I felt I had been robbed of a second home & the joy of being able to switch between the two.

I also called my parents by their first names, & it was very later on that I learned to apply them labels due to their standing in the familial hierarchy. At least my father got that right, he kept my mother bare-foot & pregnant in the kitchen.

I live in Brighton, which must be the most politically correct place in the whole of Britain. It has a large gay community and was the first place to have a gay wedding last month.
Instead of the usual Christmas tree outside the town hall and registry office, there was just a rainbow (gay) flag flying. So I feel the whole gay rights thing has gone too far now, and the traditional family is put in second place even though it's been well proven to be the best way to bring up children.
