[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as he isn't gaying it up and comes alone, who cares? Or is he selfish and wants to force his lifestyle down everyone's throats and mentally scar the children?[/quote] This person is clearly trolling, but the sad thing is that lots of bigots really do feel this way --- people who are different are only allowed to exist if they hide their differences. Actually doing normal human things --- bringing your partner to a family gathering, holding hands, having a family --- are "forcing a lifestyle down people's throats" when gay people or people in an inter-religious or interracial marriage do them, but those things are perfectly fine when done by "people like us." Ironically, children are far less upset about this than the bigoted parents. I think that kids instinctively get that having two kind, supportive parents of any race and gender is good for kids.[/quote]
