivid.

The fact that someone wrote this with a deliberate and serious tone frightens me. This article is full of generalizations and backed by no scientific evidence whatsoever. I’m quite sure that even if a nonscientific study was performed on the types of girls who typically befriend homosexuals, maybe 3% would fit the mold described in this article. Most women are well adjusted, and part of large and accepting social circles. This is really pathetic, and the author should be ashamed of himself. Parents should teach their children to be accepting, regardless of color, creed or sexual orientation.

Hi, this is not meant to be a science article, rather more advice for parents. Many Christians today have trouble navigating our fast moving culture, with its trends and focus on sex. People seek guidance and expertise. That’s why I write. I have written extensively on the “gay” lifestyle and have many different sources to draw on. I believe this article to be a service to those parents with young girls who are struggling. If you truly believe there is an error or typo, you are more than welcome to bring it to my attention but most of your comment has no relevance whatsoever to the matter at hand.

-leads excursions into the mountains with young boys and no other adult supervision

To Mr. Billings:
Fair enough point that it is not meant to be a scientific article. But as I said, even a nonscientific study (i.e.: interviewing people on the street) would show that you are stereotyping and over-generalizing both the homosexual population as well as the female population. I feel that protecting children and “informing parents” means just that: you need to provide them with accurate, unbiased information to draw their own conclusions from. Although I understand this article is on Christwire and not a news site, I feel you’re doing your own audience a disservice by being so hateful in the name of Christ.
The culture nowadays does navigate towards sex much more than in the past, but you are oversimplifying complex and progressive societal trends if you choose to blame homosexuals solely for this. Additionally, you are concentrating on a very small percentage of the homosexual population, and that is an unfair representation to your readers. You also drew only on sources that agreed with your perspective on the matter.
As a side note, I attended private school for 9 years, so I do not have a hatred against organized religion. I do have a problem with irresponsible journalism however. You talk about girls with low self esteem, then in the same article appear to mock women who have made careers for themselves in certain professions, are in a healthy relationship but not yet married with children by their 30s/40s, or order a certain type of drink. You even go so far to blame these women for possibly making their mothers miserable alcoholics due to their potential lack of offspring that might result from befriending a gay male. You are contributing to the very low self esteem issues you write about by casting this level of judgement.
Negative influences can unfortunately be found in every social circle. Protecting children in my opinion isn’t about presenting partial and biased information to control them. It is to provide them resources to think for themselves and make the right decisions based on what makes them safe and happy. As somebody who was a young girl at one point, I can tell you that gay men were the least of my worries. Most young girls struggle with female peers making fun of them, or heterosexual males ridiculing them to advance their own standing in social circles. If you want to help girls who are struggling, start at the root of the problem, not at a hypothetical situation that affects probably less than a percentage of the female population.

You say Communist China like it’s a bad thing. Here’s my attempt to draw a parallel that you can comprehend:
The United States has always been and still is a republic. We have a certain number of people who are elected to represent the general population in most matters. As a nation, we are represented by a president. Our current one is President Obama. Not everyone likes or wants to be represented by President Obama. This goes to show that the general population is not automatically equated with President Obama.
In the same way, China has a Communist government. It does not make the citizens of China some sort of horrible demonic monsters. Being a Communist citizen is like being either a Republican or a Democratic citizen in the US; it’s just simply who has been in power and it has no impact on daily life. As a matter of fact, health care, groceries, restaurant food, basically everything is much cheaper in China. It would be a wonderful place to retire and move to for its potential day to day convenience and low expense.
Don’t throw these big overarching labels onto things so easily; any form of government is hypothetically acceptable, it’s just the people who run it that will cause corruption.
Your ignorance and prejudice terrifies me. You might try to engage the more “female” aspect of your brain and learn another language; it’s not too terribly hard and it really creates an understanding, fascination, and appreciation of other cultures and their differences.

This is by far the best, most elucidating expository text I have ever read on the intersection of gay and heterosexual lifestyles. I have seen lives destroyed first hand in the movies, and I have read about them being destroyed first hand in fictional novels. You might say, “those don’t sound like first hand sources” and to that i would reply “I am keeping the gays out of my life as much as possible, this is as first hand as it gets for me.” This is serious stuff.

