I wouldn't say it's funny exactly but it's so creepy it's almost funny:

Who the hell wrote this? When? Why?!

OK, that's really creepy. But you know, maybe it's a psychological book for kids. I mean, if they read it and can relate because of the pictures and the easy language and description... Well, then you know they're not gay... :\

Oh God. So disturbing.

Love the outcome of the book, like thank God, I'm not gay, I was just abused!

thanks a lot for posting, dangerous!

hmm i think the book probably had good intentions until the last part where it's all 'phew, i'm not gay, just abused', like chilly said. maybe they should have added something so it doesn't lead kids to think that only abused kids are gay or just clear up the meaning of gay or something.

And what about Pervy Uncle Pete? He cries a lot and apologises and all is well? WTF?

The book is 'Alfie's Home' by Richard A Cohen. The book is no longer available, but you can still see the Amazon page and read the lovely comments. Amazon.com: Alfie's Home: Books: Richard A. Cohen,Elizabeth Sherman

He was mentioned on the board a while back. He's the guy who did the beating of the pillow with a tennis racket while blaming his mother and thinks that men can cuddle to cure homosexuality. His wikipedia page is good for a laugh. Richard A. Cohen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ew, well that explains why the kid's all 'phew, i'm not gay' at the end of the book. i guess the guy probably thinks that no one is truly gay but always becomes gay for a reason - like abuse or something. creep.
