News flash for you closed minded folks around here.
Some people are gay.... it's been that way for centuries.
WTH does parents not wanting other people subjecting their young children to grown up issues have to do with close minded.

I don't know. My weekend priorities (my kids) tend to keep me from making it to very many EnS events.
The Free Methodist Church allows same sex marriage. Their pastors are also salaried by the national organization. Just a couple of tidbits.It's the Methodists

My definition of ordination is a consecration by means of studying and sacrifice by a legitimate church not some website you pay $10 to.
Becoming an ordained minister in that way just cheapens the practice and the religion ordaining the person. Not to mention the illegitimacy of the consecrated acts performed by the "ordained minister". Just another way they can tear down our belief systems.
Currently, "self-avowed, practicing" gay, lesbian and bisexual persons cannot be ordained in The United Methodist Church. According to the Book of Discipline: "The practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching. Therefore self-avowed practicing homosexuals are not to be certified as candidates, ordained as ministers, or appointed to serve in The United Methodist Church." Although some regions still raise obstacles, gay, lesbian and bisexual persons who take a vow of abstinence are eligible for ordination according to church law. In 2014, both the New England and California-Pacific conferences issued statements that they would not discriminate against LGBTQ people seeking ordination—an action that goes directly against church law.
Dude ,I have nothing against gays at all. I have a problem when someone out side of family who tries to shove their ideals down other peoples children's throat. This is not about "gay" this is about parents raising their children how they see fit, not some unknown SJW that thinks the world needs their guidance!I'm not gonna start going back on fourth on this crap.
You don't like gays, fine. Live your life the way you see fit.
I'll continue to treat them as people.
@Ignored Member, please show me anywhere in this thread or another where I said "I don't like gays" I went back and reread what I have posted trying to see how I left you with that impression and I don't see it.
Why the hate? Because they are different? Because they have different beliefs than you? So what they like the same sex, that doesn't explain the hate and vitriol that you just spewed and that I've seen in other posts. I've seen similar responses from people who claim to be followers of Christ yet that goes against the very teachings expressed in the bible. That is the point I'm trying to get across.
^^^^^^3 year olds are still working on the whole don't pee the bed thing!! Dealing with alternative life styles needs to be way down the road!! It is not some cartoonists job to subject kids to all the world issues, that is the parents job and frankly when other folks take it upon themselves to subject their ideals on someone else's children they should have a serious smacking up side the head. Don't tell folks that what people do behind closed doors is no one else's business and then tell them in the same breath that they have the right to subject your kids to this stuff!!
Kids will ask the questions when it is time or the parents can fill in the blanks. Not some asshat who is not paying for that childs lively hood!
