I do...one...but not in school anymore.

Do you mean that you prefer the children of public sinners to receive a public education instead of receiving a religiously-based education?

I've got two.  I wouldn't have any problem with one of their classmates who had fag parents, being told that they were living in sin.  I would, on the other hand, have a MAJOR problem if the school tried to teach that it was "just another lifestyle choice equal in merit to any other lifestyle choice." but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

I do, and am still "ditto-ing" Owl_Eagle. I think this opens an opportunity to discuss homosexuality with a goal of encouraging people out of a sinful lifestyle, rather than closing the door on your fellow man's potential for redemption/salvation. If the parents try to bring a pro-gay "agenda" to the school, then the school shouldn't enroll the children (which would be very unfortunate).

As for homosexual adoption, I don't think one's sexuality should be the primary criteria, but rather a loving and stable household for the child. There are plenty of heterosexuals who live in sin and mistreat/abuse the children they have and/or adopt.
