I'm serious. For those who talk shit about throwing them out of the house (which is all talk, by the way), etc., why? You afraid of what others are gonna think?

How would you feel if your child was blind? Had down syndrome? Had webbed toes? Had 1 leg?

They all should really have the same answer.

The answer, of course, being "disappointed, but still love them unconditionally".

Being gay is that same as have down syndrome? Even in the same ball park? Even in the same game?! Stupid comparison.

In AP Euro, we're studying about how back in the Medieval Ages, how parents felt very detached from their children, and even the ties between husband and wife had little love.

The responses giving off the same message as "lol kick that i love you outta da house!!" just really reminds me of that. I thought we had reached the point where love really was love, and completely unconditional... especially towards your own family.

The bright side is that due to the growing non-ignorance of homosexuality, gays will eventually find equal ground with the rest of the population. Tolerance is the concept. History will look back upon these days (and further back) as we do today with the segregation of colored people. That's what I think. Seriously, if you're prejudiced against people because of their sexuality, what makes you different from a racist? You're just racist against a different characteristic.

Back at you for not being tolerant and understanding of his beliefs or feelings on the matter.

Stupid question from an OP who 1) doesn't have kids of his own obviously and 2) is clueless about how most people (including those against gay marriage) feel towards gays.

Some of us still hold to traditional values and don't endorse wickedness in our midst.

This thread will be useful in determining who I dislike on this board.

Intolerance is probably my biggest pet peeve.

"He'd be... my lover."

Now you're a bigot AND a pedophile, not to mention gay. Take that!

Yes, there's nothing wicked about abandoning a child.

If he's gay he is no child of mine. I'm sure some democrat will take him in.
