Hound: I get your point but the issue is not really one of "acceptance" per se. Most people I know (even orthodox Catholics like me) accept that people are engaged in the gay lifestyle and we accept their right to engage in whatever behaviors they want behind closed doors. Doesn't make it natural or right but we accept their right to privacy. We also accept civil unions which convey all the legal rights that the gay community supposedly wanted when they pushed that agenda.

What can never be true, even if a majority of Americans "accept" it, is the concept of same-sex "marriage". It is simply not definitionally possible and any push for our society to call same-sex relationships as a marriage is a farce and only degrades and further destroys the most important societal unit, the family. Study after study indicate that children do better in a stable home with their biological father and a mother. Any other structure has been conclusively demonstrated to harm children (obviously not every child in every situtation but statistically speaking it is inarguable that a family consisting of one man married to one woman is the best circumstance).

But the push for homosexual education in government schools (which is why I don't send my kids there) goes way beyond mere acceptance of their lifestyle choices. It is intended to normalize that which is an aberration. If you wish to pursue a lifestyle that is an aberration then have it and many gay people do exactly that and want to live and let live. Fair enough. But the fact that 3% to 4% of our population has same-sex attraction does not make it something we should be forced to accept.
