I saw this on Warren Throckmorton’s blog.

Obviously I have no way to absolutely positively confirm that my friend is 100% gay (homosexual), but, for all practical purposes, I’m going to stand by my assessment.

However, I HAVE confirmed that I am 100% gay. So the big question is: If I had allowed myself to succumb to social/religious/family pressures 45 years ago, could I have managed some basic level of functioning with a woman? Possibly. But we will never know because I had/have absolutely no desire to test that theory. I did have a few fleeting series of “dates” with girls in high school and college, but I was knowingly doing what was expected of me by others, not what I wanted for myself.

Just because a guy can function with a woman under duress, doesn’t mean he’s not 100% gay, for all practical purposes. I think the inverse scenario would be similar, but is certainly very uncommon because there is zero social/religious/family pressure to perform homosexually. And then there is the prison-sex phenomenon which adds dimension to the issue.

I have a friend who produced six biological children during 24+ years of marriage, and then walked away to finally live his gay truth. And trust me, every indication is that he is 100% gay.

I don’t think so. :)

(I’m assuming by “100% gay” you mean exclusively homosexual.)

OK, Alan Chambers had two children, maybe even by actually having sex with his wife. Well, I can have sex and even successfully climax with a female (and I have), but that doesn’t mean I am really into those feelings.

Exactly. I have a friend who produced six biological children during 24+ years of marriage, and then walked away to finally live his gay truth. And trust me, every indication is that he is 100% gay. Then we have groups like Exodus doing everything possible to create more of these sad stories. Obviously, these groups are not directly advocating men walking away from marriages involving children, but the fact remains they promote all the conditions whereby homo side-sex and/or walking away are likely outcomes.

And by the way, my friend is still a father to his children, and supports them.

Let’s let Alan’s life be his life to live as he likes. He says that he is happy and – as I’d prefer that he believe us when we talk about our lives – I’ll believe him.

And it’s irrelevant to us whether or not he really is happy. What matters is whether WE are happy. And we are.

It DOES get better.

These men saved the lives of their children and kept otherwise separated sibling sets together.
Heroic on their part.

amen

But to be fair, both of Alan Chamber’s kids are adopted.

Yes, that was one of my favourites too. It showed that children will accept gayness in a matter of fact manner and the idea that knowing this will “sexualize” them is bunk.
