I have gay and straight male friends, and within my social circle, I can’t say any of our gay friends touch us inappropriately. Touch and boundaries is based on how well one knows another person. I would not be offended by any male in my circle putting his arm around me, but if it is someone I barely know, I would not welcome such a touch. Same be it a female, gay or straight. Even gay men in the proverbial circle know not to touch another’s thighs, knees, breasts, etc. Same goes for the women. Basically, the women in question more than likely know the gay man is not hitting on them.

I don’t hear that concern too often, and I have worked with the public in crisis for nearly two decades. Where and when I hear comments tend to be when someone is single, has 5 or more children, receives AFDC, an SSI check for themselves and several children, Food Stamps, Section 8 Housing, Medicaid with no copays or deductibles, & government day care. This problem is rampant in the South and is a huge tax burdon. The ‘Welfare to Work’ concept has huge faults. But more to the question is: Why was high school not finished? Where are the job skills? Is the mom (or dad) willing to earn their respective GED and head on to vocational training? Where are the fathers and why are they not paying child support? How can we break the cycle of generations of a family living off the government? I came from a large family and no one ever said anything negative about the size of the family. But then again, no government money was used to help raise us. Times are very different now. Fiscally, the U.S. is presently at an all-time low for those living in poverty and those that are middle class. It is best not to pass judgment, especially if you do not know the family in question’s situation.
