CBSNews.com Hypes YouTube Video of Little Boy Understanding, Approving of Same-sex Marriage
By Ken Shepherd | July 13, 2011 | 11:30
"It's a talking point so overused it's almost a trope by this point," CBSNews.com's Bailey Johnson groused in a July 11 "The Feed" blog post: "How will I explain this [same-sex marriage] to my children?"
"Obviously that's a question parents have to answer for themselves. Unless they don't explain anything and let the children work things out for themselves. What would that look like?" Johnson asked, answering her own question by setting up a YouTube video that has since been pulled for copyright violations (you can still find the full original here and embedded below):
It might look a little something like this classic video, where a young boy named Calen meets his first gay couple - without knowing what "gay" could be.
The innocence and uncomplicated perspective of children really shouldn't surprise us anymore, and yet it always does. Husbands are boys, wives are girls. So two men would be... two husbands. Makes sense.
Anyway, I'm going to play ping pong now.
Of course, little Calen also proclaimed the "two husbands" marital union to be "funny."
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

He acted like he didn't care and had better things to do like play ping pong. Now adults have to constantly be asked "what do you think of gay marriage or do you support gay marriage" in validation of it they are a moral person or not. So for now on my answer will be "that's funny, I'm going to to play ping pong now"

Look gay people are generally

Look gay people are generally nice people. However their sexual activities are something I do not want to hear about and I especially don't want to hear about how "normal" it is. You can be assured that no CBS employee's children will be taught and encouraged to be gay. No way no how. This is all for show and because they could care less about john q public. Rest assured that they teach their own children something entirely different.
Agreed. The gay folks I know

Agreed. The gay folks I know or have met tend to be nice and fun to be with!
One of my best friends is gay (honest)... been out since he was 18. Traditional mum and dad have accepted him fully.... and he's more "anti-gay" culture than me!
Hates it.

Did the mom explain what is is that homosexuals do to qualify as being gay? After all, just saying you're one doesn't make you one. You have to perform a physical act to switch teams. How about just showing gay porn in all the first grade classes across the country. Anyone that doesn't fully accept it will be treated to several years in the reeducation camp.

"The innocence and uncomplicated perspective of children really shouldn't surprise us anymore, and yet it always does. Husbands are boys, wives are girls. So two men would be... two husbands. Makes sense."
Makes sense? To whom? Most children intuitively know that a male couple are not "husbands". I actually tested my OWN children on this subject and they set the record straight quite emphatically, going so far to saying the idea was crazy that two men could marry. And I have never ONCE informed them one way or the other on the subject. The only way this absurd idea can EVER be justified is to willfully jettison common sense that even a 6 and 8 years old understands intuitively.
But my opinion aside, why not go straight to the source? Why not drill down a bit and find out what homosexual activists REALLY think about sexuality in general and marriage in particular:
"The fact is, a committed, monogamous g a y relationship is very rare. Sometimes good friends make a commitment to share a home and care for and support each other, but as g a y literature itself tells us, these relationships characteristically include an understanding that there will be outside s e x u a l relationships.
"In The Male Couple, by David McWhirter and Andrew Mattison, the authors-a g a y couple themselves- could find no g a y relationship in which fidelity was maintained more than five years. In fact, the authors tell us, "the single most important factor that keeps couples together past the ten-year mark is the lack of possessiveness they feel. Many couples learn very early in their relationship that ownership of each other s e x u a l l y can become the greatest internal threat to their staying together." -- "Reparative therapist", Joseph Nicolosi
Activist Paula Ettelbrick, once policy director for the National Center for L e s b i a n Rights, formerly legal director of the Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund (formerly the Lambda Legal Defense Fund), is tactically "for" same-s e x "marriage," but shares these caveats:
"Being q u e e r is more than setting up house, sleeping with a person of the same gender, and seeking state approval for doing so....Being q u e e r means pushing the parameters of s e x, s e x u a l i t y, and family, and in the process, transforming the very fabric of society....
As a l e s b i a n, I am fundamentally different from non-l e s b i a n women....In arguing for the right to legal marriage, l e s b i a n s and g a y men would be forced to claim that we are just like h e t e r o s e x u a l couples, have the same goals and purposes, and vow to structure our lives similarly....We must keep our eyes on the goals of providing true alternatives to marriage and of radically reordering society's view of reality."
Both the National Center for L e s b i a n Rights and the Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund are considered, not "fringe," but "mainstream" g a y activist groups. Former Lambda Legal Defense Fund president Thomas Stoddard also expresses lukewarm support for same-s e x "marriages":
"I must confess at the outset that I am no fan of the "institution" of marriage as currently constructed and practiced....Why give it such prominence? Why devote resources to such a distant goal? Because marriage is, I believe, the political issue that most fully tests the dedication of people who are not g a y to full equality for g a y people, and also the issue most likely to lead ultimately to a world free of discrimination against l e s b i a n s and g a y men."
"In his 1990 book An End to Shame: Shaping Our Next S e x u a l Revolution...sociologist Ira Reiss describes..."a true s e x u a l democracy [in which] all of us can achieve a much higher level of well-being- an ability to satisfy one's s e x u a l interests without guilt or anxiety...."
Writing in Out magazine, regular contributor Michelangelo Signorile (quoted supra) has described a strategy in which h o m o s e x u a l s
"fight for same-s e x marriage and its benefits and then, once granted, redefine the institution of marriage completely...to debunk a myth and radically alter an archaic institution....The most subversive action lesbians and g a y s can undertake-and one that would perhaps benefit all of society-is to transform the notion of 'family' entirely."
It's time journalists start doing some real research, band together in number and put their reputations on the line to expose the truth of the homosexual agenda.

The quotations are particularly enlightening.
Your children are the norm, not the exception. While I don't have children, I certainly have a very vivid memory from my own childhood of the first time I even heard of "homosexuality."
One day in middle-school some guy called me "gay" (not an unusual thing, I don't think). I looked it up in an old dictionary and found "happy," so I didn't get it.
So I asked some less-naive friends what it meant and they rolled their eyes and said "homosexual." So I looked that up and found the meaning, but I immediately thought "But why or how? It doesn't make sense!" This was in middle-school.

typical mindless bigotry

typical mindless bigotry. There's no such thing as the "homosex-" fraud and never was (homo=same+sex=opposite?!), exposed by "The gay invention" at http://www.touchstonemag.com/archives/article.php?id=18-10-036-f
They're just deranged, violent fascist perverts in lust, not love, who have to threaten and silence those who've walked away from the deathstyle (see http://exodus.to), even to threatening to kill their kids, similar to how they tore a crucifix off an old woman and stomped on it at a CA pro-Prop 8 rally, illustrating the diabolical nature of the opposition to true marriage by the lying "gay" fraud counterfeit. See how evil fascist child molester pervert Kinsey was instrumental in the decimation of our morals jurisprudence at www.drjudithreismna.org. This is just a further extension of deranged evolutionist apostate clergyman Darwin's delusional and arrogant antiChristian bigotry opposing true science with his religious fraud, unlike creationist great scientist Sir Isaac Newton who wrote more about the Bible than he did science, knowing it was far more important, unlike today's historically and especially Biblically illiterate fools so effectively devoted to the ruin of our education in what will soon be a once great nation of illiterate idiot box fools who can no longer read text, just pictures, for one cannot lose the word of God without concommitantly losing the word of man as well, a fatal fact the Founders knew and warned us against, the reason why one of their first orders of business in establishing this once-great CHRISTIAN Republic was the ordering of the printing of Bibles.
