perhaps you missed their point by what you said. You say you disagree, ok fair enough, but you also said they CHOSE a lifestyle which they DID NOT! that is the ignorance and the way you said it which definitely implies the hate not disagreement. If you really had an open mind and think, why would anyone CHOOSE and subject oneself to all the hate? would you choose something to be hated and persecuted? I think not! As for the kids, they will grow up and be who they are, gay or straight. Being around a gay person isn't going to 'make them gay'. if they are gay they will know and hopefully enjoy life free from hate and persecution. but alas I don't think you will ever get it as I believe you are too closed minded and can't see the forest for the trees!
