if it's not good enough for your children why then is it good enough for other kids? Think about it for a moment, and I think you'll see the obvious answer. I only have the right to decide for my kids. Other parents have to decide for theirs. Some parents may feel that their children belong to high-risk groups, that their children have questions they don't feel comfortable asking their parents, etc. Some parents may have children that they know or suspect are gay; they might feel that the child might benefit from discussing this with a confidential outside source. It is not a question of what is "good enough" for any given child. It is a question of what is appropriate, and that is best decided by parents. It is not my task, or that of the state, or that of the fundamentalists, to tell other parents what is appropriate for their children to discuss at a privately funded conference held on private premises.

Well I would send my child if they wanted to go to such a conference and I would go with them- if they were comfortable with that. Since I am a very reasonable parent, and very open about information, I think my children would allow me to go with them. And if my child WAS gay I would encourage them to find the most loving and stable way to pursue that. I think Steven might do the same- although I cannot speak for him.
