well lets think about why they want to marry in the first place...its because they want to same rights as other married couples...they want their partners to be able to get the same benefits as others if and when one dies...why shouldn't they have the same rights as the rest of us?? perhaps if we relented on that the the push for same sex marriage would not be such a big thing right now...as far as children are concerned i honestly do not believe it makes a child bad or good or straight or gay. It is how they are raised. Children just want to be loved and protected...we live in a time where it really doesn't matter if its two men two women a man and a woman or just one parent alone. I feel the same about when people feel homosexuals should not adopt. I have yet to see proof where this hurts children. I have been working with children for over twelve years and I have seen all manners of children. In the end, they want someone to want them love them protect them...i have even watch children of various ages be raised in a home with a same sex couple from the time two of them were infants until their current age of 9 and 10. They have other siblings as well we were taken in by the couple when they were 5 7 and 13, now they are 15, 17, and 23. If were living in different times maybe I would feel differently about it, but we are not. We live in a world where there are a variety of people, cultures, and beliefs. Many of us who claim to believe in God and follow his ways are breaking one of his laws by casting judgement to begin with. The world is changing...we cannot stop it. I like to believe in the end it will be a positive change but I also know there is a possibility that people will allow their hate for change to interfere. By no means am I saying that anyone's opinion is wrong, thats the great thing about our country is our ability to speak our opinion. This one just happens to be mine. I guess my opinion would change if I actually worked with children who's lives have been destroyed by all this. Anyway I'm hopeful for the future that some day this will be one of those arguments that will be laid to rest because its getting old. Granted it could take many years for that to happen but its like I said...I'm hopeful because without hope there would be nothing. Have fab day everyone!  the bible never says not to cast judgment, we are given brains so we can judge right from wron,, it is not judging a PERSON to judge their action or behavior,, right and wrong are right and wrong regardless of the PERSON doing it as is healthy and unhealthy, its not a judgement of a person I have two close relatives living this lifestyle, they are two very wonderful people whom I love, but that doesnt mean I have to be brainwashed into accepting msm as normal, healthy or ok,,,, or that I want society to be endoctrinated into that belief by force of law... I have another who lived it the first forty years of their life before transitioning into a heterosexual lifestyle,,,,, doesnt matter, its gonna happen, we will continue to pretend that a sexual preference is as biological and definitive and unalterable as gender,,, and we are gonna pay, one way or the other one yes it does talk about judging others: here are few Luke 6:37,matthew 7:1-5, James 4:11-12...there are quite a few actually but that is neither here or there..you are right that we are given brains so that we are able to make choices. you are judging a person when you judge their actions or behaviors because our behavior and actions make use who we are among other things that also contribute. Why worry about a lifestyle that does not affect you?? no one is trying to brainwash anyone into changing their personal beliefs on the subject at hand. No one is pressuring you to support same sex marriage...all they are asking is respect their lifestyle as they respect yours...its not too much to ask. I am not homosexual but I do respect their beliefs and I want people to respect my beliefs whether they agree with it or not. The world is not going to stop spinning because of same sex marriage. Our economy will not fall apart because of same sex marriage in fact if anything the states who legalize it may get a little boost in theirs because many people may choose to move to a state where their marriage will be recognized. We all have the consequences of every decision we make, this will be no different. Why do you care about what happens behind other people's closed doors anyway?? I don't believe anything I do in the bedroom affects anyone but me and my significant other the same goes with same sex couples...what they do behind closed doors is their own business not ours. I disagree, that is what the bible warns against our actions do not make 'who we are' because our actions are choices that can change in any given moment,, 'who we are' is much more complex than anyone choice or string of choices,, that is why I can judge ACTIONS , that is why I Can say I have loved ones who are wonderful PEOPLE but engaged in this deviant lifestyle,,, one is a judgement of the person (wonderful) the other is a judgment of their actions and behaviors,,, I dont care what happens behind closed doors, I do care what is endoctrinated into my childs values and standards by society... what the GOVERNMENT mandates to be endoctrinated into my childs values and standards and education is very much a concern of mine,,, okay, so are you worried about how it may presentrf in the school system?? I believe schools should teach tolerance because it is wrong to hurt a person because they are different or to shun a person because they are different. The same could be said about children with mental disorders. Children should be taught that there are people who are different from them...you don't have to like them but you do have to respect them. that can be achieved by just teaching kids to treat people with respect,, there is no need to go into the details of every behavior people choose to take part in, or to present them as normal, healthy, abmormal, or unhealthy a class to treat others as you wish to be treated would suffice,,, this is an attempt to place the LIFESTYLE in the mainstream as if its actually just the same as any other lifestyle,,, |

