"I've always loved this line. As if this is how we should base moral decisions. I'm sure in 1938 Germany, people were telling non-Nazis that they were "on the wrong side of history" as well.

"But since you brought up a more serious question....

"My first response is to do or say nothing. When DD was 4, she really didn't even notice this difference about one of her friends/ classmates. She played at the child's house and "Miss X" or "Miss Y" were always around but frankly, I don't think she caught the difference between most other houses where, say, a mom and nanny were also home all the time. She's a little older now and the friendship with that particular child has faded somewhat because of a move, so we're really not in as much contact. With my older kids, it has only come up briefly. I have said – briefly, without a lot of fanfare -- that yes, there are families that are constructed in this way (two moms/ two dads) and that I personally do not approve of it, but that the people are lovely and should be treated as such. So far, that's been the extent of it. [/quote]"

PLEASE tell me that you didn't intentionally just equate equality for two-mom and two-dad families with Nazism in 1938 Germany.  Please tell me that was a mistake.[/quote]

Please tell me that you aren't so desperate/ determined to find an offense under every rock you see that you read it that way. Please tell me you don't live your life that way.[/quote]

How about this...I will send when you wrote to my grandmother (who survived the camps) - we will let her see if she thinks it offensive what you said.  You can post your phone number and I will have her call you.

If you don't think what you said was offensive, you can talk directly to a survivor...and tell her so.[/quote]
