I was working with a religious type who said they can be homosexual they just couldn't act of those feelings.
Nice.
That used to be (and probably still is) my mother's approach. At least she pretty much seemed to accept that homosexuals are born, if you will. I really used to hear the 'God made Adam and Eve and not Adam and Steve' thing, plus comments about how 'dogs don't do it'.
Both of which (if one believes in a god who is creator) are therefore false.
My father's improved a bit, but as I've said before, it's not that many years ago that I was sitting in my parents' living room when my mother said, pretty much out of the blue and with a slightly nervous titter: "Well we know it's wrong, but at least you know what men do, but what do lesbians do?"
I managed to skate over that. In her seventies, if she couldn't think of just a couple of things, then I wasn't going to start broadening her horizons. It's actually rather sad, really.
