Who’s Your Daddy? Not Me, Please!
D ear
M s . B e h a v i o r :
My old straight friend Debra recently
called me and asked me for a strange favor.
Her 12-year-old son, Gabe, recently came
out to her. Since Gabe doesn’t have any gay
men (or any men at all, actually) in his life,
Debra wants my husband and me to spend
time with him, as role models. The thing is
that we are not exactly kid-friendly gays,
and I am not sure I am (or want to be) a
good role model to anyone, really. I sup
pose we could muster a movie or musical
or something at least once or twice, but we
might hate it.
I know for a fact that we are not Debra’s
only gay friends. I don’t get very many days
off and I don’t even know this kid, so I am
wondering if I really have to do it. I care
about Debra and I don’t want to hurt her
feelings. But would it be rude to say no to

No one is taking away all your days off or
threatening your freedom or roping you into
being a faux daddy,either. More likely, Debra
likes you and admires your relationship and
thinks Gabe would benefit from exposure
to you and your husband. Is it possible to
feel flattered instead of defensive? Maybe it
will help to remember that you’re not being

asked to babysit for an infant, and also that
you do have the option to say no.
But before you make a firm decision and
nix the idea of even an occasional outing,
why don’t you at least meet the kid? Take
him to brunch so he can learn what gays
do on the weekends (but don’t serve him a
mimosa). One little meeting doesn’t mean
you’ll need to have a meaningful relation
ship with him. But you might actually
enjoy yourself or learn something or feel
good about making a new friend. O f course
there’s always the possibility that you’ll
have a dreadful time, but what’s really the
worst that could happen?
If you absolutely refuse to even give it
a chance, just tell Debra that you’re an old
curmudgeon. She’ll probably know what
you mean.
