Do you know in Calif teachers (starting with kindergarten) are being ENCOURAGED to teach that homosexuality, bi-sexuality, and even trans-sexuality - is normal behavior?? so next we will have the bi club and on and on?? when does it stop?? when parents get involved and say enough is enough. Not likely to happen. Today's mentality is "if it feels good, do it" We've hit rock bottom as a society. It's very sad but it's true.

Very few gays, will say it's "cool" to be so.

In fact, a large % will relate how tough it is being the object of denigration, scorn and hatred.

Now how in the world...... could they ever get that impression? :oops:

They should keep their private life private and not flaunt it like so many do. Take sex out of the schools and bring in "history" Maybe we can become the smartest in the world again instead of the dumbest. dumbing down is destroying our country. The attitude of "hey anything goes" is not ok. Hey let's smoke some weed and just pop a morning after pill is about as dumb as one can get. Morality is gone . How pathetic we have become.

I'm not going to get in depth with you, but let me leave you with the thought that it also used to be considered "moral" to own other human beings, deny women the right to vote, denigrate/discriminate/segregate based on the color of skin and prohibit different races from marrying.

How pathetic we used to be.

guess I'm old fashioned. I believe in morals and values. Not too many of my type around anymore. But I raised two good kids who know right from wrong. That brings me peace.

"Gay-straight" clubs, are typically founded to try and eliminate and work through the ignorance, hate and prejudice...shown toward gays.

What's wrong with that?

I don't feel the respect on this thread. On either side.

I feel anger and hatred.

Diplomacy can go a LONG way to change someone's mind.

Just out of curiosity, how would you treat one of your two....if they told you they were gay?
