I live in one of the most “gay” areas of one of the “gayest” states in the union. My kids are just fine and very heterosexual (which, quite frankly, has kept me sleepless during some of the high school years!)

The stuff you are referencing happens mostly in really left wing private schools. I know it isnt happening in our school system. (And everything is local, isn’t it?)

Gay pride parades are not representative of the entire gay population. They are a circus for immature idiots to walk around and show their six pack abs and sagging braless breasts. Many in the gay community cringe at the coverage of those things worse than you and I might.

I am raising my children to respect that people will put their private parts to use wherever they want. Some will follow a traditional path (a Man and a Woman.) Others will not. As long as they are consenting adults, it is not our business. (And gays are not all pedophiles, trying to intice the smooth little boys into their lairs.) I cannot change it. Neither can you.

I get frustrated with the intolerence that is posted on some of the forums. But when I see vitriole, hate, and biblical quotations I have to check and see if I have mistakenly logged into my Taliban forum.

It's not the Taliban. It's just a bunch of immature people with strange priorities. 500 posts and counting. Good lord.

BTW, that’s an excellent post.

"when I see vitriole, hate, and biblical quotations I have to check and see if I have mistakenly logged into my Taliban forum."

Honest question: do you class moral disapproval of certain behaviors, per se, as hate? Or do you think disapproval could be right and just, but contempt, ill-will and slander directed toward the person are what really qualify as hate?

I really respect your opinion but I just hate it when Christains are called intolerant because they believe in what God says. And there is a huge difference in the God of the Holy Bible and the god of the koran.

So, you are the new Rosie O'Donnell wing of the GOP who equates the Christians with the Taliban???

That little baby boy is just a fantasy object, a fetish for two perverts to parade around...

I pity him...

P.S. I am an atheist, so spare the religion bashing.
