Hmm, had trouble reading with the all italics and no paragraphs, but to me, it sounds like you'd defend the school having a practice of requiring incoming students to bring along their parents' marriage certificates, and the child's birth certificates, to make sure that none of the poor little Catholic kids would have to encounter any bastards.

What difference is it, what the parents do/have done? They're not going to engage in lesbian behavior on PTA night! In any case, this is Eugene, Oregon, lots of parents will put pressure on the school to allow this child. I strongly suspect that six months from now, those parents might be legally married under Oregon law (I see virtually no chance of passing a marriage amendment in Oregon), and the school won't really have much of a choice, anyway.

You read it wrong, with good reason with the editing problems.

In a nutshell, and what I answered to you was simple. My problem with this entire case is a homosexual couple attempting to force a religious institution to change their basic tenants because of a decision they have made.

Once again, this has as much to do with the child as Michael Newdows USSC case on the pledge had to do with his child. It is about a minority population attempting to change the basic institution of our country (in this case, a fully recognized church) because they have made the decision to live their life in a way that is rejected by the vast majority of society.

If Oregon rolls over on gay marriage then the people of that state will deal with that decision. It will be interesting to see what is going to happen to the few states that will allow gay marriage and the states that refuse to recognize it.

One last thing, you do enjoy putting words into peoples mouths, that is obvious - however I will give you a pass due to the editing problem I had. Let me repeat one more time, my problem is not with the child in this case, it is however with her parents and their attempts to force a religion to change 1,000 of years of teaching to suit their wants.
