Elementary Homosexuality

This is interesting. One of the questions raised during last night's Democratic presidential debate (the 7,521st this year) was whether the candidates thought it was appropriate that a teacher in Massachusetts read a fairy tale about homosexuals called King & King to a second grade class. Surprisingly, all but Hillary Clinton said they were fine with it, despite the fact that the incident brought a lawsuit from some particularly homophobic parents. As a defender of rational thinking and civil rights, I'm pretty pleased with that result. There could be more support for gay marriage coming from the Democratic field, but this isn't nothing. One of the favorite whines of the gay-hating conservatives has to do with explaining homosexuals to their children. Frankly, judging by most of these people's looks, I'd think it would be more confusing for their children to understand how their moms and dads could stand the sight of each other's naked bodies long enough to conceive a child. Of course, we all know religious conservatives do it with the lights off. Speaking of, Republican candidate and believer in the con that is the Mormon religion Mitt Romney was quick to denounce the Democrats' responses and shill for a constitutional ban on gay marriage. I'm not sure of this, but I think Mormons do it through holes in their magic underwear.
