"as if she was a trendy pet dog ..."
By Diogenes (articles ) | March 07, 2006 9:22 AM
Psychologist Gerard van den Aardweg offers a professional close-up perspective on counterfeit families.
The emotional ties of persons with a homosexual complex to their parents remain as they were in childhood and adolescence: dependence on the mother, aversion, contempt, fear or indifference toward the father in the male; often ambivalent feelings as to the mother and (less often) emotional dependence on the father in the female. Such emotional immaturity is further reflected in the fact that not a few homosexuals are not deeply interested in children, in spite of outer appearances, as they are too self-absorbed and want all attention for themselves, as real children do.
For example, a homosexual man who, together with his friend, had adopted a daughter, later confessed that they had done it in order to show off, "as if she was a trendy pet dog; everybody looked at us when we, as ostentatious homosexuals, entered a room with her."
Hence the good people of Boston are baffled by the continued resistance of the Catholic Church to gay adoption: doesn't the Vatican understand what it takes to make a party go?

I know of several couples who had their "one and only" just to show him/her off. Also, how many parents live vicariously through their children? While I am absolutely oppsed to gay adoption, I think we have to acknowledge that this example is not isolated to homosexuals.

Fascinating. And scientifically confirming the adage that homosexual men are not men who act like women, they're men who act like teenage girls.

Why so much resistance to the Church's adoption position among non-gay Bostonians ---- a warped understanding of the parents' role. Heaven is rarely the goal in mind. A baby wanted more by its grandparents than parents. A dressed-up tot paraded to boost a parent's ego. A youngster burdened by a parent who needs a friend and confidant. A teenager manipulated by a parent to become a "mini Me." Unfortunately, a lot of families have much in common with gay couples with children.
