Mom must be so proud.

Kids raised in San Francisco won't be able to function in the real world. "Mommy, my other Mommy said I could." Heaven forbid, their children will probably be the most hetersexual critters on the block in their drive to be normal.

[Rastus]

If you get the chance to drive through the Castro district, don't miss it (but do leave the kids home).

Thanks, but I think if I'm ever in the area, I'll take great pains to avoid the Castro district.

Ditto for me, but I was born in 1972. My secular parents had a low conflict no-fault divorce. And now I am, to quote Mike Pence, a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican. In that order.

This was in 1986, and I also went to Soviet Leningrad. There, many people took baths in the canals because they didn't have running water.

That trip was very eye-opening to me. At 15-years-old, I became the kind of anti-communist that makes Joseph McCarthy look like a moderate.

It worked out that way with David Horowitz (his parents were commies).

AMERICA'S most famous homosexual community is grappling with a perplexing situation — how to become family-friendly and still retain its legendary spirit of sexual freedom.

Last I checked the culture of the pole smoker didn't lend itself to being "family friendly."

Simple-- teach the kids to be respectful around adults and to hold their coats when two of them want to take a quick tumble under the bushes in the park.

"I am happy that people can enjoy a lifestyle that is denied to them back home in Kansas, but there are appropriate standards of behaviour, regardless of your sexual orientation," Jeremy Paul, a father of two boys, told the Los Angeles Times.

I'm glad to see that at least some 'get it'.

[DeweyCA]

Yes, I would be interested in finding out what is the reaction of gay parents to their kids being straight. How tolerant are the gay parents to their kids chosen expression of their own sexuality?

[trubluolyguy]

Oooh, Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore. What in the world are those men doing to each other?

---

Or....oooh, Toto I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore. Hey! What are you doing to my dog!!!??? Why do I smell peanut butter???

[trubluolyguy]

People born in 1980 and later (like me) are considerably farther to the right than their parents.

---

I was born in '69 to a couple of flower children. They are both still very liberal while I fall somewhere to the right of Rick Santorum.

[DeweyCA]

And isn't htis intersting that some gay "parents" are complaining about gays being so openly displaying their sexuality in front of their kids? I thought only those horrible intolerant bigoted straight parents ever complained about that? /sarc

[HamiltonJay]

Its not about ones parents sexual activities, which I personally feel is reason enough.. I've actually walked the Castro... Hedonism II in the caribean is more child appropriate than the Castro.

[ExpatGator]

"being reared by two Dads!"

Reared or rear-ended?

[Old Professer]

Watermelons, sheep and fenceposts full of knotholes, I guess.

"But this is the Castro, and anybody who moves here knows what they are moving to. We are very sexual people, and we do tend to flaunt it a little … This is the one place in the country where we can all gather and be ourselves and not have to worry."

This says it all about the attitude these people have.

I can hear their whining coming through the text loud and clear.

"I am happy that people can enjoy a lifestyle that is denied to them back home in Kansas,... Jeremy Paul, a father of two boys, told the Los Angeles Times.

The above statement reminds me of the following:

"Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?" The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden..."

In other words, unless you engage in this sinful activity you really are unknowingly deprived of your "freedom". And, of only you participated in this activity, then your eyes would be open and you would see the repression people in Kansas and elsewhere experience.

"You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God,..."

[PsyOp]

I envision gay parent asking their kids, "why won't you bring him/her home to meet us?"

Look who's coming to dinner...

"Straight we could have delat with! But a born-again Republican! Oh, the Horror!"
