I think you do a great disservice to your child by assuming his/her sexuality, and instilling him/her with derogatory and disrespectful attitudes about people who they might one day realize that they are.

Oh, really? Au contraire, I believe that I am setting a good example for him. I don't instill a derogatory attitude and disrespect about PEOPLE -- I inform him that their actions are WRONG -- just like I inform him that it is WRONG to murder, rob banks, commit adultery, etc. It appears to be quite telling that you "know many, many gays". You know dude, I don't hang out with drug dealers, because I think they are morally wrong. I don't hang out with gays, because I think they are morally wrong. I don't want ANYONE teaching my child moral relevance. Be gone!

While I agree with you about how the NEA will turn this into preaching about how gays are okay since well, they always do get politics into things I do have to point out that Jesus himself hanged out with the prostitutes and other ilk of society. He did not engage in their evil, but showed his love and the Gospel to them.