I have a few gay male friends, and lived with a man I wasn’t dating for a couple months. I was socially out-casted in high school, and had terrible acne.
Now I am extremely intelligent, in Graduate school, absolutely fucking gorgeous and had no trouble at all being attracted to the man I’ve been serious with for a year and a half.
I must have sold my soul or something, because from your blatant concern for children (that doesn’t reek of extreme homophobia at all), scientific facts, and blatant disregard for others culture and lifestyle in ‘the name of Absolute Truth,’ it sounds like I should be old, haggard and living with my cats (which, by the way, are probably offended that you even concerned them in this far fetched and pitiful attempt at a fairy tale).
Or it could honestly be that you’re picking on women socially awkward during a socially awkward time of their lives (along with blaming both genders that don’t fit into their domestic and suppressive stereotypes) and using it to blame something you don’t understand. But this is mostly because you’ve never wanted to in the first place; you are the type of person to make outcasts out of these ‘faghags’ in the first place for not being absolutely ‘perfect’ in your twisted idea of society.

The perils that young women face? Like their parents tarting them up like little streetwalkers (aka “wearing popular clothing styles”)?

That’s right, only rely on a man for everything instead of being a strong, independent woman. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

“I really can’t impress on parents enough the necessity of being involved in their children’s lives, watching what they watch on tv, monitoring their internet usage just as in the old days we used to.”
That is good advice. The schlock you posted above, however, is not.
First, I would like to point out how ridiculous it is that you suggest that a teenage girl who is uncomfortable talking about her acne is on drugs! She’s more likely uncomfortable because her parent is pointing out something that she is already sensitive about!
Second, when I first read this article I thought it was a parody. Why? Because this article reads like it is penned by a closeted gay man, not a concerned hetero Christian dad. You know a lot more about chest waxing than any gay man I know, and I live in New York City!
If we really want to raise our children under a good Christian example, we don’t need to be telling them that their friends will carry them all the way to hell. Instead, encourage them to make positive contacts in their church or community, to study the Word and seek out friends who have Christ-like attributes. Engage them in discourse about their interests and friends instead of bashing them. And dont fall prey to stereotypes – I promise if you are a good Dad, you’d rather your daughter hang out with a gay guy that is kind and long suffering than a straight one that treats her like dirt.

I think it’s important to be involved in all aspects of a child’s life. How would have turned out had your mother taken her eyes off you and let you wander in the streets and meet strange men in parks? Believe me there are just as many indifferent mothers today as in the past– they’d rather have a cigarette and a high ball with the handyman than take the time to teach their sons something about morality and decency and what sorts of role models are these pushing their husbands for a new car, a convertible for instance, so they can cruise around town in tight tops while their dear husbands slave away for the money to make the car payments all the while they’re tapping their cigarette ash in coffee cups and sleeping in front of the tv, gameshows and chatty neighborhood women who make fun of those who go to church. I just dont think we have really climbed out of the past, of that 70s mentality of sexaual promiscuity and men being shortchanged and all the roots of liberlism are coming home to roost today with the programs advocating for special gay rights and trying to deny Christians the right of free speech despite everything we have contributed to this country, everything we have done, so much work just to bring love and faith to the lives of all those who suffer and even if they’ve sinned and are immoral we’re there with open arms saying Come Back to Church and We Still Love You but they just want to run away from you, act like you’re crazy or something so they can drink rum all day and watch game shows and reruns and I dont think most people release this is what MORAL DECLINE tastes like.As I said before, It is a slippery slope, my friend.

Then the mother would be a total dumbass. Oh wait, you’re referring to children as anyone under 30. Then you don’t have a clue as to what the fuck you’re talking about. There’s being involved and making sure the child doesn’t screw up their life, and then there’s sheltering them, preventing them from being fully functional human beings. YOU, dumbass, are in favor of sheltering someone until they’re well past the legal age to drink. People have to learn to make their own decisions and make their own minds up. You can’t make up the decisions of others, no matter how hard you try.

Ok, what the fuck are you smoking, or where the fuck have you been? What woman does that? ESPECIALLY when in this day and age, BOTH parents have to work in order to pull any sort of income.

