In the UK we have a fad for reality TV shows that show the most appalling parents receiving help from "supernannies" in learning how to raise what appear to be "troublesome children".

Without exception the child is trying to survive in a home that has incompetent, imbecilic or downright insane parents.

It struck me that some of these poor kids must also be embryo litte gay and lesbian adults. And it terrified me that they were in such awful "loving" homes.

The ones we see on TV are the tip of the iceberg and are "entertaining". I doubt other appalling parents can even see themselves in the examples we are shown. So how do the rest of the kids cope? And how especially do the embryo "different" kids cope?
