Jody if you're restricting other people's freedoms that's hardly "just wanting your kids to not think its normal." If you don't want them to think it's normal then tell them it isn't. Don't oppress other people.
I probably wouldn't find a lot of things about your lifestyle "normal." That doesn't mean I'm going to try to ban them or punish you by restricting aspects of your life to try to somehow condemn you. If you aren't hurting others then whatever you do is your business.

Since homosexuality occurs in about 10% of populations of just about all species, I don't see how it can be anything but normal.
Maybe it's not the most desirable thing to wind up as, given all the grief you have to endure from the other 90%, but that's another matter.
OF course if you think Homosexuality is a choice, then all bets are off on the above, but you're going against a LOT of scientific evidence.

"choice or not, you have no right to choose the way people live out their personal lives."
ahhh, there you have it; marriage is not "personal" or private; it's PUBLIC...i don't care what people do in the privacy of their own bedrooms, but the marriage issue is not a bedroom matter

Other Dirt, here's the thing. Generally speaking, they are a crowd that doesn't like, don't understand, and are a little fearful of science. They are, by and large, the same crowd that believes the world is 6000 years old and think global warming is a hoax. It's like talking science with Sarah Palin: forget it.

What? That is just ridiculous, it is a PERSONAL choice to want to get married, I don’t get a say in who you marry, hell I don’t even know if you’re married because it’s a PERSONAL matter and I dont care if your married, even if it is to your dog/cat/hamster/salamander/cow/man/woman/stapler/watermelon. It's none of my business who you or anyone else marries because it is a PERSONAL piece of information. Do you think gays are going to be walking down the street (other than a parade setting) yelling, "Hey look at us were married!" do you do that with your wife? I don't do it with mine.
EDIT: It's only a public matter because people like you think it should be.

Anyone know how long "marriage" has been around, western culture wise? Wasn't it started in Europe only a couple hundred years ago?
Why is a couple of drunk 20 years old getting married in Las Vegas more special than a homosexual couple that have been living together succesfully for 40 years and want to marry?

Bookworm, better logic has never been expressed as to why the government should ban your posting.

That's a really good question. The last one.

Some of the prop 8 supporters in my city are keeping their kids out of school today in protest. There were 12 of 19 kids in my daughter's kindergarten class this morning.
I guess the CTA has put $250,000 towards the campaign againts 8 so the 8 supporters want to keep their kids home so the schools don't get funding for daily attendance.

The Bible: Think about the source. Written in stages by people who were convinced the earth was flat, many of whom had never been more than 20 miles from their place of birth. Delusional.

Also, none of the texts of the New Testament were written by people who even knew Jesus. In fact, contemporary evidence that Jesus even existed is lacking.
Anyway, Horus = Jesus.

Prop. 8 Supporters--YOU SUCK!!! BIG TIME!!
I just got word that some bigot a-hole put a Yes on 8 yard sign in MY yard! A friend of ours saw it and removed it. The nerve of these brainwashed idiots.
I see these people holding signs that are outright lies. "8= religious freedom" "8=free speech" etc.
If you have to lie about it, do you think that maybe you are on the wrong side of the issue? Keep your stupid brainwashing to yourselves, and don't discriminate against a minority which should be treated equal. This is America, if you want religous bullshit in your goverment move to Iran or become a Taliban!

Forget about Prop 8. It only is a "gateway" initiative to the final goal: Abolition of Shrimp!
These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you
Leviticus 11:9-12 (King James Version)
