African Americans and Bingoing

I feel your pain. Being a young African American woman, I get bingoed a lot as well- there aren't very many of us that are CF. Those that are always either scorned and called childish/weird/selfish or get that standard 'How do you know for sure you're not going to have children in the future?" as if we're too stupid to control what goes on in our own bodies. My own mother did it to me a while ago when I mentioned that I didn't intend on having any. Huh! As if I would let some man dictate whether or not I'd have children. When she found out that I dumped my ex because of his sickening baby rabies, she calmed down a lot about it and hasn't brought it up since.

That's terrrible, but I'm glad to hear your mom has stopped bingoeing you.

One of my good friends(biracial)got married, had one kid,(sweet girl),divorced and then told me and her two half sisters(white) that she was gay! She and girlfriend both raise her girl. I wonder what hell she had to endure, hiding her real feelings and if she was somewhat pressured into having a kid.

sometimes gay women want to have kids,

I think John Waters was right. "Gays have more kids than Catholics," he told Terry Gross on Fresh Air.
Melissa Etheridge's current girlfriend is expecting twins. Etheridge's ex also has 2 (I think) kids for her. She loves knocking up women!

Gays have more? Gosh I CANNOT stand the Catholic faith. I always thought they had less, at least the ones I know. My friend got married, had the kid and they divorced maybe two years after.
Today at the farm I was at the owner,maybe about 50ish told me he had 5 kids. All I could think was well you dumb fucking breeder. Thanks for overpopulating the world for me!!

sometimes gay women have more of a need for children i think, than some catholics.. it really depends on the people really, i know a few lesbians, a few are cf. some arent..
