Writer Uses Her Children to Sell Books

Lori Duron, a young mother who has made a living writing, blogging and bragging about raising her two sons in a gender-neutral atmosphere, was taken aback when her ten-year-old son “came out” to her as heterosexual. According to The Daily Mail:

“I’m careful how I phrase things. I ask my oldest son Chase if he thinks anybody in his class is cute. I leave it open so that he can answer honestly,” she wrote in the essay.

After a number of such interactions, she got an unexpected response from Chase.

“Mom, I’m straight. It’s time you faced the facts,” Chase said.

“I know what you’re doing. You always leave it open, like I could be gay. But I’m not,” he continued.

“OK, but you know that if you were gay or are gay, that is totally cool too, right?'” Mrs Duron responded.

Notice how even in the last sentence, she still could not let it go! She is so obsessed with “being open” that her own son seems to feel like his mother thought he should embrace homosexuality. Actually, it seems he feels she was pushing him in that direction!

To truly wrap your head around this woman’s (and her husbands) sickness, you have to read the complete post she wrote on the Huffington Post.

I’m not sure it’s sickness so much as greed. As you point out, they were selling a story.

I read it and you are both right. The woman is greedy, but she is sick, too.

And to appreciate fully the sickness of The Huffington Post, read the article headers captioned on the sidebar:

“Right-Wing Pastor Gives Horrifying Command to Christian Guests Attending Gay Weddings.”

“Westboro Church to be Part of Drag Show, Whether They Like It or Not!”

“Authors Quit, Claim DC Comics Won’t Allow Batwoman’s Lesbian Wedding.”

… and so forth.

Keep in mind that it is very easy to see that this woman NEVER wanted to raise “straight” children to begin with and that is why we can see her homo-chauvinist, religion-like obsession with raising any child (boy or girl) she gave birth to as “homosexual” and “gender-confused!!!!”

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is also how gay and lesbian so-called “parents” raise “their” pets (children) as well because they also don’t like the idea of adopting “born straight” children either!!!!

In the article, the writer refers to her 6-year-old’s “sexuality.” How can anyone think of a 6-year-old as having a sexuality? A 6-year-old. It makes my skin crawl.

A while back, I posted about an experience I had when a homosexual college classmate asked me if I would edit his proposal for his master’s thesis. This was about 10 years ago.

His proposed thesis was to produce a series of videos teaching sex techniques to children. According to him, babies should start having sex encounters right after birth.

There is an LGBT organization–a powerful one, with offices in the United Nations building–that is lobbying to have the age of consent lowered to 12. They won’t stop there, of course, until they get it down to age newborn. They have at least one Supreme Court justice, Sandra Day O’Connor, on their side.

This article makes it horrifyingly clear that they have parents ready to get on board with the idea, too.

Jane adds:

Lori Duron is way beyond a “a young mother who has made a living writing, blogging and bragging about raising her two sons in a gender-neutral atmosphere.”

According to Time magazine:

Lori Duron’s blog RaisingMyRainbow.com is the first to chronicle raising a gender-nonconforming child and has had more than one million readers in nearly 170 countries. She has been named one of BlogHer’s 2011 and 2012 “Voices of the Year” and is one of Ignite Social Media’s “100 Women Bloggers You Should be Reading.” Her book, Raising My Rainbow: Adventures in Raising A Fabulous, Gender Creative Son, has just been published. She lives with her husband and two children in Orange County, California.
