Oh, Linda. You really are the biggest bigot in the Western Hemisphere. This isn’t even coherent:
The question is sometimes asked, how would same-sex marriage harm your marriage? There are several simple answers. One, it changes what is considered normal and legal throughout our culture and therefore what is taught and modeled to our children and grandchildren. Do we want little Morgan in second grade to learn that when she grows up she might marry a boy or might marry a girl and either one is perfectly fine and she won’t know until she’s older which she prefers, but that’s OK.
Yes. That way, if Morgan is indeed a lesbian, she won’t grow up with the seething self-hatred modeled by people like Linda Harvey. If she’s straight, she’ll grow up to be a decent human being who doesn’t judge people for whom they love, and she probably won’t devote her career to hurting people.
Do you think Morgan will develop with a secure and stable idea about her identity as a girl and woman with this shaky and morally irrational guidance?
Yes. Morgan will be fine. Much better than if she were raised in Linda’s church, which I assume contributes more than its fair share to make sure that gay kids grow
No wonder our kids are anxious, stressed out and feel they have nothing to believe in sometimes, they are being told what they can see themselves is foolishness and being told to swallow these lies and stay quiet if you don’t agree.
Uh. No. Kids pretty much just want to be loved, accepted and nurtured. Also, when they’re raised without irrational, dung-slinging bigotry, they seem pretty okay with the concept that sometimes a prince grows up to marry a princess and sometimes he grows up to marry another prince. Simple.
Until next time Linda says something hurtful and stupid. [About an hour from now?]
“they are being told what they can see themselves is foolishness and being told to swallow these lies and stay quiet if you don’t agree.”
That sounds like a description of religeous teaching to me.
Teaching kids that talking snakes are real is fine. Teching them that gay people can legally married is not. Uh, okay.
Strident anti-gay activist Harvey is simply rehashing the dishonest anti-gay commercials used in California in 2008 against Prop. 8. So, her dishonestly is not even original dishonesty!
She wants to indoctrinate school children with the idea that anti-gay bullying and self-loathing are acceptable behaviors. Do we really want our kids growing up believing that it’s okay to attack someone because he/she is different? Let’s not allow our schools to be used for an anti-gay social reengineering experiment courtesy of the militant anti-gay lobby!

And for a feather in her cap, the SPLC has just listed her Mission: America as a hate group.
“Do you think Morgan will develop with a secure and stable idea about her identity as a girl and woman with this shaky and morally irrational guidance?”
Yes. She’ll develop a far more secure and stable idea about her identity if she’s nurtured and loved *as she is* rather than if she’s told she can choose only one path (marry a man and bear a litter of children), then bullied mercilessly if she dares to say that’s not what she wants.
Speaking of fundies and their incursions into the public schools in this country:

Oh, Harvey, if you’re worried that one of your children will turn out gay, simply take them aside, sit them down, and explain to them in your own uniquely loving way, that if they ever so much as think of even kissing someone of the same sex, you will stop loving them. Or, if you want to avoid being responsible for your own bigoted hangups, then tell them GOD will stop loving them. That’s all you have to do. Easy-peasy.
Is this bundle of hatred really a mother? I’ll pray for her children if so.
Do we want little Morgan in second grade to learn that when she grows up she might marry a boy or might marry a girl and either one is perfectly fine and she won’t know until she’s older which she prefers, but that’s OK.
What is wrong with little Morgan learning this? Seriously. Is that all the right-wing pseudo Christians can do? Getting their knickers in a twist about a child being told, ‘find the love that is right for you, as soon as you’re old enough’.
The opposition have run out of real reasons. They are now waving their hands and calling LGBT people and their supporters silly names. They have lost, they are just so arrogant they aren’t willing to accept it.
They never had real reasons, all they’ve ever had are lies, imaginary slippery slopes, scaremongering fairy tales, and more lies.
