This morning I left a contract a bit early, hopped in the truck & flipped on the radio. In the mornings I usually listen to talk radio. In between speakers they play little blurbs from other people. This morning they had a blurb by Dr. James Dobson from Focus on the Family.

In his blurb he was talking about how some people are leaders, & some are followers. He singled out boys who were followers in particular saying that it’s often troubling to mothers to see there little boys getting pushed around because they lack an aggressive nature. He also noted how parents try to make there little boys into men.

Then he made the comment that caught my attention.

We should not try & change these boys into what they are not. We should focus on there strengths & not try to fit them into a box. There created the way they are for a reason & we shouldn’t try to change what God created.













*dramatic pause*












Am I missing something here. The same man who’s pro family & VERY anti gay, lesbian, bisexual is saying we should focus on a persons strengths & NOT try to change them, not try & fit them into a box because that’s the way "God created them…."

I don’t know about the rest of you but I don’t remember looking into a mirror one day & saying “Gee SP, This thing with the ladies is getting a bit boring. I think I’ll try being attracted to guys as well from now on.”

I don’t remember a time, since I was interested in relationships of course, that I wasn’t attracted to both males & females. Dare I make the leap that I was created the way I am. *gasp*

So I pose the question.

Am I the one missing the point? Or is the illustrious Dr. Dobson being a bit self righteous in what he, and of course most all other religious leaders in general, chooses to support as being “good” & demean as being “bad”?
