Default Fox News posts pro-gay article.

My Lesbian Daughter, The Bible And Sex | Fox News

Quote:
My world was rocked to its core the night my 37-year old daughter called to tell me she is gay. Did I run out to find a gay parade to march in? No. It was a painful process for both of us.
In my beating on Heaven’s door, telling God He had to change her, He instead changed me. It seems that He was far more disturbed about my lack of love than He was about her homosexuality. I have had to rethink many things since starting this journey, including some things I knew (or thought I knew) about the Bible.
This is really surprising. It is a good article about a religious mother coming to terms with her daughter being a lesbian, and it's on fox news website.

I read the title of the thread thinking it was a joke. After reading the article I feel like like I've been sucker punched in the face with a porcupine.

When I first saw this I thought that it was some type of messed up prank. Then I realized that it was actually real.

To be fair, they've gotten a little better over the years. They were much worse, say, five years ago.

Yes, nicely done and her kid didn't have to die for her to see the light, unlike many sad stories out there. Her book might be really interesting.

I LOVE this article. What's more, since its on Fox News, there's actually a chance my mom might stumble upon it! =P It would do a lot to see her "balanced and fair" news station saying something positive about her queer kid for once =/
