I think it has become easier to be gay/lesbian. I also think it has become accepted to blame school and other institutions for this. To say that our youth are so easily swayed is to say that we are surrounded by idiots. The youth of today are more informed than ever, and I am a firm believer that knowledge is power. Even if more information is allowing them to be the person they want to be, isn’t this better than being surrounded by depressed and unhappy people who are living a lie? You and I make choices about our lives every day that we feel are appropriate and the ‘right thing.’ Who are we to judge the choices of others just because they don’t fit our mold?

My mother once told me a funny story: A mother and daughter are in the kitchen making dinner. The daughter is about to place a roast in the oven and the mother directs her to cut both ends off. ‘But why’ the daughter asks. ‘Well, I really don’t know’ the mother replies. ‘Your grandmother always did it, let’s call her and ask’. They proceed to call the grandmother and she replies ‘We had such a small oven when you were a child, a whole roast couldn’t fit in the oven, so I always had to cut the ends off’. So my point is, we often follow custom and tradition without questioning it…we view female circumcision as brutal and barbaric, what difference does gender make? I myself am the mother of a 5 year old uncircumsized son.
