How does allowing gay marriage have anything to do with education?

Chrispy: How does allowing gay marriage have anything to do with education?
Why do so many people state that their child will be taught about gay marriage in school if gay marriages were legal?

I don’t recall hearing this argument nearly as frequently when civil unions became legal.

Its just weird twisted logic. I don’t recall being taught about marriage at all in school.

For the same reason that if two people of the same sex who love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together get married people will develop a sudden passion to marry a herd of goats

Answer by ♥♡kate♡♥
It doesn’t, Those are all lies just to get gay marriage banned..because their only real argument is “the bible”..and they know it wont work, because of separation of church and state…so they start making up fake reasons as to why gay marriage should be banned! It’s truly sickening…The reason prop 8 was passed was because people actually believed what the people were saying about gay marriage.,,

Answer by Barack B
Funny thing is when I was at school I wasn’t taught about blatant bigotry then again we never learnt about marriages either.

Answer by just me…
i learned marrage and sex by my parents that is how it should be
also never even heard of civil union

Answer by ♥Socially Awkward♥
It doesn’t.

I guess in CA the people whom wanted to vote YES on prop 8 had more funding for smear ad’s.

where would be the harm in teaching kids about gay marriage? i promise you, the species would perpetuate as normal whether they taught this or not.

my answer to you is it has nothing to do with anything, just the usual paranoia exhibited by the religious extremists of any creed.

Answer by Maggie J
im bi so im all for gay marriage
however many parents are concerned because they consider being gay and gay marriage to be wrong and schools would have to teach that sex is between two people not between a man and a woman and also that marriage is simply between two people not a man and woman. and then dont want their children taught that.
hope i helped.
