Don’t think we’ve really interacted, but, do I read that as you are upset with those 3 points?

Con Christians getting steamrolled for being bigots, it was ok 20 years ago but not now & if you are anti-gay (bigoted) you are in the minority?

So are you upset about them?

If I misinterpreted, I apologize

I don't care. Definitely don't agree with them or their moral philosophy on this. Just crazy how decisively they lost and how far we've come

Yeah, I don’t get that ‘don’t care’ vibe from that post. Particularly when you think conservative christians got steamrolled into not being allowed to behave like bigots.
 
What if she asks if she can share them with her girlfriend someday?

Not sure . . . I will probably handle it in the same way I would handle it if one of my children wanted to divorce and re-marry without their spouse having committed adultery.

In both cases I don't think I would attend the "wedding".

Wow.

I just can’t fathom that.

Not sure who I feel sorry for the most. Your kids, or you.

I meant that I don't care that you asked... since you seemed so tentative.

I'm atheist. I've argued against Christians and much Christian moral arguments for years now.

(Although not so much anymore, thankfully...)

You can love your children and not show acceptance when they do wrong.
Wow.

I have moral beliefs about what marriage is and what it is intended to be. I am not going to change those just cause someone close to me decides to violate those beliefs.

To be honest I would be more angry if my children divorced and remarried (without their spouse abandoning them or committing adultery) than I would be if they entered a same sex marriage.

The latter would simply be putting your own desires above God, which every human does constantly, although we should still be careful not to condone it.

The latter on the other hand victimizes their former spouse and any children they may have had with their selfishness.

Families are ment to stay together, not break apart because you decided that you would prefer another partner.

Hey, you do you.

I couldn’t turn my back on family, particularly kids, because they love someone. That’s a pretty miserable person that does that, as far as I’m concerned.

But, like I said, you do you.

I didn't say I would turn my back on them. I said I wouldn't go to the wedding. There is a difference.

Call me kooky, but I think most people most people really like their parents to spend their joyous day with them and would really take that as a slight.

But, you do you.

Maybe, that is the risk of taking a moral stand.
Hey, I’m not advocating that you do anything you don’t wish to. In fact, I’ve said several times, you do you.

I’m just not in the habit of making other people’s special lifetime events all about me.

You do you.

I'll say it again -- christian conservatives got steam rolled in culture wars over the past 20 years.

I first started posting on message boards around 20 years ago. It's nothing like it used to be.

Anti-gay sentiment puts you in the distinct minority nowdays.
It wasn't just Christian conservatives. It was the whole country. Remember the entire building chanting "******" at Christian Laettner? That wasn't 18,000 Christian conservatives, that was a cross section of society.

Ehh... I was specifically talking about the culture wars. Christianity in its more literalist form has been on the decline for a long time in the west. This was all bound to happen, but I think it really declined quickly the past two decades specifically in the US. Pretty much total rejection from popular culture. And it needed to, it was just surprising how quick.

Fair enough.
Just don't disown your kids based on "who they are".
