It is not just a matter of seeing them holding hands together, but once it's accepted as a normal and acceptable lifestyle, the schools kids spend most of their day in for the majority of their formative years will also start teaching it as acceptable and normal. In school we were paired up. In math class we were paired up as fake husband and wife teams to figure out a budget. In gym we paired off male and female for dances. In home ec we were paired off as parents and given an "egg baby" to be responsible for and so on.
Now the schools are trying to get story books in normalizing same-sex relationships/parenthood, in classes they teach acceptance and tolerance of this lifestyle I wouldn't in a million years teach my children was ok. What's that going to do to them?
I teach my children based on the bible and Christian principles. The school and society undo them. Yes, I'm going to be upset and not *tolerate* this! I'm not going to run out and kill homosexuals or throw rocks at them, but I'm certainly not going to say "sure, I'll vote to make this ok, I'll let this be taught to my children."

First of if I offened you by my previous post Chy I'm sorry what you wrote upset me because it seemed that you did not see how we all effect each others in ways we dont care for and was singling out a certain group of people to blame.
I know your not a bias person.

When I was growing up and given I'm 26 years old and I'm not sure how old you are but I'm assumeing in your 30's ?

But when I went to school we were not ever paired into partner groups like you mention.
I mean I saw it on tv that it used to happen and I thought it compleatly unethical to do so because of the childrens age and the complexacity of being a partner or parent ect.. children even most teen's are not able to comprihend the true depht of that type of relationship not matter how much its taught.
As for dances we actually used male and female partners there really was no sexual conitation to any of it.
Danceing in most the world is done by same sex partners its more an art form than a sexual thing.
We as people in the weastern world put to much emphisis on everything being sexual when it isnt.

Voteing for people to be married .......
Well thats your right in this country voteing for what you want.
But I still cant see why one form of marriage is worse than the other and this given the view point that this is a country of religious freedom the argument of it being sinfull is weak as best.
But we all can vote and its what most the people want in this country that effect the laws.
As for homosexuality being normal.
Its always been normal in my lifetime that I can remeber even though my parents have an avid hatred for homosexuals I dont.
But then again they think mixed racial marriages should be baned and I dont.
Personaly I see no differance.
You want to protect your children so they grow up with the same ideals and belifes as you.
That I understand but one cant help but think and worry about when we are trying to install these belifes are we also seting up the building blocks of intolerance tword these people for later?

An example of why this bothers me even further: in a recent case in the news a little girl was raped and sodomized. I consider this two different crimes. Now it isn't and the man will get sentenced based on rape instead of serving the extra time a charge of sodomy would have gotten him, thanks to gays who can't seem to figure out that penises and vaginas go together and insist everyone else get confused about it too. This makes me sick. That girl sufferered enough in a rape, then to be sodomized on top of that and have it not considered as an additional crime

Sodomy at least in my state has been overturned as a crime so I dont see two crimes there.
Sodamy dosnt bother me in the least the statisitcs on heterosexual couples who practice it are much higher than people might think and people voted the sodamy laws out of the books.
But given my belifes the man acted out a crime that is most forbidden the worst crime possible next to murder.
He shouldnt be sentanced he should be killed but thats my view point.
First he commited rape which is an act of violence that literaly can destroy people special someone young.
The laws are far to soft on people like this.
I know your christian and most likly dont accept the death sentance but I do.
I think it should be doled out a bit more or maybe have rapist's publicly casterated might deture them a bit.
In some ways the laws of the old days were better when a rope and a high tree did the talking instead of HBO in a air conditioned prison cell.
But I do have an intolerance of certain peoples rapist being one and pedifiles who actually act on thier impulses is another.
Its not because of thier urges that I dislike them its because what they do is so harmfull to thier victums and thier familys.
