It has. It send wrong message to my children.
You can feel however you want to about anyone in any way that you want to. That opportunity also belongs to people assessing *you*. You don't have to agree with anyone on anything, but you also don't get to dictate how you're perceived. This is a constant whine from conservatives - a lot of them don't really believe in freedom of speech. They believe in freedom from consequence of speech.
What's most comical is the fact homosexuality, at least in this country, is absolutely mainstream. Corporations are falling all over themselves to put as many rainbows on their marketing material as possible. Gay marriage is legal in all 50 states. The Republican National Convention featured a gay speaker and a rainbow flag.
Yet the homosexual lobby acts like it's the 1980's, with tons of fear mongering. Lol.
The war can never end, you see. It must be extended to smart phones apps, message boards, bathrooms and self-mutilation.
My son works for a big accounting form, his partner for a tech company. They shop, go to ball games, travel, sit around and watch TV.
What lifestyle are you talking about???
That's your problem. I don't want to raise your children.
No---I think we ask for "live and let live." Not "bake the cake, bigot."
What is the wrong message?
That some people are not straight and that its a fact of life?
This idea that seeing gay people is going to turn your children gay or something is insane. It doesn't work like that. I didn't even know the concept of being gay and certainly didn't know anyone gay during my growing up, yet here I am, as a gay man.
What's the right message? "You must be homophobic"?
Young children should have a childhood. Parents shouldn't have to explain sexuality, either way, to a 9 year old.It's inappropriate.
And this is why the left continues to lose elections.

I'll repeat:

That's the marketing brand the gay lobby uses---"lifestyle." Call it whatever you want.
Right. Because "Let live" should certainly mean denying people services because you don't approve of their orientation.
While there have been some great strides in LGBTQ acceptance in the mainstream recently, there is a long way to go.
Don't go telling me "homosexuality is mainstream" till there are no longer people afraid to come out. Till gay couples aren't afraid to hold hands in public, till gay youth aren't bullied, till the rate of mental illness for gay people comes down to the normal rate, till gay people aren't afraid to reveal their sexuality at work.
The fear mongering I see is from the "I don't want to see it"/"I don't want my kids to get the wrong idea"/"Don't shove your lifestyle down my throat" crowd.
If you replaced Gay/LGBTQ with women or any number of non caucasian races, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Yet the insanity is that we are.
What's comical is the fact that patriotism is mainstream in the States. Businesses and private residences alike fly the stars and stripes proudly. Children all over the country recite the pledge of allegiance. The anthem plays at a whole host of notable events.
Yet patriots act like it's the 1750s.
Do we need a whole holiday every July? It's shoved down our throats every day of the year already. But the patriots are never happy!
hey look i found a fleck of logic under the couch cushion
Many young children's childhood includes being gay and having gay parents. Beyond that, I don't care what your version of some else's childhood should be. Your only concern, and reach, should extend no further than your own kid.
Personally, the kind of ideology you believe in is not something I'd want my children around. What can we do to protect society's kids from that? Can you guys just be quiet already about how you feel? Do you need to be so out and loud about it? Why can't you just live your lives without forcing your beliefs about sexuality down everyone's throats?
30 years ago there was no same-sex marriage, or even civil partnerships, or even legal protections for LGBTs - anywhere in the world. It was illegal to be gay in at least a third more countries than it is today.
It is way better now - even with a temporary aberration of Trump.
If pride parades feel pointless to you - don't go. Simple.
Better keep Mommy and Daddy in separate rooms then?
I only see lifestyle being used as a descriptor by people who don't understand sexuality.
It shouldn't need to be explained, it is a part of life that is every bit as normal for straight people.
What is inappropriate is brining up kids so that they are homophobic or worse kids who are gay and then have a 5 year struggle with themselves just to accept themselves (like me).

Mum and Dad need to act like two friends who just happen to be bringing children up, after all, we can't have kids finding out about sexuality.
You don't see the point the other poster was trying to make? I find it ironic that if you are a US citizen and expose illegal behavior by your government you then become the "criminal". Funny how that works. Sounds like what a lot of other countries do to their citizens some with and some without the obligatory "trial". Unfortunately many disappear to be never seen or heard from again. Or you have countries like Russia whose journalists and "opposition" mysteriously commits suicide or are the victim of some unfortunate mishap. Or worse, exposed to nerve agents or radiation.
I take it from the big sign, special apple shirts and Tim Cook appearing that this is endorsed by the corporation.
So are you claiming that theft of US state owned property is perfectly fine to do if your gay or transgender or gender neutral? That somehow that makes you above the law?
Theft is theft no matter what it is of. Their are plenty of other ways to expose truths without breaking the law.
And you should get off your moral high horse. Because if you buy Apple then you support a country who throws people in jail for torture because they spoke out against their government. A country where what you can see on the internet is still heavily censored and where you can go is also controlled.
Which has created the most valuable company in the world. Where hundreds of millions of repeat customers willingly open their wallets to purchase Apple products at premium prices. Year after year after year.
Sounds good to me!
The worst treatment of people have been under the guise of us being a "Christian society". We are not a Christian society, nor should we be.
Wrong on so many counts.
"In that way it is completely against the principles of our civilization which are Christian."
Our civilization? Astonishing...