//I just dont think we have really climbed out of the past, of that 70s mentality of sexaual promiscuity and men being shortchanged and all the roots of liberlism are coming home to roost today with the programs advocating for special gay rights and trying to deny Christians the right of free speech despite everything we have contributed to this country, everything we have done, so much work just to bring love and faith to the lives of all those who suffer and even if they’ve sinned and are immoral we’re there with open arms saying Come Back to Church and We Still Love You but they just want to run away from you, act like you’re crazy or something so they can drink rum all day and watch game shows and reruns and I dont think most people release this is what MORAL DECLINE tastes like.//
Fuck, you don’t know anything about grammar, do you? If that isn’t a run on sentence, I don’t know what is. 1. You aren’t saying you love people, you’re saying the exact opposite and that everyone should just burn. 2. For all the good religion, and Christianity in particular, there’s also an incredible amount of terrible things done, all in the name of God, a God who would incinerate those people for bastardizing his name. Don’t you sit there like a damn king, thinking you’re some kind of holy being when you’re just as guilty as anyone else of any other crime or sin. Christians aren’t ‘holy’ beings in the least, and how dare you claim to be one when you don’t practice what you preach, you lie, you cast your sins on others, you misinterpret everything, you don’t bother explaining your actions, you run away when confronted, you damn everything, and you act as if humanity should judge themselves when your own bible states that only God has that right. YOU ARE AN INSULT TO CHRISTIANS EVERYWHERE! There have been a number of Christians here ALONE that have pointed out how un-Christian like you are. You’re nothing but a zealot, a bastard, and slime. You claim all your enemies are liberals, atheists, and gays. Buddy, when half a dozen other religions, and a good number of your own, are calling bullshit, and when Republicans are calling bullshit, you should probably just kill yourself. You don’t bother doing any research, you lie and sin. You are a perfect representation of Lucifer. Yahweh will damn you faster than you can think. Fuck, is there a circle of hell for people like you?

Hello,
I happened to stumble on this for the first time when my friend sent me a link to another article. I consider myself Christian. While I disagree with this article, I do want to ask you a question simply because I’m genuinely interested to know your answer.
Why are you so against homosexuality? And I would prefer if you didn’t just give me the typical “God says its a sin in the Bible” because I’m sure even you can recognize that the Bible has been translated and re-translated over hundreds of years. There have been sections taken out and information erased. So, I genuinely want to know why homosexuality is considered so wrong?
I love God and what He stands for and I believe that God is, first and foremost, love. When I think of him, I do not think of “sin” and “judgment”, I think of “love” and “acceptance”. I can understand why He says we should not kill because it ends a life and causes pain toward others. I can understand why He says that we should not bare false witness because we really cannot function as a society if no one tells the truth. And, yes, I can even understand why He does not want us to commit adultery because abstinence does reduce unwanted/early pregnancies and spread STDs.
However, why would he condemn love? Shouldn’t we try to encourage all of the love that we can in a world where there is so much hatred and violence? Isn’t there enough intolerance toward people of different ethnicity, gender, age, sexuality, etc.?
I, too, am what you call a “fag hag”. You can say what you will about us because, yes, you have a right to your own opinions and beliefs but I am sorry if you feel this way about us. Because you do not seem to understand the love that I share with my best friend and the love that he gives to other people. Does he influence me? Yes, probably as much as my other friends do. Do I depend on him? To an extent but, again, no more than I do on my other friends. Does his influence give me more “masculine” habits? Well, it depends on what you define as masculine.
Instead, I would say that knowing him has opened doors for me to understand the kind of person I could be, if I wanted to be that person. But, then again, all of my friends do that, not just my gay friends. All of my friends influence me in some way. Pointing out one characteristic in some of my friends, such as those who are “homosexual”, to list the “negative” influences they have over me is rather pointless. You could just as easily single out brunettes and probably make close to the same argument. Every person has both a “negative” and a “positive” influence on everyone, especially on children.
Of course, now there’s the question over whether these “negative” consequences of having a gay friend are truly “negative”, but I won’t get into that because it would take longer and I’m sure you’ve already heard an earful from many other people. Suffice to say that basically putting that girls who have gay best friends will end up lonely with no self-esteem is a pretty shallow claim that probably cannot even be proven with proper scientific research. To me, it just seems like you are trying to place more blame on the gay population and isolate them even farther.
From your articles that I’ve read that are based on homosexuality, I feel that you don’t understand love in relation to the people you call “homosexuals”. I sincerely hope that you do not approach people with the constant question of “are they homosexual?” to judge if you can befriend them because if you are, then you are missing out on a lot of love.
And no, I’m not talking about the “incestuous” kind of love. I’m talking about the love that our Lord, Jesus, spread to everybody. And when I mean everybody, I mean EVERYBODY, not just those who are straight.
Thanks for listening and I would appreciate your opinion,
Sky

