A Montgomery County parents group yesterday hosted a forum in Bethesda to promote teaching about AND ACCEPTANCE OF homosexuality in public-school sex education.
> It's got nothing to do with "tolerance", it's all about acceptance.
In the UCC, a member church is encouraged to become "open and affirming."
They want acceptance and they want their behavior to be considered as normal. In other words, they want everyone to be open to sexual experiences of any type. Of course they want this. People who break laws probably dream of a society where their behavior is not considered breaking the law too.
It comes down to the type of society people want. We have agreed that discrimination in jobs and housing should be considered against the law. We don't however have to make acceptance of everyone we meet mandatory. In other words, we can still associate and offend others in a free society. Catholics do not have to admit Babtists, Jews, or atheists. Makes sense when you think about it. Society also does not have to accept homosexuality, and if a vaccine were to be found that would immunize children against homosexuality then I think society would eliminate homosexuality in one generation. (No, I would not use the endangered species act to save them.)
As far as being kind and fair to homosexuals, I have no problem with it, nor do I support physical acts of violence against them unless they seek to overthrough this government or molest children. If they stay in the closet, so much the better.
