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 could not agree more. (And he probably was, or wished to have been... LOL!)

Sadly, the child's feelings are different from a legal status. This is not unlike the wrenching a poor little one takes when her nanny of 4 years leaves. Whoever has been actually there with the child is very special and actually PART of the child's own security. Children's security is OUTSIDE their bodies for many years. So that child got screwed when the non-bio "Mommy" left.
We had some neighbor friends when I was a kid that might have been lesbos for all I know. I believe we were told they were "sisters." Where was the harm in that? Why do these people have to get in everybody's face about their disordered lives and relationships all the time. I would make the case that those who kept it to themselves in order to foster harmony were the well-adjusted ones.
I hate to equivocate the two but non biological mommy sounds a lot like biological daddy except she didn't have to pay child support.

Yes, we must not allow the PC stuff to get out of hand. I wonder what people now would say about the old Olsen Twins show or Mr. Belvedere or Perfect Strangers or Laverne and Shirley or Mork's character or Gilligan's Island or the Lone Ranger or Scooby Doo or whatever. All of these shows and more could have hs overtones if we let them.
