ok im sorry if it gets taken that way over the net but like i said i have a gay friend who jokes all the time so i dont think twice about it.Making a joke out of it may not be a huge issue, the issue is via the internet your joke may be taken out of context by some. I am very comfortable in myself and jokes like this do not affect me mentally anymore. But for a young gay person, or someone who is not comfortable in themselves could read your comment and this could offend them or hurt them. That is the issue.
I do feel for you that your wife left you. My second cousin got married, had kids, always knew he was gay. One day he could not continue living the lie and left his wife. This is caused by unacceptance! Your wife, my cousin etc etc.... they got married and lived the normal life becuase it was expected of them.. It is awful, but what else could they do. Yes it is kinda selfish on their part,but surely it is clear how and why it happened?
I am pleased to say that my cousin and his ex wife and kids are the best of friends, luckily at the end of the day it is a happy ending for them. I understand it is not the same for most. If there is equality and acceptance then these kind of stories would not exist, or to a lesser extent. As gay people wouldn't feel forced to marry and have kids to please society.
as far as the ex wife thing the only thing i hold against her is that i can no longer watch a adult movie staring two females LOL (sorry but that is funny!!)
