- I agree that "ok" (or "moral", or whatever) is a concept that is, in many
- cases, best left to the family. It is, IMO, imperative, however, that
- the second concept -- that gays, moral or not, live together, can be quite
- happy and "normal" and can be good parents raising "normal" children --
- be taught. Unlike the first issue, this is one based in fact, not opinion.
