What about mental health in terms of allowing an individual man or woman to become the pilot of his or her own life's course, his or her own sexuality, his or her own expression of love, his or her own individuation?

Individuation seems to be the one thing that George W. Bush has not achieved in his life. He, a heterosexual man; and what a tragic human being he has resulted to be for the entire planet, the world, and the united states, as well as for the state of texas.

It seems that his self is compressed (sandwiched in) between what his mother and father expect him to be, and his own long lost somewhere self.

It also seems that somehow you are playing a mommy, or poppy bush role to countless men and women when you stand up to dictate your values to the many countless men and women who have differing values from your own, and a differing concept of their own sexuality.

Perhaps you ought to place yourself under therapy with a wise therapist.

Perhpas you ought to find out what your aversion or repulsion to homosexuality is and whether it is connected to any homesexual feelings of your very own that you may be hiding in the Jungian shadow of your self.

Grow up and individuate. Become a self and in doing that, let others be themselves.
