This is sooo retarded! God, if they are in love, let them get married! Who cares if they are lesbians or gay or not!

BOSTON (Reuters) - A federal judge in Boston has dismissed a suit by two families who wanted to stop a Massachusetts town and its public school system from teaching their children about gay marriage, court documents show.

The families last year filed the suit asserting that the reading of a gay-themed book and handing out to elementary school students of other children's books that discussed homosexuality without first notifying parents was a violation of their religious rights.

Federal Judge Mark Wolf ruled on Friday that public schools are "entitled to teach anything that is reasonably related to the goals of preparing students to become engaged and productive citizens in our democracy."

"Diversity is a hallmark of our nation. It is increasingly evident that our diversity includes differences in sexual orientation," he said.

He said the courts had decided in other cases that parents' rights to exercise their religious beliefs were not violated when their children were exposed to contrary ideas in school.

The complaint filed against the town of Lexington, about 12 miles west of Boston, had said the school had "begun a process of intentionally indoctrinating very young children to affirm the notion that homosexuality is right and normal in direct denigration of the plaintiffs' deeply held faith."

The book that sparked the case was "King & King" which tells the story of a crown prince who rejects a bevy of beautiful princesses, rebuffing each suitor until falling in love with a prince. The two marry, sealing the union with a kiss, and live happily ever after.

The Lexington school system had said reading the book was not intended as sex education but as a way to educate children about the world in which they live, especially in Massachusetts, the only U.S. state where gays and lesbians can legally wed.

A lawyer for the families said they would appeal the ruling, the Boston Globe reported on Saturday.


The families have a right to voice their opinions but come on! this world has enough prejuduce! it doesn't need more. i hate it when ppl make fun of ppl or hate others just because of their sexual prefences.
i have a friend that gets teased all the time just because he is bi. i dont care. im still friends with him. and i have a friend that is a lesbian. i dont care. the whole school, town even knows and they dont care. they knew since she was really young.
but when my friend thats bi, im not nameing names here, come out and that, he gets picked on terribly but my other friend doesn't. i dont get it.
and my aunt is a lesbian. she came out and told us all last year. Ive never seen her so happy in my life. its amazing. im preaty sure they get hatred comments when they are out in public. but that doesn't stop them.

hey, you know... i know alot of ppl on here that are bi or something. but we aren't mean to them just because of their sexual preffences. we treat them just like anybody else. Why can the world be like that? why cant we all just accept it and move on? why do we have to shun that away from our kids and make them just like us, hating ppl who have different sexual prefferences than us just because we do? why do we all have to be adding to the vicious circle?

When i have kids, if i do, ima teach them right. ima expose them to the right type of life and teach them not to be prejudece or descriminate ppl just because they are one way or different. it doesn't matter. we are all humans. we should act like we all are humans.

plz dont start this whole hatred thing or big deal out of it. just leave your comments and plz no fights.
