I love how the left makes up "names" in an effort to reframe the issue. This has NOTHING to do with "exclusionary politics," whatever the hell that means. This is about the FACT that the majority of Americans do not embrace homosex. This is plain old-fashioned social pressure - it is the age-old way that social groups (families, countries, cultures) behaved to maintain norms. People are accepted into their "social group" when they fit within the norms, they are accepted.
Americans view homosex as abnormal and therefore are unwilling to accept people who practice homosex into the "group." Plain and simple.
My children go to a private Christian school, and they will not have friends that have gay parents.
I teach my children to show respect for all people, but they do not have to accept it or tolerate it being shoved down their throats.
Every parent has the right to raise their children how they choose, send them to whatever school they choose, and allow them to be friends with whomever they choose.
It's our choice that our children do not associate with queers or queer families. I respect your choice/your opinions, it's your decision.
I feel awful for the little girl and her brothers. Mommy and Mommy made their choices, but it must be heartbreaking for her to not understand why this is happening. She's probably been told it's because all the evil, ill-informed rednecks hate her mommies and want them to be unhappy.
If the gays did that 90% of the static most normal people have with them would not be evident. The problem normal people have with the gays is not that they are gay but that they are telling us they are gay.
Letting gays and lesbians adopt children simply makes more gays and lesbians. They are brainwashed from infancy, as this little girls remarks make clear. She thinks she is a lesbian, it is obvious from her remarks. The odds are she is not lesbian, but is being made to think it is ok to be by her two "moms". This is an unhealthy life style for these children and this kind of thing should stop. If gays and lesbians were not allowed to adopt children then I wouldn't have to explain it to MY children would I?
I know you probably think I hate gays and lesbians. I do not, but neither do I think it is a lifestyle to be imitated or even condoned. I have queer friends, grew up with a few. I treat them fine but do not subscribe to their life style or think it should be passed on to children.
"The episode, titled "Sugartime!," is one of 40 live-action episodes in which Buster, a cartoon character from the "Arthur" books and television series, visits real children around the country to show how they live. The series's mandate from the Department of Education - which provided $5 million in financial support for the show, 63 percent of its budget - is to highlight diversity."
Money well spent? Maybe Joe Scarborough of Scarborough Country and Rome Wasn't Burnt in a Day has something to say about that!
$5 million dollars is a lot of money that could fund safer school buses, training for teachers - strike that, performance pay for teachers, and more!!!
Or of course, that $5 million might be best served in OUR pockets. Or CBS's to do their own liberal program - and we don't have to fund or watch that stuff.
I hope I'm beginning to make sense.
Ah, the great New York Times. As someone else noted, the phrase "Experts say..." would not get by the editor of a decent high school newspaper. Then the enchange at the end, where the writer presents an agenda-driven question without even the ruse of "when this reporter asked the child...", is so far beyond journalistic propriety that it can hardly be believed.
I'm not really sure WHAT Jesus would have done. On the one hand the children shouldn't suffer for the sins of the parents. But on the other He said it would have been better for one to never have been born than to put a stumbling block in front of one of these (children).
This brainwashing is going to lead to unhappy lives for these kids and I am wholeheartedly against allowing homosexuals to adopt for this reason. Or raise children at all for that matter, theirs or someone elses.
By the way, studies do in fact exist that document the emotional and psychological problems of children raised by 'queer' groups. I can't swear to this but I believe that Kay Hymowitz whose writings appear at wwww.city-journal.org, has referenced them in some of her writings.
Someone should have informed that poor 'brain-washed' Muslim girl of the fate the two 'mommies' would suffer in any Muslim dominated culture. To say nothing of the sheer chutzpah and sacrilege of comparing lesbianism to a religion. Yet no one seems to notice. Sick!
The Lebians are ok ...I am afraid of this Buster Bunny guy though, Rabbits like that give me the creeps
Thank You.
There is a huge difference between being "anti-gay" and objecting to having our younger children given advocacy lessons in regards to that lifestyle or any other sexual adult relationship for that matter.
In the old TV show, "Family Affair", Mr. French could have been Uncle Bill's bi-sexual lover on the side for all we know. Our kids don't need to know that part. (Frankly, neither do we.) Unless an adult brings up the subject, kid's don't even think about such things.
My kids had a classmate in their elementary school class that had, as the euphemism now goes, "two Mommies".
My kids went to "Mary's" birthday parties and other social occasions at her house. We, the parents, socialized with her "two Mommies". However, the subject of lesbian relationships was not discussed with any of our children and none of them ever bothered to ask.
If we do not discuss the heterosexual sex lives of Tommy's parents with our younger kids, why should we discuss the homosexual sex lives of Mary's "two Mommies" with them?
In this particular case, it turns out that "Mary" never actually had "two Mommies". The biological mother, the highly paid professional, eventually became dissatisfied with the stay-at-home non-biological Mommy and dumped her.
Biological Mommy did not have to pay alimony and her biological motherhood status made joint custody a legal non-issue. Biological Mommy simply took 100% of her property and her biological child out of the house she and Non-Biological Mommy had rented together and simply walked out.
"See ya!"
In the end, when push came to shove, "Mary" only had one Mommy. She never really had two.
Neither do bunnies.

I don't want my tax dollars to pay for pro-gay family propaganda. If these are truly "little kids," I doubt they'd even know their parents were gay or what that meant. Only kids at the age of puberty would be aware of such things.
I'm not "anti-gay," BTW. My daughter thinks she's gay but I pray for her recovery. In the meantime I love her even if I think this "lifestyle" is destructive.
