PDA
Against my better judgment, I posted the following thoughts in my Facebook notes. I know that there are some who are going to go off on it, but I will deal as the need arises.
I just read a really great article about the first week in June at the happiest place on Earth. Wise words of a friend of a friend…(in essence) gay, straight, or purple keep what is private…private. Regardless of where one stands on the issue of homosexuality, this article is a perspective that I feel falls in the silent majority of the homosexual community. Agree or disagree, it isn’t my place to judge another. Shoot, it is all I can do to keep myself in line. Would I want to visit WDW during Gay Days? Not really a conversation that I am just itching to have with my little one while on a family vacation. However, I also have sense enough and am socially aware enough to know that the first week in June is not the best time to go if you wish to avoid it. This is not to be interpreted to mean that I want to shelter my girls from the world. There is a time and place for everything and the article says it best, “Is it really up to any person to decide for that parent when, or if, they will have that conversation with their child?” The author goes on to say that the best thing for the homosexual community to do is to live life with dignity and not force their lives on others. Um…good advice regardless of your persuasion. Dignity, a plus. Force feeding…usually does more to push people away than to have them embrace your cause. Think about it, how many food aversions do you have b/c someone forced you to eat that nasty portion?

“live life with dignity and not force their lives on others.”
Amen. I think this applies to more than just sexual persuasion. I can’t stand it when someone tries to force their religious viewpoints on me either. Just let me live my own life please!

Yes, there is a big difference in sharing and forcing. Share fine, but realize when one is not receptive. After that, just show your beliefs in your own life. Thanks for reading. I was really impressed by the article.

I did not realize Walt Disney World is the happiest place on earth–good article, thanks for sharing.

LOL, apparently. I don’t know though, I wasn’t thrilled as a nine year old and should probably give it a try as an adult.
