Today's Gay Advice Request To NYT

Here's the most recent letter sent to New York Times gay advice columnist Steven Petrow:

Dear Civil Behavior: I am a straight suburban mom who is very supportive of my gay teenage son. He’s confident in who he is but he’s also vulnerable to hostile comments from those who might find him too “flamboyant.” Recently he came home from school upset because another gay teenager in his school’s Gay Straight Alliance expressed distaste for flamboyant gay men “because they ruin it for the rest of us.” To my ears that sounds no different from homophobic comments made by his straight peers. It seems to me that the gay community should be supportive of any individual’s expression of sexuality, as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone. Isn’t that what you’ve been fighting for – the right to be who you are and not be forced into someone else’s norm? — Suburban Mom in N.J.
