WASHINGTON It had to happen: Washington’s culture wars have now reached the Easter Bunny.

**Next Monday, some 200 gay families are planning to attend the annual White House Easter Egg Roll to showcase themselves to the nation and President George W. Bush. But some religious conservatives say the families are “crashing” the public event and exploiting children for political ends. **

“We’re not protesting the president’s policies on gay families,” insisted Jennifer Chrisler, the executive director of the Family Pride Coalition, the organizer of the gay families attending the event. “We are, however, helping him understand that gay families exist in this country and deserve the rights and protections that all families need.”

Not so, said Mark Tooley, the director of the United Methodist committee at the Institute on Religion and Democracy, an influential conservative group.

I always thought the Easter Bunny was gay. 😛

Well he’s obviously into show-tunes and Streisand! That’s usually a given. 🙂

I thought the Easter bunny was the AntiChrist. Whoops! He is?
I thought it was Barney. No, wait, I thought it was ACLU, the American Communist Liberties Union. I thought it was the computer. I don’t suppose the AntiChrist will be a cross-dresser do you?
 
I still maintain that shrink-wrap is the most obvious sign that the anti-Christ dwells amongst us… :eek:
 
You would exclude CHILDREN based only on the circumstances under which they live. Every single one of which was conceived one egg one sperm, like all children. The predominant majority of whom were conceived in the normal, heterosexual way.

Excluding these children because through no fault of their own, they have homosexual parents, is as socially and morally repugnant as excluding them for being Asian, disabled, American Indian, black, poor, etc.

So, who is it that is “expoiting CHILDREN for political ends”?

And you presume to represent the Catholic position. Shame!

With all due respect, even if there are heterosexual parents who have problems, it’s a heterosexual couple that has the best chance of providing a normal upbringing for a child. A child needs a mother AND a father. He or she can’t get the normal and typical family life otherwise.

Huh? all I’ve read on this thread is someone cutting and pasting a news article and people talking about the Easter bunny being the antichrist. What exactly did people on this thread say about excluding children? Have you rushed to conclusions a little quickly?

**It’s not about excluding the children of homosexuals. What do you think it’s saying to other children who have heterosexual parents? **

Why, to be fair the White House should allow Polygamists (Tommy’s got three moms), Zoophiles (Cindy’s Dad is a German Sheperd) and Pederasts (Sophie’s Father’s spouse is a 16 yr. old boy). I bet the White House wouldn’t allow a parent to smoke at the Annual Easter Egg Roll. Oh no that would be setting a bad example. Let’s say a parent refused to put out their cigarette when asked well I’m sure the child would be escorted out as well. Now is that fair that the child of a smoker should be excluded? Let’s be fair now.

**It’s getting to where you can’t take your children anywhere because of all the deviant lifestyles. Yes, children of homosexuals are victims and they should have the same rights as children of heterosexual couples but what about the rights of parents who don’t want their children exposed to these publicly sinful lifestyles? These groups like Family Pride has one thing in mind, to NORMALIZE homosexual behavior and their doing a fantastic job. They are taking baby steps but the steps are getting much bigger now. But don’t worry in a few years you won’t even notice because you will have become immune to it, you know like the frog in the boiling water. The frog doesn’t know its in trouble until it’s too late to jump out. Oh, and just in case you come back with the argument of "Well what about children of adulterers, people addicted to porn, wife abusers, women who have had abortions. These are usually private sins, not publicly displayed and as obvious as a same sex couple would be. You know in a generation these same sex couples will seem like nothing. We ain’t seen nothing yet. The children of today who are constantly exposed to this stuff will be the lawmakers of the future and because it is being normalized now think about what will be normalized when they are grown up. **
 
They are simply making a political statement. I don’t think an Easter Egg Hunt intended for children should be turned into a politcal event.

OK, so those children living in single parent families have abnormal lives?

What does this have to do with the Capital lawn Easter Egg hunt?
 
Whoa! my previous post rises to the level of requiring bold, red and large font. You must be yelling. Are you perspiring and breathing fast too?
Must have pushed some of your buttons.

You poor, poor persecuted and threatened thing.:crying:

You know, perhaps you can get a big enough group together to start your own country. You know, your own Liberia. You wouldn’t have to “expose” your children to the horrors of such deviants as homosexuals, liberals, CINOS, abortionists, the publically sinful…you fill in the rest.

I give my child enough credit to have the intelligence to recognize the difference between moral reason, perversion and justice. I’m pretty sure that he is able to discern right from wrong and can state the standards and morals I hold him to.

Consider this fact–those homosexual/same sex parents pay income taxes also. Their children have as much entitlement to be a part of this annual National Tradition as those of every heterosexually parented family.

Oh, and BTW, when did you decide that you are clairvoyant? Don’t quit your day job, your predictions of the way my mind works is in error. And you know why that is? Because you and I don’t live in the same world, don’t share a reality. There is no point of common reference in your world view and mine. So, spare us all your efforts at mind reading.

Well thought out and explained response.

Most reputable psychologists say you’re wrong, Bella. Look at some statistics.

Facts > opinions every time.

Not to mention the inherent heretical nature of support for homsexuality child rearing.

Yelling, perspiring and breathing fast? Not quite but sorry to disappoint you. I’m very use to seeing and reponding to these kinds of posts. And if you would bother to look at any of my previous posts or threads you would see that I often use large, red and other color fonts, I do it for emphasis not out of anger, although there have been a few times I was angered but this wasn’t one of them.

I wouldn’t be so sure. If a child is exposed to anything long enough it wears down their resistance.

I believe I pretty much stated this in my post

**Yes, children of homosexuals are victims and they should have the same rights as children of heterosexual couples ** **

**but, what about the rights of the children who shouldn’t be exposed to a deviant and immoral lifestyle? It is these children and the adults who raise them who have no rights anymore. **

I don’t know where on earth you came up with the clairvoyant stuff. Where in my post did I make predictions of this? If you are referring to my “just in case you come back with this argument…” I wasn’t making a prediction but I do hear these arguments alot.

God bless

Sometimes being a single parent is out of necessity if a spouse passes away. But usually, in fact almost all of the time if not all of the time, a child needs two parents, a mother and a father. A child can’t get that from homosexual parents, which is the point of the discussion, not single parents.