Beyond the Biblical, homosexuality represents the very lowest of what society can achieve. These are men (talking of the gay man here), who see fit to turn themselves in courtesans, prettying up their bodies in expensive and tight clothes and “manscaping”, they gel their hair and wear creams on their faces and smile outrageously at any heterosexual they meet on the street.
Their lust for straight men in unnerving and eats away at my very core. It’s as if they want to reach out and touch you every where they way they look at your or jump you for a chat in some corner of the internet, always asking everything about you and your clothes and what your body looks like and what your hobbies are– and yes I do that, but I don’t mean like the way I do it, I mean in this slick and slimy way where you both know they just want to get in your pants and even though you tell them you’re straight they persist and persist, trying to lure you off somewhere or break you down, weaken and exhaust you so they can jump you in your tent or the living room couch, believe me if I haven’t seen it many times before I’ve heard about it happening enough to know.
And these men, why must they keep at us straight guys? We are uncomfortable around it, it’s eerie and not right. Say I go to the steam room at the Y, why do the men there have to sneak looks at each other when I sit down? Or maybe they stop some secret fondling when I approach or then it’s the guys who drop their towels “by mistake” and it was all over the place when I was younger in the 70s, this is how the gay man operated, hanging out in public toilets of all places! Toilets! Do you know what I use a toilet for? Well, I’d rather no one know because that’s my business and when your privacy is invaded by some guy peeping through the space in the barrier or through the screwholes where the toilet paper roll used to be it’s scary, makes you clench and I am afraid of rest stops now and those steam rooms and the Y and public parks and everything because the game man is like a locust, just spreading out everywhere even here in Tennessee where i thought I was safe, but guess what? No, they are here too always chekcing out other men and sneaking off into bathroom stalls… I mean people defecate in those places, isn’t that wrong to use it as a space for hardcore sex?
I’m sorry if I haven’tanswered your question, it’s not the right time of day for me but I do have my reasons and they are personal but in a larger, much larger way I have my Bible and my Faith and there are better, more intelligent answers to the question of homosexuality in there and so to the teachings of Christ and God I will always defer. God bless!

So you think that homosexuality is worse than, say, rape, murder, and pedophilia…? That’s sad.
“and yes I do that, but I don’t mean like the way I do it, I mean in this slick and slimy way”
Uh, no, the way you do it is pretty sick and slimy. I’m sure anyone on here would agree.
“and even though you tell them you’re straight they persist and persist, trying to lure you off somewhere or break you down”
Ahh, you mean like how even though I tell you that no, I don’t want you to come to my house, or no, I don’t want to meet you for coffee, you persist and persist?

Um…i’m straight as an arrow, and I “manscape” – you know what, WOMEN LIKE IT. They like it a LOT. In fact, I have landed far more dates based upon my excellent grooming habits than you’re every likely to experince personally…well, of course I’m attractive and you’re a bit of a troll, now aren’t you
Do you know why women befriend gay men? Because they’re not meatheaded louts like you. They’re sensitive, funny, articulate, and typically some of the nicest people you could be around. They’re generous and know how to listen. So yes, lots of women gravitate towards them…this doesn’t mean the woman isn’t strong minded or that she’s at any sort of risk whatsoever. This means she’s smart enough to pick and choose what people bring out the best qualities in her. If she has the choice between a “manly” bigot like you, and an effeminate homosexual who treats her with respect – guess which choice makes better sense.
Oh, and now for Bible lesson time…the only mention of homosexuality being anything even remotely like a “sin” (which it is not), is in the OLD TESTAMENT. Specifically Leviticus…but in that same chapter, they tell you not to mix fabrics, or eat shellfish…which means, if you have ever done either, you’re a SINNER. Too bad you “Christians” don’t know your own religion well enough to know the actual context in which this stuff was written. The word “abomination” is not the same as “sin”. They were speaking SPECIFICALLY about JEWISH RITUAL. But of course a walmart “Christian” like yourself wouldn’t be smart enough to know that….you would be far more likely to try and ban a textbook with that type of information.
Your opinion, article, and person are laughable at best, and terrifying at worst, because some people probably believe this garbage.

