Evan Kirshenbaum's son (Re: gay meaning bad)
[nq:1]My son is five years old. All his life he's known male/female couples and male/male couples(1). His friends and ours ... completely normal, and although he notices it, he seems to consider the variation on par with height or hair color.[/nq]
This reminds me of a Calvin and Hobbes strip! Here is your son, Evan:
Hobbes: How are you doing on your New Year's resolutions? Calvin: I didn't make any.
See, in order to improve oneself, one must have some idea of what's "good". That implies certain values.
But as we all know, values are relative. Every system of belief is equally valid and we need to tolerate diversity. VIRTUE ISN'T "BETTER" THAN VICE. IT'S JUST DIFFERENT.
Hobbes: I don't know if I can tolerate that much tolerance. Calvin: I refuse to be VICTIMIZED by notions of virtuous behavior.
