Hi, anthic! Welcome to the Feelings thread, and thanks for sharing your enlightened views. I'd like to say something briefly about books like "Heather Has Two Mommies". The children of homosexual parents will feel very strange in school until there is a general societal acceptance that what children need foremost is a whole lot of love, and that homosexual parents can be good parents. These books do not cause young children in school who read them to become homosexual--it is not "catching". But they do teach children tolerance, and I think that is very important. Why should a child be stigmatized, and suffer rejection and humiliation, because of who her parents are? The jury is still out on whether there are any real pathologies in children who were reared by homosexual parents. The first large generation of them is still growing up. I have some concerns in a child developmental sense, in that young children get different things they need from their male and female parents. But that is an ideal--many children are reared in single family homes because of a variety of circumstances. Anyway, thanks for posting. Christine