Mr. Billings,
You used a photo in the article of Eric Nies, a straight man who gained his fame from being a cast member on the first season of the Real World (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Nies). This is just one of the many inconsistencies in your article.
You claim to be a journalist, but the whole objective of journalism is to be balanced and fair – that’s journalism 101. Your OPINION COLUMN has nothing based on fact. What frightens me is that there are Christians who read your retorts/rants and take them as God’s spoken word, so to speak. Your uninformed column is full of hate and over-generalizations that are offensive not only to homosexuals, but to women. The concerned mother who wrote the letter to you should be offended.
I am so proud that I have Christian parents who are far more tolerant and treat people as people – isn’t that what the bible tells you to do? Love thy neighbor? Hate the sin, love the sinner?
But for the sake of comedy, which this article was hilarious, I hope you’re trying to be funny.

To quote the couple on Modern Family, ‘Who hurt you?’
This is the biggest bunch of biased, un-researched bulls–t I have ever read. So much so that, against my better judgement, I am sharing to all my friends so hopefully they can laugh at your banal, out of touch, and bat-sh@*t crazy article.
The homosexual is not only health conscious, in tune with the sensitivities of both man and woman, but in this case also educated. The homosexual has taken the time to go to college and strengthen his god-given oratory and literary talents so if called upon, he can offer a retort to the silly ramblings of The Stephenson Billings a fantastic pseudonym that The Homosexual would place on par with Mark Twain.
The Stephenson Billings is like an abused animal. Cowering, confused, afraid of the unwarranted abuse they receive and perplexed as to why they receive it. They will certainly be loyal out of sheer fear of what would happen should they question authority. Make no mistake, The Stephenson Billings does not know right from wrong, and cannot be called upon for defense or support as ever fiber in their being only knows fear and acts only in a way as to allay their fear, although no ‘fear-act’ will ever rid them of this plague. Yes, the Stepehnson Billings is something to pity; a lost soul, a life wasted in confusion and angst, a person on a path to no redemption in this life or the next.

1) I think you’re getting all your information about gay men from Sex and the City. Believe it or not, there are gay men who *gasp* don’t go clubbing! Or, *gasp* want to settle down. Just as not all heterosexual men are interested in sports or beer, not all gay men are interested in getting drunk every night. Have you ever actually met any gay people? Or are your “sources” heresay.
2) Even more offensive than your gross generalizations of gays is your gross generalizations about what women should be doing with themselves. Parents should clean up their daughters’ skin so that she can “live up to their expectations?” It’s good to know that the parents that read your column have no greater expectation for their daughters than that they land a husband. I’m shocked that in this day and age people still think that the only thing that women are on the planet to do is get married and have babies. That we have nothing else to contribute. It’s sad. And I feel bad for the daughters of any of your readers who take this seriously.
3) I am a heterosexual female with both gay and lesbian friends. While I enjoy their company – and have since high school – it doesn’t prevent me from meeting or enjoying men. And I don’t know any “fag hag” for whom that’s the case. Yes, women and gay men share similar interests sometimes, but not all gay men are the same, not all straight women are the same, and I promise you that most of them are not as weak-minded as you make them out to be in your ill-informed and mean spirited column.
I doubt that Christ would support a rant that so visciously slanders an entire group of people simply to push an agenda, even if that agenda is supposedly on His behalf.

Hi Theresa, well thank you for your input. The great thing about the internet is that you get to hear from all sorts of people, and even those who are simply not that impressive or relevant, can leave an impression. You love Stephen Colbert? Let me guess, you’re a pre-packed liberal who goes to parties on weekends where you love to express how incredulous you are about Sarah Palin, just like everyone else around you. You find comedy in the comfortable 30 minute sitcoms on NBC– 30 Rock, Parks & Recreation– and then sometimes have a single glass of red wine to fall asleep. When you were younger you spent all your time on the phone, but now it’s Facebook. You don’t want to admit to yourself that you’re aging but it comes out some nights when you’re too drunk, hanging on the arm of some man who doesn’t want you but you don’t stop, clawing at him until you finally break down in a pathetic pool of tears because that always got you what you wanted as a child. Yes, you are headed down the wrong track in life. Yes, you are pathetic.
Frankly, I don’t care for Colbert. He’s a fraud. He doesn’t even pretend to be a conservative, just a silly man. These day’s he’s just phoning it in and you cretins think he’s some sort of hero. Wake up. Do you even understand the anger behind the Tea Party movement? Why we march and protest? Do you think it’s so wrong to want to make this country a better place, to demand fiscal responsibility in Washington and some decent family values in our government?

