Dear Abby:

I have reason to believe that a young man in my family may be gay (he is 15).

I have been thinking a lot about it lately, and have been wondering if circumcision would cure it. What do you think?

Dear Missouri Grandmother:

Homosexuality is not an illness, and therefore there is no need for a "cure." I predict that your family will be happier if you accept your relative exactly the way he is, love him, support him, and stop trying to think of ways to cure him.

P.S. Circumcision is a sacred rite of the Jewish religion. If your theory were valid, then there would be no Jewish homosexuals. And yet, among the successful, gay, Jewish men who are "out" are Harvey Fierstein, Michael Feinstein, Barney Frank, Isaac Mizrahi and David Geffen — to name a few.

Dear Grandmother in Missouri

If you are looking for a cure, I think you'll find that castration and amputation of the penis will go a long way towards a one. If this is not fully effective, perhaps sewing up the anus and the addition of a stoma bag will help. To be on the safe side a masectomy could be performed. However, I think there might still be some residual symptons if the young man insists on using his tongue to kiss. Your optician will be able to provide him with spectacles and special lenses to prevent him from looking at other young men.

I trust you will find these suggestions helpful.

I dream of boys with big bulges in their trousers,
Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.

…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.

This seems a bit extreeme.....



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...
Seems a bit extreme…  [message #32739 is a reply to message #32738] Sat, 10 June 2006 11:07 Go to previous message
