My daughter has a mommy and a daddy. If Heather has two mommies, then my daughter will probably wonder where Heather's daddy is. Also, even Larry can't dispute the fact that reproduction occurs only after a male produced sperm fertilize a female produced egg. Therefore there *must* be a daddy in the picture somewhere, even if he met mommy at the sperm bank. > Lets put it this way - many children will not have the concious opportunity > to meet gay people until they are older because most people dont' come out > until a bit later. Whats the harm in letting kids know that gay people > exist, they are around us every day and they are nothing to fear or hate/ Let me ask a counter-question. Why does a child under the age of, say, 14 have to know the sexual orientation of someone? I can understand a teenager needing to know about sexual orientation and preference, but why confuse a child? > I am not reading that.

She's 22 days old and just started "tracking" my wife with her head. In her eyes right now there is the walking milk factory (my wife), the humman pillow (me) and the human bouncer (my mother-in-law). Everyone else is a pair of arms and a shoulder and a voice. Will I still hold these opinions when she gets into gradeschool? Possibly. Maybe I'll have moved even further to the right in my viewpoints. Maybe I'll have chilled out by then... it just bothers me because I have no example to work from in this scenario.