Hello Theresa, thank you for your input but I do have a few words for you. The great thing about the internet is that you get to hear from all sorts of people, and even those who are simply not that impressive or relevant, can leave an impression. You love Stephen Colbert? Let me guess, you’re a pre-packed liberal who goes to parties on weekends where you love to express how incredulous you are about Sarah Palin, just like everyone else around you. You find comedy in the comfortable 30 minute sitcoms on NBC– 30 Rock, Parks & Recreation– and then sometimes have a single glass of red wine to fall asleep. When you were younger you spent all your time on the phone, but now it’s Facebook. You don’t want to admit to yourself that you’re aging but it comes out some nights when you’re too drunk, hanging on the arm of some man who doesn’t want you but you don’t stop, clawing at him until you finally break down in a pathetic pool of tears because that always got you what you wanted as a child. Yes, you are headed down the wrong track in life. Yes, you are pathetic.
Frankly, I don’t care for Colbert. He’s a fraud. He doesn’t even pretend to be a conservative, just a silly man. These day’s he’s just phoning it in and you cretins think he’s some sort of hero. Wake up. Do you even understand the anger behind the Tea Party movement? Why we march and protest? Do you think it’s so wrong to want to make this country a better place, to demand fiscal responsibility in Washington and some decent family values in our government?

Let me guess, Billings, you are a pre-packed conservative who goes to prayer groups on weekends where you love to express how incredulous you are about Stephen Colbert, just like everyone else around you. You find comedy in the comfortable 30 minute sitcoms on FoxNews – Hannity, The O’Reilly Factor – and then sometimes have a carton of chocolate ice cream to fall asleep. When you were younger you spent all your time lurking around the playground, but now it’s Facebook. You don’t want to admit to yourself that you’re aging, but it comes out some nights when you’re too stoned off all the bible-page joints you’ve been smoking with underage children, gripping the small arm of a little boy who doesn’t want you but you don’t stop, clawing at him until you finally break down in a pathetic pool of tears because nobody loves you and your mother is an indifferent alcoholic who only gets visits from the local crack addicts. Yes, you are headed down the wrong track in life. Yes, you are pathetic.
“Frankly, I don’t care for Colbert. He’s a fraud.”
Well then, you two have that in common.
“Do you even understand the anger behind the Tea Party movement? Why we march and protest?”
I understand that the “Tea Party Movement” is an insult to a critical part of America’s history that took place here in Boston.

Mr. Billings
I read your article thoroughly and, frankly, I am dumb founded. I didn’t get through all the comments, I found the constant outrage and your inadequate answers simultaneously irritating and mind numbing, so bear with me.
Many people asked for you to present evidence to support your claims and one of your replies to this request was “this is not meant to be a science article, rather more advice for parents.” and, correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe this summarizes your opinion on this question throughout your comments.
For any serious journalism I have read the researcher always finds valid sources to back up their claims prior to publishing. Yet you have not done this, so I ask: Billings, why do you think, that you should be giving advice to parents on topics you have no evidence to support your opinions on? Especially concerning a topic as important as parenting, you should at least define for your readers what is supportable fact and what is your opinion. You’re article is ludicrously presented like fact when, in fact, you have no supporting facts at all.
Now, I would like to give you two examples of the gay men present in my life as an illustration of how the stereotypes you utilize, while they may apply to a small percentage of the gay population, are not what all gay men are.
My Aunt has wanted a baby for a long time now. It turns out her husband is infertile and her best friend from high school, a gay man, volunteered to be a sperm donor for my Aunt and her husband. This gay man is a member of an airline company, (he is stable financially and leads a non crazy life style), wants to HELP my Aunt procreate, and in no way prevented her from getting married or wanting children. (My Aunt is now a married(obviously) woman and a successful teacher. She has been in no way harmed through her friend with stated gay man.)
My second example: I have a very good friend who is a gay man. He’s just graduated from high school and is a responsible house sitter(he’s been hired by different people through out the summer: obviously they don’t fear him throwing crazy sex parties while they’re away), was one of the top debaters on the debate team(a very intellectual and masculine group to be a part of), one of the ONLY people on that team that chose to NOT partake in the consumption of drugs or alcohol that took place on almost all their debate trips, and is going to a technical college in Texas because he has been involved with science and mechanics for years. I actually read this article because he posted it on my best friends Facebook wall as a joke. (He was my best friend’s debate partner.) He’s one of the kindest people I’ve ever met and is a support for everyone in his life. Can you see any harm in him?
As someone who wants to pursue a career in editing and hopes to one day be a published author, it pains me to see, not only poorly constructed literary works online, but also ones that are so blatantly biased and baseless in fact. (I have also read some of your other articles over the past few days)
I would love to think that some of the more rational arguments in the previous comments would have an affect on your mindset but, after reading some of your responses to comments and how they don’t address many of the points in said comments, I doubt that you’re really seeing the possibility that your opinions could be wrong.
If you read this far in my comment I courteously request that you respond to ALL my points, not just the comfortable and easily answered ones.

