Ten Reasons To Feel Lucky To Have A Gay Son

Some say there's at least one-in-ten chance that a boy will grow up gay. For those parents who need a reason to feel lucky to have a gay son, here are ten:

1. Whatever he does, he'll do it best.
2. He'll be a good son, especially in your old age.
3. He'll be an interesting conversationalist, an excellent addition to parties.
4. Either he or his lover will be a fabulous cook and a great host for the holidays.
5. He'll always be available when you need him.
6. He'll buy you thoughtful and tasteful gifts. (He knows the trends and the stylish things.)
7. He'll clue you in to the latest restaurants, plays, movies, and celebrity gossip.
8. He'll be handy (and free) consultant for weddings, parties, decorating and wardrobe.
9. No danger of disagreeable daughter-in-laws.
10. When he's older, he'll never be lonely, because for years he'll have cultivated a wide circle of close, caring friends.

If this list makes straight readers wish they had a gay relative, take heart: You probably do.
