Sorry, some people don't deserve my respect. Junkies, cheats, criminals, and communists spring to mind.

Are you the reincarnation of J. Edgar Hoover? Anyway, my point was never that you have to accept as good what people do, only that others have a right to be wrong.

Taking a pledge to tolerate perversity doesn't give the kid a right to be right.

"right to be wrong" = "cannot be criticized for bad behavior"?

Does your local newsstand carry lesbian and gay magazines?

Does sending the kids out looking for gay publications NOT encourage them to explore the gay lifestyle? Certainly it is aimed at getting them to ACCEPT the gay lifestyle.

Quite so. But nobody has a right to get in my face with his perversion and demand that I, or my kid, approve of it. But I do have enough respect for sodomites to accept the fact that they deserve to be expected to be held to the same standards as everybody else. So, if they would refrain from offending me with public display of their abomination, and from pushing it on our children, I would be willing to refrain from bothering them.
