Cure for being gay?

By Arnia Kiara Oosthuizen

This Millenium Lady is on her soapbox again!

The other day I read an article, which made me chuckle a bit. A mother asked the doctor for advice on how to cure her son for being gay.

Usually the doctor responds to the question, giving advice, but with this article their whole interaction was printed, which I think was brilliant.

(I am paraphrasing, because unfortunately I didn't get to save the article.)

The mother asked the doctor to help her to cure her son from his gayness, because she already had a sort of arranged marriage for her son. She would love for the two of them to get married soon.

The doctor replied that in order for the son to 'recover', she must be a lesbian for 1 month.

The mother was outraged and said that she had been straight her whole life, how could the doctor expect her to be a lesbian for even a day?

Ha-ha, Oh the irony! The doctor then replied and said that her son is gay, he has been his whole life, how can she expect him to be straight for even one day?

The mother didn't reply after that. I hope she realized that her son is gay and she should accept him for who he is. But the doctor really handled it well and she sure made a good argument.
