Go Ahead, Make My Day!
Just an FYI, my niece is homosexual and I love her dearly. However, the specific statements saying that everyone should wish for their children to be homosexual were offensive me when I read them. I am a firm believer that discussions on religion, politics and sex should be avoided unless everyone involved is fully aware of what may potentially be said and fully accepts that there will probably be differing opinions that one or more people will be very adamant about. I have purposely avoided the threads on religion and politics on this site, and would have also avoid threads on sexual orientation, etc. However, as a moderator that has to follow up on Reported Posts, I am obligated to read such threads when necessary.
Perhaps I continued to reply in haste when I posted my second response and may not have responded at all if I had waited and thought longer. But that is currently neither here nor there. There have been enough Reported Posts from other members recently, as well as PMs amongst moderators. I will now go ahead and do what perhaps should have been done long ago. If I lose some members' friendship, so be it. However, I will do what has to be done.
