The Lesbian Mom Next Door is Starting the Holidays Right

Like many red-blooded, middle-class American lesbian moms, we spend the month of December decorating, overeating, shopping, visiting relatives and watching holiday television on DVD. We started with a bang December first by watching the original stop-motion Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer at our eleven year-old daughter’s request. She thought it would be a memorable beginning to the 2006 holiday season.

Well, you could say that–we’re not likely to forget that this was the year it was mere seconds into the movie before the social commentary started. The older two were aghast that Donner was so critical of his newborn son, that Santa was red-nosed intolerant, and I couldn’t help pointing out that not only was Hermie a dentist wanna-be, he had clearly been a theatre major in elf college, and with that hair was probably playing for our team. Maybe that was why he would “never fit in.”

This was when my wife suggested we were ruining it for our three year-old (so I shut up and started taking notes), but even he said, “Santa is not a nice guy,” when Santa told Donner he “should be ashamed of himself” because his son was different than all the rest.

And in order to cover their tracks, the outlaw duo has been placing stones in place of the eggs in a ingenious display of trickery.

But kidnapping is a no-no even in the animal world, and zoo keepers have segregated the gay birds from the others during hatching season.

Studies Further Evidence Gay is NOT a Choice

According to the Mercury News:

Compared with straight men, gay men are more likely to be left-handed, to be the younger siblings of older brothers, and to have hair that whorls in a counterclockwise direction.

Researchers are finding common biological traits among gay men, feeding a growing consensus that sexual orientation is an inborn combination of genetic and environmental factors that largely decide a person’s sexual attractions before they are born.

Such findings — including a highly anticipated study this winter — would further inform the debate over whether homosexuality is innate or a choice, an undercurrent of the recent Proposition 8 campaign in which television commercials warned that “schools would begin teaching second-graders that boys could marry boys,” suggesting homosexuality would then spread.

A Consideration of LGBT Rights and the Church

But what is compelling about LGBT rights is precisely the opposite of his depiction of feminism - being LGBT is NOT a choice. What is natural is beyond human definition (that’s what makes it natural, not cultural). Even in the interview, Rodriguez asserts this dubious claim (albeit what he means by “sexual formation” may differ from what we think of as being an LGBT person, the language he uses does not assert such a difference).

“The possibility that we can form ourselves sexually — even form our sense of what a sex is — sets us apart from the traditional roles we were given by our fathers.”
