Michelle Duggar Lesbian Secret — Sister Is Gay | Radar Online

If one were to watch some of the early shows, this should come as no surprise. Besides Josh's more recent comments, Ruark had been mentioned briefly before. If I remember correctly it was about 8-9 years ago at a large family gathering (birthday or funeral0).

One needs to remember, that neither Michelle nor Jim Bob were "born" into this Patriarchal, Quiverfulll cult. It was a life style they adopted. In the early shows, it was obvious that some of the extended family were not comfortable with their choice. (Yes I used to watch this show, I thought it was "quaint" in the beginning. I stopped about 5 years ago when it became blatantly obvious to me that TLC was promoting a cult and the religiosity became more apparent.) Their "hate the sin, love the sinner" crap is nauseating especially in light of Josh's employment with the Family Research Council.

Ruark has been in a long-term relationship with Ohio native Sharon Callahan, 52, and the two live together in Cincinnati, Sharon’s mother Dolores confirms to Radar.

While the Duggars certainly don’t approve of Ruark’s lifestyle, the same-sex lovers don’t seem to support the enormous family’s extreme Christian beliefs. In 2010, Sharon spoke to The National ENQUIRER— as a “significant other” of Ruark— about the Duggar family’s ties to the QuiverFull movement, a sect promoting procreation and denouncing all forms of birth control.

“We are worried about them,” Sharon said. “We have often thought that QuiverFull is a cult. It appears to be brainwashing to me.”
