I am also glad you don't have young children. Thank you for your service. I find your opinions hateful, but I would take up arms to defend your right to have those opinions. I hope that you don't have anyone nonheterosexual in your family, but if you do just try to give them a chance when they come out. I'm willing to bet you'll find they are the same person you loved before you knew their sexual preferences.Man, when I was growing up people didn't discuss homosexuality in public, period. Dinnertime conversation - hell no.
It was generally accepted (correctly, IMHO) that homosexuality was deviant, abnormal behavior.
When I enlisted in the Navy, a fellow would get a free ticket home for being openly homosexual. Everyone knew they existed, everyone suspected who they were, but they kept that crap in check.
We have not advanced as a culture when we embrace these ideas and celebrate and normalize this garbage. I'm just glad I don't have young children that would be subjected to this kind of crap. Even a passing phrase that shows any tolerance of it is normalization.
