Daughter is 33 son just turned 30....we lost our middle child three years ago, she would be 31 now. They are self-assured and comfortable in their own heterosexual skins...so they have no hangups about homosexuality whatsoever. They have gay and lesbian friends and find any type of bigotry revolting. They're neat adults who make their mama very proud. The only reason I posted anything about today's episode was because it felt so strange to not donate to the Boy Scouts...I've been giving to them for 30-40 years...and I almost did today, out of habit, until I remembered just how hypocritically bigoted is the organization. Not only excluding gay boys but protecting pedophiles...it's like the catholic church in khaki and badges.

You keep fighting the good fight...you will win eventually and when you do we all win.
