"So they were appalled when their son brought a picture book home from kindergarten that showed families with same-sex parents. "
Hmm...I'm not sure that such a book is actively promoting homosexuality. I don't know the book in question, and it wasn't named.
The fact is that their son is likely to meet other students who have same sex parents. That fact does not mean that the child is somehow wrong for having such parents.
I've seen some of these books, and they're primarily concerned with not treating non-traditional families any differently that traditional families.
I can't find any fault in that. There's a lesbian couple down the street from me. Whether I like the fact that they're living together is irrelevant. They are doing so. They're actually very good neighbors, keep their yard tidy, and watch pets and keep an eye on their near neighbors' homes when they're gone.
I can't imagine why I would treat them any differently that any of my other neighbors. I greet them, if I see them outdoors, just as they do me.
I'm in no way harmed by their proximity, as far as I can tell. I believe this parent is overreacting.
On the other hand, I have to wonder what would happen if they came out with a FULL HOUSE book nowadays.
So being appalled that their 5 year old was exposed to sexual deviance is "overreacting"?
Nice babble of non-sequitars.
It's generally the case that most pro-homosexual supporters have "gay" friends...you're almost compelled to defend their "honor" aren't you? Like a gnat drawn to a bug zapper.
Believe it or know it's none of your business whether a parent wants to protect their young children from the brain washing that comes from liberal education's attempt to normalize perversion. If the kid brought home a book that showed families who practiced bestiality I guess that's not "actively promoting" bestiality either given your twisted logic. Of course that doesn't mean that a child is somehow wrong for having bestials for parents...right? And if the bestial parents kept their yard tidy and were good neighbors then I guess by your sub standards as long as you're not harmed by their proximity all's right with the world in your mind.
You can stay away from my kids thank you very much.
That is a physical impossibility.
Their child can meet a birthparent who has a live-in boyfriend or girlfriend of the same sex.
Can same sex couples both put their names on adoption forms?
A major underlying issue here is that certain people have begun to identify themselves by the "behaviors" with which they engage in. By every argument made by secular/progressive types on behalf of legitimizing homosexual acts as a 'class' of human beings, the very same arguments can and will be applied to the legitimization of incest, beastial "relationships," necrophilia, and yes.....homosexual cannibalism.
Our nation was founded on the idea that because all human beings are not equal, the only way we could receive equal treatment would be if our Rule of Law and our Constitutional rights were 'blind' to our differences.
The idea that differences equate to "class" is not only an alien to our shores, but it is dangerously destructive to the founding framework of America.
Look to India and Pakistan. There you'll see how miserable life is when everyone is consigned to a 'class" and/or caste.
NO ONE should ever be given 'rights' based upon the type of sexual practices they engage in.
That's absolute lunacy.
