No offence intended , but I did not see this as a moral debate about being Gay . I think it just went off in an odd direction and people get mighty defensive when you don't think the same as they do .

The censoring comes from parents (in a perfect world). I already cut shows I don't want my 3 1/2 year old to watch. I would do it with this show too.
But you'll not see me stopping them from doing it.

You couldn't edit this one without a bit of forehand knowledge , and then how do you explain to a tot who's favorite word is ...."why?"
I would not try to stop them either , just a little more "mature subject" information .

That's easy to solve.
Connor: Daddy, why does she have two mommies?
Me: Shut up
Connor: Awwww
Me: Want to ride your bike?
We both walk away and he never remembers saying it.

GAYS ARE INTOLORANT!!!
Remeber, ONE aspect of why fundamentalist radical jihadist muslims call the USA the great satan, is because they dont tolorate homosexuality, and we do...we're getting ready to legitimize and institutionalize this idea into our culture....then in their eyes, not only do we let homo's do whatever, but now we've put it into laws that support it. This has now gone from (providing gay items are legalized) a deviant sex practice to a part of what it means to be American.
Honestly, i as a non gay citizen look and see gays saying legitimize us, and terrorists trying to kill me because id allow you to be legit....
Hmm id rather hurt your feelings then be dead...soo because of the "gay face" the terrorists see, id have to say id rather show them a different face, and decline gay kids shows as well as gay marriage, in hopes that I can remove one of the obsticals as to why im being hunted.
I also rather hurt peoples feelings then allow our democratic principals to be nullified....no minority adgenda is worth sacrificing our democracy.

That doesn't solve the equation. This question will come up again, either to you, or worse a friend that has no idea himself. Now at a young age your child has a view of gays that is totally off base. I said earlier in this thread how it was dealt with with our kids, honestly. And this is funny, last night as I was scanning this thread, no lie, my wife was flipping through the VOD to see what was on. There it was on channel 209, and my 10 year old girl says," Will & Grace, Mommy, let's watch Will & Grace." She knows what it is to be gay,it doesn't bother her, as it shouldn't.

shows some of the intolorance i see exhibited from the gay community....
Ive overheard gay guys .........
MacM says,
"if you had been born gay and have had to grow up with intolerance your whole life...wouldn't you be a little less tollerant to others also?"
Intolorance is not limited to physical abuses.
MacM again,
"Just because people are demanding to be treated as the same as the rest of the population does not make them intollerant. "
NO it doesnt, untill the name calling starts...untill the behaivior becomes negative twords the other side