In the early years, many parents were vehemently opposed to Sex Ed and most schools stopped teaching it...Then, in the mid 1980's, widespread recognition that HIV could be transmitted through sexual intercourse made it politically untenable to argue against it...The Surgeon General called for sex education to begin as early as the 3rd grade and to INCLUDE INFORMATION ON HETEROSEXUAL AND HOMOSEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS...Within 10 or 12 years, 34 states and the District of Columbia had laws in place that REQUIRED schools to provide SEXUALITY education...Nevada is one of those states Harmony...Nevada is also one of several states that have an Opt-In policy that requires parental permission...To me, this means you have the final say about how your kids are educated on the subject of sex...If you are opposed to having your children exposed to information about homosexuality that is being presented and taught by qualified educators under well regulated guidelines, just say no...Homosexuality is not contagious and the responsibility of teaching right from wrong belongs to parents, not schools... I dont plan to raise my daughter here in Vegas, I plan to keep my daughter in private environments as much as possible until I find public schools that dont contradict the standards I wish to instill but its good to know there are places that will allow me to opt out,,,,for now |

Schools wouldn't have to teach tolerance if it were actually taught at home. Unfortunately, many aren't taught tolerance and end up bullying those different from them. Parents aren't doing their jobs well when that happens.

Parents aren't doing their jobs well when that happens. I agree. Compassion and consideration are taught at home, but it helps if they are reinforced throughout culture,,, |

...and the responsibility of teaching right from wrong belongs to parents, not schools... Well then, maybe everyone should home school. Rules and laws are taught. Right from wrong (morality)is something different. We learn the rules and we learn the laws and we learn what is acceptable by the society we live in. A psychopath can learn what society says is right and wrong, and a psychopath can learn the rules and the laws and be very law abiding, and never get into trouble, but he is still a psychopath. The core of 'right and wrong' comes from compassion and love. That is something we are learning through life experiences from the day we are born. It's nobody's 'job' to teach, if it can be taught. You are partially correct...The core of right and wrong is love and it begins in the womb...How it is "expressed" to children by their parents plays a major role in how and what type of influence society will have on the child during his or her formative years...Parents are responsible for providing a solid foundation and monitoring the building process, if you get my drift...Parents have the most influence on their children... |

Sometimes. But there are so many parents who work, and let some nanny raise their children, and parents who send their children to school just to be rid of them. In the absence of good parenting, the good teachers can be a positive influence, even though it is technically NOT their responsibility to teach them right from wrong or what they think are moral values. That is why they have taken religion out of the schools. Parents are supposed to be the responsible ones. |

That is why they have taken religion out of the schools. Parents are supposed to be the responsible ones. Of course Jennie, but bad parenting or good parenting does not shift "where" the ultimate responsibility lies...And I totally agree with you, there is much room for improvement with respect to how some parents parent (or don't) these days... Good teachers are a positive influence on kids who are receiving good parenting too,...And don't forget this aspect...School administrators and teachers are extremely limited and highly regulated as to classroom dialogue, counseling, and discipline technique...Bottom line, responsibility for not only teaching but enforcing "right" behavior falls to the parents... |

