I wonder if, as cazzyr initially suggested. You would consider substituting black/asian where she posed gay and lesbian and thus you'd realise just how homo phobic an initial post sounded. Try it: I don't mean to sound ignorant (here goes) but can you also join in with black/asian groups and do fun things together or does that not work if you're balck/asian parents? If it doesn't work is it because the white group does not accept you or because you prefer to stick with like? Sorry, just curious! If you feel comfortable posing a question like this ? I doubt (and hope) most of you would not feel comfortable. So why is it ok to attack , as many of you have done, a gay female for simply wanting to start a playgroup to help her son make sense of a very straight world where he may encounter homophobia?
