Parents are considered as the most influential people to their kids. However, some tend to be distant to one of their parents, and closer to the other. Sons are usually closer to their moms and are somehow hostile to their dad. On the other hand, daughters are more attached to their fathers and are unfriendly towards their mothers. These cases are common to the society and is subconsciously neglected when related to our sexuality. Does these phenomenon really affect our sexual preference?
Searching for a relevant topic, I came across with an article entitled, Childhood Experiences of Homosexual Men, written by Mr. Dale O'Leary. It was about different studies done to male subjects - both homo and heterosexual. "Bieber found that the fathers of the homosexual patients were not just lazy or too-busy; these detached fathers exhibited severe male-rivalry problems which they took out on their sons. Not one of these detached fathers favored the patient over his brothers or sisters. Some of the relationships were totally barren, but in a larger number of cases the fathers actively rejected, minimized or otherwise crushed their sons' masculinity. These boys not only feared their fathers, they hated them for abandoning them to their mothers smothering influences," the writer said.
Same case is also evident to a daughter. Being rejected by a mother, a girl is inclined to look for maternal love from other females, resulting to homosexuality. Sons or daughters look for someone who can satisfy their need for attention and care due to the absence of their parent of the same sex.
Everyone knows that parents most affect the upbringing or individuality of a person. Some reject their kids because of their sexuality, not thinking if it was a result of their shortcomings. Without knowing it, parents take a great part in sexual discrimination This post's main point is not to turn down or criticize parents, but to be an eye-opener, and make people understand why most of the homosexuals are broken-spirited or crushed.
