    I don’t have such a problem (my spouse is Asian, so it would be odd if I did), but I can pass along something I’ve heard other white women say: Twice I have had white female acquaintances complain about having conversations with Asian men who then asked them out on dates. Their complaint was that they had been enjoying speaking comfortably with a man in a nonsexualized context, which he ‘ruined.’ My take on this is that because Asian men are desexualized in popular stereotype, some white women enjoy socializing with them for the novelty of a platonic (in their minds) interaction with a man.

    The idea that lesbian/gay parents will try to ‘make’ their children share their sexual orientation has been disproven by research. There are many children waiting to be adopted, and the idea that it is better for them to live in institutions or move around from foster home to foster home than for them to be adopted into a loving lesbian or gay family seems terribly wrongheaded to me.
