"I'm not against Proposition 8; if gay people want to get married, whatever, but I heard there's a component that calls for it to teach children about gays in the schools. I mean, I'd almost rather have them be taught about God, or something. I mean, why can they learn about gays, but not God...?"
I managed to quip all but the final syllable of the response: "Well, gay people actually exist..." before thinking better of it and clamming up. Luckily, my interlocutor only pays intermittent attention at best, and it was as if I'd never opened my mouth at all.
I'm definitely getting less timid about my own views, but I'm not sure at all whether that's a good thing or not. Adopting a more vocal stance and a less vocal one are both are tempting and extreme.

Because it is actually more decent to impose on children to learn about the goodness of god than about sexual perference... they are children for god shakes; have a live time to develope their own sexual perferences and differences without being influenced by what is thought to be normal but actually it is not normal for everyone. Talking about sexual perferences(men,women,children or animals) is not quite the same as talking about different cultures or races; it is a more personal and private subject, where there is a fine line between right and wrong (who is to say what is right, and for whom?). This are discution that even adults find it complex to have, how much more children....
Nothing against people's sexual perferences but totally against confusing children's minds with unecessary "stuff" which on the long term might bring more harm than good; confusion, sexual instability and insecurity as well psychological damages.
