From the early 1960s to the mid-80s, my husband and I raised our four children, two boys and two girls, in what I would describe as a heterosexual home environment. Knowing virtually nothing about “other” possibilities allowed us to treat all our kids as “straight,” just like ourselves.
It wasn’t until 1984 that we had a heart-rending awakening. Our youngest, at age 16, made an earnest attempt to end his life. We were lucky; he survived.
