Around this time, Leslie learned something about her family that she felt must be relevant. Her 40-year-old brother, Mark, called to say that he was divorcing his wife because he was gay. Mark said that he had recognized homosexual feelings in himself from childhood and had had sex with men beginning in adolescence and even through his marriage. But he had felt “Catholic guilt” and tried, at least intermit-tently, to suppress his gay feelings. After falling in love with a man, Mark realized that he could never be happy unless he followed his heart, and this required self-acceptance. Leslie was stunned by his revelation but managed to reassure her brother that it would not hurt their relationship. Later, discussing this with her own mother, she made a connection. She asked her mother whether Mark had been a feminine boy. Her mother, who knew about Danny, revealed that, indeed, he had been. When Mark was very young, he liked dolls and even cross-dressed a couple of times. Their father had disliked these behaviors and wouldn’t allow them. He had worried that Mark was becoming a sissy and made him play sports, which Mark detested.
She hadn’t mentioned this before because Mark seemed ashamed to be reminded of his feminine past, and so she didn’t want to bring it up. She had always assumed that because Mark “outgrew” this behavior, Danny would also. Leslie could not believe that the similarity between Danny and Mark was merely a coincidence, but if not, what did it mean? Was there something about their family that produced feminine boys? A gene perhaps? Would Danny become a gay man, like Mark?
...это прекрасно.
Мальчик, типа был феминным, играл в куклы и кроссдрессингом занимался, потом ему сказали это дело прекратить. Он прекратил. Но потом мама говорит что никогда не упоминала это при сыне потому что казалось что сыну стыдно за своë такое феминное поведение и упоминание этого и что он "перерос" это.
