"Is my 13-year-old son gay?"
The April 10 edition of Cary Tennis' Salon.com advice column, "Since You Asked," features a remarkable response to a parent's concern that his son is looking at gay porn online. I found this on OMG blog. I have never read "Since You Asked" before. I know nothing about Cary Tennis. But I think this is a really helpful way to think about the homo/hetero divide and, as Frank points out, a good way to think about anyone who is not like oneself.

that was a wonderful posting. i like that he took it so seriously, and gave it some space, and i love this graf:
A posture of utter humility before the mystery and grandeur of life is appropriate. And be cool. It's going to be OK.
the dad's questions just break my heart. he's worried about so much the wrong thing.
