2nd. Graders will be taught about gay marriage and parents will not have a say-- or be able to withdraw their kids from class--it's happened in Massachusetts!!!
The parents are always free to add their own words of advice or their own take on the issue. They may not be comfortable doing this, otoh.
I've had any number of people ask me "what if your children were gay", and honestly? At the age they are now, I can't tell either way. I'd kind of like them to have a chance to be happy with who and what they are, regardless. If they are, and I was trying desperately to close off any avenues to a life that has otherwise made me happy, that would say a lot about me as a parent.

And I kind of like none of it.
