Even Desperate Housewives Gets Into the Act

This last Sunday, Richard Chamberlain guest starred on the popular Sunday night TV show about the housewives living on a certain street in suburban America. He played the long lost step father of Lynette who had divorced her biological mother years ago. He shared with Lynette that the real reason he left her mother was because he was 'gay'. After a marriage of two years, the mom (played by Polly Bergen) felt ashamed to tell he children the real reason for the divorce because 'she thought she had turned him gay.' Something was mentioned about 'not being woman enough'.
I wonder how many other women/men that find themselves married to a gay mate feel the same way. That feeling should only last for about 10 minutes or so because no one can make their 'mate' gay. That is something that they brought into the marriage themselves and either refused to deal with it beforehand or actually thought that getting married would make it go away.
Either way, the spouse of a gay mate should not blame themselves if they find themselves in that situation. It is not about them, but about their mate.
