Pro Ball Player Honors Lesbian Moms

Wednesday May 4, 2005
Cincinnati Reds pitcher Joe Valentine has come out as a child of lesbian moms. Just in time for Mother's Day, Valentine wanted the world to know that he was raised by two mothers and that he supports gay and lesbian-headed families. "I just wanted to give them some sort of recognition for this," he said. "I feel in my heart they did a great job with me, and I thought it would be nice to just have them see that I appreciated it." Read the full story here.

Hi everyone,I am 16 years old and I really need your advice.From an early age I had an unusual sympathy for beautiful girls but I fell for boys.More than a year ago this sympathy became something stronger…I calm down persuading my self that I was feeling that way because I was extremely friendly with girls or I just wanted to be like them,nothing more.But now things has changed.I cant hide it from my self.I am 99% sure that I am lesbian but this 1% full of doubts drives me crazy.I had just few relationships whith boys only for days but hadnt feelings for them.Although,I had done nothing whith girls I have amazing feelings for them…And I dont mean just sex.Actually,the wierd thing is that I am not sexually attracted by girls,only guys(But I think emotion is what counts).Please,give me your own view of some questions I have…I love emotionally girls so why am I sexually attracted by guys?Also,my look is girly(not tomboy)and I am attracted by girly girls,is this common for lesbians or all lesbs.are tomboys?
