Please everyone, I did not mean to open the Pandora’s box, I was simply looking for an answer to how to enter the data. I was not looking for a forum as to whether we should include this data or not, or whether Legacy should change. I personally believe that this is an excellent program and have no interest in changing or shooting myself in the foot to go to a different program simply because this entry was not readily apparent.
I have found the answer that I was looking for. Could we please end this thread? For those who had their box filled with this becoming a forum on homosexuality rather than a simple data entry request, I’m sorry! Some programs don’t offer a ready way to show that my ancestor had brown hair and blue eyes or a 44 inch chest, is that bad? Just because this is not a check box, does not make things bad, just an obstacle to get around. If there were no obstacles, there would not be a need to have a forum of this type. As the originator of this thread, could I ask that we please end this one now?

Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Personal feelings about the morality or Homosexuality or other topics should not impact the feature set of genealogy software. Legacy has a place to record divorce although some people feel is it wrong. It records Wars although some people feel they are immoral. It lets us record children born out of wedlock. Genealogy is a recording of history. Homosexual relationships are a fact of history and shape families. That is what genealogy is about. As such, when it becomes clear that people need to record those facts, the software should be expanded to offer that opportunity. Pretending that facts of family history didn’t happen because someone’s moral stance wishes it so is not the way Software feature sets should be determined. Divorces,Wars,Children born out of wedlock and Homosexuality are in the Bible but Homosexuality is the only one that is said to be an abomination to God. This list is pushing too much for Homosexuality to be added to the program, so I will be unsubscribing from this list and also deleting Legacy from my computer and going back to using RootsMagic.
