Hello. I'm barging in. I put in my two cents in on the other thread, but I wanted to add a little blurb here. I come from a small-ish town and really, there is no diversity here. My daughter went to a christian school that taught that the only thing that is right is man and woman, white and white, black and black and on and on. Once I learned of some of the things they were teaching her, I pulled her and enrolled her in public school. I would give anything for her to actually see with her own eyes that God made people in many different ways, but we can all love each other equally without putting limits on who or what we can love. We were just at Disney this past week but I do plan on taking her during "gay days" so that she can see that there is nothing different about love. So anybody who will be there when we will (in two or three years), I say, hold hands, give kisses, smile and let everybody see the love! All you'll hear out of my mouth is "awwwww...I want somebody to love me like that!"
I'd love to join in! I'm such a lurker, but randomly throw in my pennies. What in the world were you doing in Beloit??? Did somebody forget to tell you that there is nothing here?
Thank you for bringing up a very good point. One of DP's and my fears is that our children will be influenced by that behavior and end up straight. We've tried our best to bring them up right, but what can a parent do when that stuff by the straights is going on right in front of them?
That reminds me of Gayday last year, when CanadianGuy and Turkygurl decided we needed to follow the parade and clap. Needless to say every gay in the kingdom ended up clapping in tune to them, and almost all the cast members too!

I saw this last year!!! (Didn't it rain that day? Anyone remember?) This was the first year I had been during Gay Days and I assumed you always followed the parade. Please see this as funny as I did- my then 7 year old son thought it was a Disney Gay parade and was upset that he couldn't join. Unfortunately his father (my EX) is much more narrow minded, but I am trying... He's only 9 now. Whatever life he chooses I will love. I told him I would go with him and walk in the parade. Then I find out we couldn't join- in his mind- because we weren't wearing red. Next time I know...
Ok, I will have to pull them out of an old scrapbook. For some reason I did not save all my pics to my computer from that trip. I will scan them and get them on.
