And is teaching about Gay marriage any worse than teaching kids about guns/knives/violence/the holocaust/WWI/WWII/rape/gangs/etc...etc...etc...Just my 2c....FWIW....sorry but I'm not trying to start a huge debate here and the ability to express ourselves on this forum and post whats on our minds is what makes this forum so great....I could just end the post with a "just be careful with who you might be offending" type of line BUT everyone is entitled to their own opinion....thats what makes America........America...just my 2c again

This is kind of funny - we're on a thread about the great mods in this forum and we're about to be "modded"
Anyway, I really don't have a problem with what you're saying. I have no problem with the "legal" side of this whole thing until they call it marriage. If two homosexuals want the rights to see eachother in the hospital in those "family" situations they complain about - great. If they want to commit themselves to eachother for life - great. But the family is the basic building block of our society and by natural law can only occur from a man and a woman.
The basic idea for me is that marriage is between a man and a woman - if homosexuals want something similar that's fine, but don't call it marriage and treat it as an equal because by natural law it's not.
On a side note, I totally respect your opinion on it and I'm not offended by discussing it with anyone as long as they can handle themselves in a mature manner like you're doing. And if this is too touchy for the forum then I'm cool with that too. Feel free to "mod" my post!
