“”
That’s not what she asked. She is asking for advice on how to deal with this issue for herself and her immediate family - not on how to make the other person change her lifestyle.””

The way to “deal with the issue” is to accept the fact that the 1800’s are over and in this century sometimes boys date boys and girls date girls.

Either accept that or stay in the past.

I don't think that the poster was inquiring about how to be hip in the 21st century.

Why are you promoting homosexuality on FR?

You might want to rethink that. Those that push or condone homosexuality on FR are zotted. Homosexuality is a liberal “value” and NOT conservative.

You are seriously confused about what a society that will have a future must do to maintain itself.

What a sleazy, underhanded, condescending statement. Lots of people who know perfectly well what year it is also know that boys dating boys is not a good thing.

re: “The way to “deal with the issue” is to accept the fact that the 1800’s are over and in this century sometimes boys date boys and girls date girls. Either accept that or stay in the past.”

I accept the fact that people do immoral things all the time - adultury, murder, rape, molestation, theft, homosexuality, infanticide, etc. - but I do not accept that kind of behavior as morally right. That doesn’t mean I’m to treat people who do these things in a cruel way or to have a “holier than thou” attitude. I just do not “accept” their behavior as correct.

If you want to accept homosexuality as normal and morally correct - go right ahead and join the crowd. I tolerate the fact that others differ on their opinion on all of this. The woman who originally posted her question was asking advice on how to express her tolerance of something she disagreed with morally in a kind, yet morally acceptable way for her.

Throwing away one’s moral standards is not always the best advice. But, that’s my opinion.
