Well you’re certainly supposed to love your enemies more than gay people. That much is clear.
Now hang on while I grab my +5 rod of holy smiting so I can love you too.

Most parents want to be the arbiter of how and when their children learn about any number of sensitive issues. For example, the best advice I was ever given in raising my two was, “When they ask, tell them.”
This does not mean artificially forcing them into an environment so that a question is forced.
So, what do you think? Should the television and Hollywood determine when all children are ready, or is that best left to the individual parent?
Obviously you nailed it. Psst! I always surrender and declare my opponent the winner at the first hint of a “Gotcha Game.” The trophy is yours.
Ya, God forbid children see those dirty dirty homisexuals
You could of just admitted that you don’t have an explanation instead of dodging all over the place

What? Admit she might be wrong? Have you been following this thread, at all?

And you could admit you don’t understand my perspective. I am approaching the question from the point of view of young parents with young children. I am comfortable with this perspective because in my family, my schools, my work environment, etc., people (at least in my presence) have never spoken badly about homosexuals or treated them with anything less than respect. I’ll bet if you ask around, there will even be some homosexuals who agree with the perspective that parents, not Hollywood, should address homosexuality and same sex unions of any kind with their children. Why you want to find an issue to pit people against each other about homosexuality is beyond me. I wonder if you live in a very different part of the country than I.
Didn’t realize I was taking a math test where there is always a right or wrong answer. You know, as opposed to the school assignment where students must voice and support an opinion. Is there a book you recommend that tells us all what the correct opinion on everything is, and the wrong opinion? Come on, don’t be shy…I’ll bet you wrote it yourself.
Yet these parents have no problem with those young children being exposed to heterosexual marriages. Why the double standard if they supposedly love gay people in the same way
…courage of one’s convictions. Some people have it and some don’t
So you don’t follow the ideas of the social contract laid out by Enlightenment philosophers…where DO our rights come from then?
Same place they’ve always come from. Us. People themselves choose whether or not they obey laws and are ruled by other people. Or Gods. Or whatever. That’s why human history is chalk full of conquerors, wars, kingdoms, and ultimately revolutions. Eventually someone always comes along who thinks they can run the world better than anyone else.
Can you explain why heterosexual marriage is fine while homosexual marriage is something to be left to parents?
Asked and answered. I said that is a question you will have to ask an Alabama parent. I also mentioned that people who live in Alabama don’t seem to have a problem with TV shows such as Modern Family…which if you recall, also shows gay marriage. How do you explain that discrepancy?
Ready for what? Gay marriage?
Why would they need to be “ready” for anything? Pure love? Isn’t “pure” love unconditional love?

Well, there you have it. I have very few–if any–convictions. I’ve mentioned this before. My mom always saw things in black & white. She was often quite frustrated with me, because I see everything in shades of grey. If a mother can’t make a child see things in shades of black and white, I suggest you don’t bang your head against a brick wall trying to succeed in her stead.
I see. So homosexual marriages should be kept in the closet until concerned parents think their kids are old enough to see it.
I wonder how homosexual kids or children of homosexuals take your stance? Not hurtful to them at all, are you?