Hi Sarah, if you’re interested in being a writer you could always apply for an internship with me, though I would hope your ideals align with my Christians ones (its non-paying, though I’d like help maintaining a Facebook account and maybe a Facebook fansite, also my email correspondence, etc. Send me an email, my address is above).
Well, back to your point. Certainly there are exceptions to what I describe because there are so many men living the gay lifestyle today. The one boy you mentioned is young, so you never know what he may grow up to become. Otherwise, yes I have witnessed many gay men engaging in the worst sorts of things. For more on the particulars of the gay lifestyle, I suggest reading the Family Research Council’s important phamphlet “Top Ten Myths About Homosexuality” which you can download free of charge here: http://www.frc.org/brochure/the-top-ten-myths-of-homosexuality
As for my methods and the veracity of my work, I take great effort to insure the truth I speak is in line with Biblical teaching. I am glad when it touches people. I know some of the truths in here hurt, but there will aid you more than you know in the long run. Do not buy into the homosexual propaganda all over the internet. The “myth of the happy homosexual” is certainly a myth.
God bless and stay strong!

sorry but this is soo not true. being a gay man and knowing many gay people, the my fag hags (yes i have more than one) are nothing that this piece says. How about people go out in the real gay world and see what a fag hag really is to a gay man. many hags get married, many of them were not outcast, none of mine and no one else has ever left their hag out of anything especially when its a boy. a fag hag to gay men is something more than a best friend. go out and see for yourself and u will find this to actually not be true.

Stephen, I think maybe you should stick to the children’s party entertainer gig, or maybe the soda bottle collecting and leave the investigative journalism to…well…journalists. I won’t even begin to tear apart this hilarious excuse for an article except to say that maybe if you’d spent less time trying to lead up to advertising hyperlinks and more time actually getting to know a few gay men and/or their female friends you’d have written something that actually sounds like you know what you’re talking about.
I actually WOULD offer some advice to the parents of this young woman, assuming this was an actual email you received and not just an excuse to demonize gay people. I’d say it sounds like this young woman’s friends are young and immature. It doesn’t say how old she is or how old her friends are but it sounds to me pretty typical of the behavior of many early 20-somethings who move to big cities…gay or straight, Christian or not.
I’m sorry to hear that her parents were treated so rudely. These guys do sound like they have some growing up to do, but it has more to do with their treatment of others and of themselves than it does with their homosexuality. I’d suggest they DO talk with their daughter about their concerns about her friends, that maybe it’s an opportunity for her to show them what a Christian is by encouraging them to take a look at the way they’re treating themselves, each other, and other people around them.
Some gay people, and it sounds like this young woman’s friends are among them, fall into a pattern of promiscuity and self-centeredness because they feel abused by society, particularly at the hands of Christians. (Your article, Stephen, doesn’t help this situation.) I’ve known many “fag-hags” as you call them who live very happy lives and many of whom ultimately DO get married and have children…and are blessed with the friendship of some really great gay friends. I’d suggest the parents encourage their daughter to focus on showing these guys what a true friend, and a true Christian is.

It wasn’t my intention to have you validate any of that paragraph. The only reason for it was to show that we can make assumptions about you just as you can about us.
