The entitlement and audacity of some who oppose LGBTQ equality never ceases to amaze me.
Of all of the false hysterical claims they make, the one about children has to take the cake.
“If marriage equality is accepted, children will be forced to learn about gays.”
The nerve of such statement is exceeded by its inanity. Same-sex families are raising children across America and guess what? These children are attending public schools and are being vocal about their families, as they should be.
So to all of those so-called moral folks who think they own the patent on the word “family,” marriage equality doesn’t need to be legalized for your child to know about same-sex families. The odds that they probably have classmates in same-sex homes are very good.
As it should be. Any home which provides love and support ought to be celebrated.
A perfect example of this is the following video in which Spencer Perry, 17 — son of Proposition 8 plaintiffs Kris Perry and Sandy Steir — talsk about the damage Prop. 8 has caused his family, and what has changed because of last week’s ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Perry is not a hypothetic. He is a reality — one of many:

How dare they have children, Do you mean to tell me that they give these kids stable homes instead of them being in foster homes. Well i never they should be hung.

^ not trying to bash you, but your use of the word illiterate is incorrect. i think you mean ignorant. illiterate means the inability to read or write.
Knowledge is indeed power
And they may stop thinking that slavery was just a short, mildly unfortunate chapter in American history! And that Japanese internment was actually a big deal! And that the Holocaust actually happened! Oh good heavens no!
They have only two feet to put in their mouth so sooner or later they will shut the f*** up…
oh no! children will learn acceptance! whatever shall we do! (jerks)
I am proud to say that both my parents are gay. People ask how that’s possible yet you just think about it. Does that mean that I am gay? Not necessarily. I’m a product of a gay family. I grew up with two moms, and a gay dad, and I am proud of that. If the world doesn’t accept people for their sexuality, that is the worlds downfall, not my familys.
U mean rightwing extremist’s have electricity?
