[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean.... how accepting would you be of your child’s Muslim friend who disagrees with the tenants of the LGBTQ movement?  You’re just raising someone with different values, not less bigoted.[/quote]

One of my good friends heartily believes that Sharia law is better for society, while I'm firmly against mixing religion and government.  We don't discuss Sharia law, abortion, lbgtq or adultery.  We've had a blast discussing other things (like polygamy and other aspects of culture and religion), and the merits of specific politicians is always entertaining.[/quote]

I'm a queer, progressive parent raising a kid in a politically, racially, culturally diverse place. I'm all for tolerance in personal relationships. I have friends who don't "approve of my lifestyle" but are generally great people who will publicly stand up for not judging others. My kid has had other kids tell her that God doesn't like it when families have two moms or two dads. I tell her other people are going to believe different things than we do but that doesn't hurt us. In the case of those kids, I remind her that it must be scary to believe in a God who would hurt you or your family because you did something God didn't like (that comment was based on some things the other child told my child). Politically, I will absolutely fight it out, but person to person I think it's important to be chill with other people. [/quote]