well lets think about why they want to marry in the first place...its because they want to same rights as other married couples...they want their partners to be able to get the same benefits as others if and when one dies...why shouldn't they have the same rights as the rest of us?? perhaps if we relented on that the the push for same sex marriage would not be such a big thing right now...as far as children are concerned i honestly do not believe it makes a child bad or good or straight or gay. It is how they are raised. Children just want to be loved and protected...we live in a time where it really doesn't matter if its two men two women a man and a woman or just one parent alone. I feel the same about when people feel homosexuals should not adopt. I have yet to see proof where this hurts children. I have been working with children for over twelve years and I have seen all manners of children. In the end, they want someone to want them love them protect them...i have even watch children of various ages be raised in a home with a same sex couple from the time two of them were infants until their current age of 9 and 10. They have other siblings as well we were taken in by the couple when they were 5 7 and 13, now they are 15, 17, and 23. If were living in different times maybe I would feel differently about it, but we are not. We live in a world where there are a variety of people, cultures, and beliefs. Many of us who claim to believe in God and follow his ways are breaking one of his laws by casting judgement to begin with. The world is changing...we cannot stop it. I like to believe in the end it will be a positive change but I also know there is a possibility that people will allow their hate for change to interfere. By no means am I saying that anyone's opinion is wrong, thats the great thing about our country is our ability to speak our opinion. This one just happens to be mine. I guess my opinion would change if I actually worked with children who's lives have been destroyed by all this. Anyway I'm hopeful for the future that some day this will be one of those arguments that will be laid to rest because its getting old. Granted it could take many years for that to happen but its like I said...I'm hopeful because without hope there would be nothing. Have fab day everyone! the bible never says not to cast judgment, we are given brains so we can judge right from wron,, it is not judging a PERSON to judge their action or behavior,, right and wrong are right and wrong regardless of the PERSON doing it as is healthy and unhealthy, its not a judgement of a person I have two close relatives living this lifestyle, they are two very wonderful people whom I love, but that doesnt mean I have to be brainwashed into accepting msm as normal, healthy or ok,,,, or that I want society to be endoctrinated into that belief by force of law... I have another who lived it the first forty years of their life before transitioning into a heterosexual lifestyle,,,,, doesnt matter, its gonna happen, we will continue to pretend that a sexual preference is as biological and definitive and unalterable as gender,,, and we are gonna pay, one way or the other one yes it does talk about judging others: here are few Luke 6:37,matthew 7:1-5, James 4:11-12...there are quite a few actually but that is neither here or there..you are right that we are given brains so that we are able to make choices. you are judging a person when you judge their actions or behaviors because our behavior and actions make use who we are among other things that also contribute.

I dont plan to raise my daughter here in Vegas, I plan to keep my daughter in private environments as much as possible until I find public schools that dont contradict the standards I wish to instill but its good to know there are places that will allow me to opt out,,,,for now Then why did you list (several times) public education curriculum and how it applies to you as a reason you oppose same-sex marriage?....Did you mean it's a reason TO oppose or it's a reason YOU oppose?...Are you speaking on behalf of other parents?....And can I just add that I am shocked to learn that you, a mother, DID NOT KNOW how your own states SEXUAL EDUCATION policy is structured.... because they are interconnected, I plan to keep her in private environments (when I am ABLE....being the significant part of that statement) BECAUSE of the declining value systems the public schools are supporting and teaching however, any property tax or such tax that I pay whenever I move will still be going to the PUBLIC school system, which I will feel pressured not to use because of its decline,,,,, as far as how my states education policy is, my daughter is only six and I have not reached a stage where she will need to learn that,,, YET I have started her out in a private environment from jump because I was not happy with the two years I witnessed from my oldest sons education (four years ago). at which time homosexual relations were not part of the curriculum, but the educational scores were at the bottom of the country,,,, I am not from this state, so I dont consider it 'my state', I am from ohio but my daughters education will be a priority in my life and I will be on top of what the schools are doing where ever i DO end up raising her |

I think home schooling is a good option. These days so many schools are starting children out reading very very young. They are much more capable of learning to read at an early age than they thought when I was in school.
The future will be on line schools with sports and other things for social interactions that they can participate in. Or you can opt to be totally in charge of what the child learns. |

its only as good as the parents education and time is,,,it takes the place of a teacher and a class so it really requires at least one parent to have the patience and time in their day to work with the child,,,,,
far too many parents dont have the option for either parent to be home very long during the week,,,, |
