I found this thread on a different forum and since it is so quiet here, I thought I would see your thoughts.
Our marriage ministry is on the topic of parenting. Right now we're talking about parenting through the teen years and the topic of homosexuality came up. We discussed a book; A Parent's Guide to Preventing Homosexuality
Here's some infoHow Parents Can Prevent Homosexuality, Part 1
By Joseph Nicolosi, Ph.D., and Linda Ames Nicolosi
A woman is, but a man must become. Masculinity is risky and elusive. It is achieved by a revolt, from a woman, and it is confirmed only by other men.
--Camille Pagilia, Lesbian activist
At the very heart of the homosexual condition is conflict about gender. In the boy, we usually see a gender wound tracing back to childhood. He comes to see himself as different from other boys.
Gender woundedness usually exists as a silent, secret fear—one that the boy's parents and loved ones only vaguely suspect. The boy has felt this way for as long as he is able to remember. That differentness creates a feeling of inferiority and isolates him from other males
In addition to the Big Talk, have you ever had a discussion about your feelings about homosexuality with your pre teen? Do you think homosexuality can or should be prevented?
IMO, I'm sceptical of the science behind this book-but there are whole ministries devoted to homosexual recovery-so maybe it is possible???
Now, I don't believe in this. Homosexuality cannot be prevented, just like hetereosexuality cannot be taught. Nor should it be. Your thoughts?
